1 Connective structures in the body connect different parts.
2 a word such as "and" or "before" that is used to connect other words or phrases:
A subordinate clause is a clause of a complex sentence, generally introduced by a connective, which cannot stand as a sentence on its own.
In this task, students read sentences that are missing a connective (e. g., in contrast, because, before) that links ideas between two sentences or two clauses.
Studies have shown that even three-year-olds are able to use causal connectives correctly.
By this age students should begin to use a wider range of sentence connectives in their writing than "and" and "then".
The two should not be mixed: introduction and elimination rules for a connective should rely solely on judgmental concepts and not on other connectives.
The increased stiffness of connective tissue confers protective strength on weakened muscles but the loss of elastic recoil decreases the efficiency of gait.
Well-formed formulae of the constraint sets are built from atomic formulae with the standard logical connectives and quantifiers.
For the prompt condition, linear trends were significant for all categories except negative qualifiers and causal connectives.
