Summary
Highlights
Introduces the two fundamental concepts: cohesion, which acts as the 'glue' connecting sentences using grammar and vocabulary, and coherence, which provides the overall logic and thematic organization of a text.
Explains grammatical tools used to achieve cohesion, including conjunctions for relationships, reference words like pronouns, repetition, synonyms, and ellipsis or substitution to avoid redundancy.
Discusses how to maintain coherence through logical ordering, such as chronological sequence, maintaining verb tense consistency, and ensuring all sentences support a single main topic.
Provides examples of writing with and without these elements, while offering practical advice for writers to read their work aloud and check for clarity and logical flow during the revision process.
