12 Types of Transition with 112 Examples

Why Transitions are Important…

Transitioning from one sentence or paragraph to another is the bread and butter of all successful writers, especially those who write non-fiction.
With a great transition, the readers are able to understand the succession of complex ideas as well as the general context of the points made.

Smooth Transitions Create a Better User Experience

When the readers understand the transitions better, they retain what they’ve learned longer as well. To use a phrase frequently used in the software industry, good transitions create a “better user experience.” There’s no doubt about that.

Bad and Disconnected Transitions Confuse and Frustrate the Readers

Sentences and paragraphs thrown together without smooth and well-planned transitions do not read well. They appear disconnected. Readers have a hard time understand such a haphazard collection of paragraphs that are not stitched together with logical transitions. What they do not understand well, they don’t retain for long either.

As a result, prose and essays without good transitions automatically lead to a “poor user experience.
