Yleistä konjunktioista ja sidesanoista

2021-09-14T11:35:56+03:00

Konjuntioita ja muita sidesanoja käytetään YHDISTÄMÄÄN LAUSEITA toisiinsa.

Niiden ansioista teksti on usein SUJUVAMPAA ja MONIPUOLISEMPAA.

Tekstin sisäisiä SEURAUSSUHTEITA on myös helppo korostaa niiden avulla (SAMA/ERI AIKA, SYY, SEURAUS, EHTO).

Oikein ja sopivasti käytettyinä ne tekevät KIRJOITELMASTA monipuolisemman ja mukavamman lukukokemuksen.
