Don't have them

anonymous · Answer

Do you have a set of answers that go with the question because that could be helpful especially with this question because I could tell you a lot about "transitions" which are words that help a sentence shift from one subject to another and it helps signal relationships within a sentence. For example in the sentence about there is a relationship between the second and third sentence which you can replace the period with a comma and add the transition word "furthermore" or "additionally"
