Annotation: Transitions are essential tools in writing that help guide readers through shifts in time or perspective within a text. They create a smooth flow between different ideas, events, or viewpoints, enhancing the overall coherence and clarity of the writing. Time transitions, such as "before," "after," and "meanwhile," indicate temporal relationships between events. Perspective transitions, like "on the other hand," "in contrast," and "similarly," highlight shifts in viewpoints or ideas. By strategically incorporating these transitions, writers can effectively signal changes in time or perspective, helping readers navigate the narrative smoothly and understand the connections between different parts of the text. Using transitions judiciously maintains coherence and engages the audience effectively.
