could u please give me some french transition words along with their english meaning. like for example, for instance, moreover, but, nontheless, however etc
Thanks
I haven't done that since Level V when we were concentrating on compositions! Somewhere I have lists in English, Spanish and French. Would you rather have them alphabetized in English or in French? When I put it together, it will be a long list that should cover just about everything! (I tend to "over kill" with lists and one of my students made me a "crown" saying "ditto queen!" Now, that will date it! Later they changed it to "Xerox Queen."

P.S. Since I didn't hear from you, I'm alphabetizing the English. Later, it will be possible to alphabetize the French, if you prefer. But I had to begin with something.
