understand how text connectives, including temporal and conditional words, and topic word associations, are used to sequence and connect ideas

• recognising how authors construct texts that are cohesive and coherent using pronouns that link to something previously mentioned and determiners (for example, ‘this’, ‘that’, ‘these’ and ‘those’) to identify things
• recognising how authors use text connectives to create links between sentences, for example ‘however’, ‘therefore’, ‘nevertheless’ and ‘in addition’
• recognising how text connectives link sections of a text, providing sequences through time, for example ‘firstly’, ‘then’, ‘next’ and ‘finally’
