Le locuzioni (gli intercalari) = Transition words & useful filler words

Transition words prevent our writing from sounding stilted or choppy. They sew our paragraphs together, making our writing flow better, connecting one idea to the next. If you commit this list of transition words to memory, the next time you write, you'll be able to weave your sentences together smoothly.
