Linkers are the pieces of text that connect one section to another. They can be used to provide context or lead in a new topic.
There are three types of linkers:
- Context Linkers: These linkers provide the reader with a quick overview of the topic and how it relates to the rest of the essay.
- Lead-In Linkers: These linkers introduce a new topic without giving too much detail, allowing readers to get an understanding of what is coming up next.
- Connecting Linkers: These linkers connect two different sections together and show how they are related or how they influence each other.
