Formal connectors

Connectors like 그러나, 따라서, and 한편 help organize longer Korean explanation and argument more clearly.

Examples

KoreanTranslation
글은 짧아요. 그러나 핵심은 분명해요。Geureun jjalayo. Geureona haeksimeun bunmyeonghaeyo.

The text is short. However, the main point is clear.

따라서 다른 방법이 필요합니다。Ttaraseo dareun bangbeobi piryohamnida.

Therefore, a different method is necessary.

한편 비용도 생각해야 해요。Hanpyeon biyongdo saenggakhaeya haeyo.

Meanwhile, we also have to think about cost.

Pattern

connector + clause

How it works

Connectors like 그러나, 따라서, and 한편 help organize longer Korean explanation and argument more clearly. This pattern typically appears as connector + clause and becomes easier when you meet it again in short, readable examples.

What to notice

  • Use connectors for real logical work, not decoration.
  • These items are especially common in essays, reviews, and formal commentary.

Why it matters

Structure longer explanation and argument more cleanly.

Use in context

At B2, cohesion becomes part of grammar because stronger writing depends on visible logical structure.
