You are at the Cannes Film Festival in France. You want to describe all of the marvellous sights you see on the red carpet as the stars arrive for a film premiere. Your first attempt might go something like this:<\/span>
\nThe paparazzi and film crews were set in action. The leading actress stepped out of the limousine. The golden dress sparkled. It was stunningly styled with jewels. The jewelry the actress wore was even more beautiful than her dress. The second actress looked beautiful on the red carpet. Her apparel was simply divine. She twirled her sheer pink silk dress for the cameras. It had white ruffles. The lead actor from this film arrived. He was dressed is a snappy designer suit. His dark sunglasses glistened in the sparkling sunset. This set the tone for this star studded evening. <\/span>
\n\"Boost
\nWhile the sights on the red carpet were stunning, the written description here needs a little work. It is choppy and each sentence stands as an island on its own. What it is lacking are transition words that link two or more ideas together in order to give the reader or listener important information about how those ideas relate to each other. Let\u2019s try this red carpet description again, this time using transition words:<\/span>
\nThe paparazzi and film crews were set in action <\/span>as<\/span><\/i> the leading actress stepped out of the limousine. The golden dress sparkled <\/span>since<\/span><\/i> it was stunningly styled with jewels. <\/span>However<\/span><\/i>, the jewelry the actress wore was even more beautiful than her dress. The second actress looked beautiful on the red carpet <\/span>because<\/span><\/i> her apparel was simply divine. <\/span>Just after<\/span><\/i> she twirled her sheer pink silk dress with white ruffles for the cameras, the lead actor arrived dressed in a snappy designer suit. His dark sunglasses glistened in the sparkling sunset, <\/span>which <\/span><\/i>set the stone for this star studded evening. <\/span>
\nThe italicized words are transition words. They connect the ideas. In fact, they are called les connecteurs in French. In this example you can see that the second description flows better and is more coherent or easier to understand. Using transition words in French will help listeners or readers to better understand what you are trying to say. Learning transition words will enhance your speech<\/a> in French as well as your reading comprehension<\/a>. This article will teach you a few introductory French transition words and give examples of how to use them. <\/span><\/p>\n

Adding Emphasis and Connecting Your Ideas<\/b><\/h2>\n

There are many French transition words that allow you to add emphasis and strengthen the point you are making. Here are a few examples:<\/span><\/p>\n

Ainsi que – as well as<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00c9galement – equally<\/strong><\/p>\n

Et puis – and finally<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is an example in a sentence:<\/span>
\nSi le film a beaucoup de publicit\u00e9 ainsi que les bonnes critiques, il r\u00e9ussira. <\/strong>
\nIf the film has a lot of publicity as well as good reviews, it will succeed.<\/strong>
\n
\n\"Learn<\/a><\/p>\n

Cause and Effect<\/b><\/h2>\n

These transition words allow you to elaborate on a point by discussing reasons why or how something happens. Here are a few examples:<\/span><\/p>\n

Ainsi – in this way\/ thus<\/strong>
\nAlors – therefore<\/strong><\/p>\n

Car – because\/ as<\/strong><\/p>\n

Donc – therefore\/ so then<\/strong><\/p>\n

En raison de – because of<\/strong><\/p>\n

Parce que – Because<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is an example of a cause and effect transition word in a sentence:<\/span>
\nLe film est tr\u00e8s magnifique parce que le directeur a fait beaucoup d\u2019attention aux d\u00e9tails. <\/strong>
\nThe film is so wonderful because the director paid attention to detail. <\/strong>
\n\"Boost<\/p>\n

Transition Words that Compare and Contrast<\/b><\/h2>\n

You can use French transition words to compare and contrast two similar or opposite things. The following are examples of comparative and contrasting transition words:<\/span><\/p>\n

Comme – as\/ like\/ as well as<\/strong><\/p>\n

Semblablement –\u00a0<\/strong>similar<\/b><\/p>\n

Alors que – while\/ when\/ even though<\/strong><\/p>\n

Au lieu de – instead of<\/strong><\/p>\n

Malgr\u00e9 – despite\/ in spite of<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tandis que – whereas\/ while\/ when<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is an example using a transition word to contrast two roles in a film:<\/span>
\nIl a un r\u00f4le s\u00e9rieux dans le film, alors qu\u2019elle a un r\u00f4le comique. <\/strong>
\nHe has a serious role in the film while she has a comedic role. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/a><\/h2>\n

Putting Your Ideas in Order<\/b><\/h2>\n

These transition words show the sequence things happen in. They will inform the reader or listener what order things happened in. <\/span><\/p>\n

D\u2019abord – first<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deuxi\u00e8me – second<\/strong><\/p>\n

Troisi\u00e8me – third <\/strong><\/p>\n

Puis – then<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s – after<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plus tard – later<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dernier (masculine)\/ derni\u00e8re (feminine) – last<\/strong><\/p>\n

This example contains two transition words that put the events in order for the reader: <\/span>
\nD\u2019abord, les acteurs, les actrices et le directeur ont march\u00e9 sur le tapis rouge. Apr\u00e8s, ils ont regard\u00e9 le film dans le th\u00e9\u00e2tre. <\/strong>
\nFirst the actors, the actresses and the director walked the red carpet. After, they watched the film in the theatre. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Write Your Own Sentences with French Transition Words<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Try writing a paragraph that uses four or five transition words. You could try writing the paragraph first without transition words and then edit your writing by adding them in where appropriate. There are many more transition words in French than those listed in this article, so you can seek out the ones that best fit your writing. Try finding places in your writing that need a little more flow or where two ideas can be linked together nicely. <\/span>
\nConsider writing a journal article about a sequence of events that took place to use transition words to put the events in order. You could also write a comparative piece to use comparing and contrasting transition words. \u00a0<\/span>
\n\"Boost<\/p>\n

Enhance Your Comprehension and Conversation Skills<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Enfin (Finally), learning French transition words will ultimately help you to enhance your comprehension and conversation skills in the language<\/a>. They will make you sound more sophisticated and knowledgeable. <\/span>
\nUsing transition words in French will help to eliminate your use of short, choppy sentences that simply don\u2019t flow together well. Not to mention, you won\u2019t sounds like a robot because your sentences will be more fluid. Adding a few new transition words to your vocabulary in French will make all the difference in becoming proficient in the language.<\/span><\/p>\n
