Cohesion:Cohesion refers to the overall flow and unity of ideas within an essay. Transitional devices play a crucial role in creating cohesion by linking sentences and paragraphs together.
Synonyms/Repetition: Using synonyms or repeating key words can also serve as transitional devices. They help reinforce connections between ideas by using familiar language throughout an essay.
Chronological Order/Time Transitions: Time transitions such as "first," "next," "then," etc., help establish chronological order and provide a clear sequence of events or ideas.
