Rule reminder

Italian connectives (connettivi testuali) signal the logical relationship between clauses and sentences. Major categories: (1) Additive: inoltre, anche, in aggiunta; (2) Adversative: tuttavia, però, eppure, nonostante; (3) Causal: poiché, dato che, perché; (4) Consecutive: quindi, pertanto, di conseguenza; (5) Concessive: sebbene, benché, anche se; (6) Reformulative: cioè, ossia, in altre parole. Each signals a distinct logical move.
