A conjunctive adverb is a type of adverb that connects independent clauses or sentences by showing the relationship between them. It is also known as an adverbial conjunction or subordinating adverb. Unlike coordinating conjunctions (such as "and" or "but"), conjunctive adverbs cannot link two independent clauses together on their own. Instead, they are used to transition and describe the relationship between clauses. Conjunctive adverbs can show a variety of relationships, with different words representing different types of connections. Some common uses of conjunctive adverbs include:

• To show contradictions: "however", "on the other hand"
• To continue the same point: "also", "furthermore"
• To show addition: "moreover", "in addition"
• To show contrast: "nevertheless", "conversely"
• To show time: "meanwhile", "then"
• To show result: "consequently", "therefore"

When a conjunctive adverb connects two independent clauses in one sentence, it is preceded by a semicolon and followed by a comma. Conjunctive adverbs can also appear in the middle of a sentence to add a function to the sentence depending on the context. Conjunctive adverbs are usually separated from the rest of the sentence by commas when they occur anywhere else in the sentence. Here is a list of some common conjunctive adverbs: "accordingly", "also", "anyway", "besides", "certainly", "consequently", "finally", "furthermore", "hence", "however", "in addition", "in fact", "incidentally", "indeed", "instead", "likewise", "meanwhile", "moreover", "nevertheless", "next", "nonetheless", "now", "otherwise", "rather", "similarly", "since", "still", "subsequently", "then", "thereby", "therefore", and "thus".
