Linkers and Prepositions
Connectors and dependent prepositions shape meaning at sentence level. This chapter reviews result, contrast, and purpose linkers alongside common adjective + preposition pairs.
Dependent Prepositions
Some adjectives take a fixed preposition: 'good at', 'interested in', 'afraid of'. In the passive, the agent takes 'by'.
Linking Ideas
'As a result' and 'therefore' signal consequence; 'in contrast' and 'even so' signal opposition; 'in case' signals precaution. Match the linker to the logic.
