and in addition (to...) too
and then indeed what is more
besides next finally

besides naturally still
but nevertheless whereas
however of course while

conversely regardless despite
it may be the case granted it is true that
that like notwithstanding

also Alternatively
likewise
Enumeration
first(ly) secondly last on top of (that)
etc. to (begin) with next
finally more important then
in the (first) place
Concession
although it is true granted that of course
that naturally it may be the case
it may appear it is true that that
regardless I admit that
certainly
Exemplification
as (evidence of...) such as
for example to show what (I mean)

in all in short on the whole
in brief in conclusion to sum up
to summarise therefore basically

at first in the end then
at last meanwhile (up to) (then)
at (the same time) next later
while immediately somewhat earlier
first , second, next shortly
third... firstly , secondly, over the next (2
thereafter thirdly... days)
concurrently in the future as long as
soon subsequently last
as soon as at that time
Result
accordingly for that reason then
as a result hence therefore
consequently thus the ( consequence )
since if...then... of that is...
as a consequence ...result(s) in ... ...is due to...
