Link words are used to join or link two clauses together. so so ... that such ... that although though even though despite in spite of because as since for (formal) so that in case so as (not) to Examples: I’d always wanted to go to the US, so I said “yes” immediately when my uncle invited me to go with him. The clause I said “yes” immediately is linked to the clause I’d always wanted to go to the US by the link word so . What happens in the second clause is the result of the first. Link words expressing result: Examples: Liam couldn’t hear me, so I kicked him and we almost fell off the bike. Stanley liked the idea so much that he gave them some land on his ranch. The Ranch is such an icon of Americana that you feel part of this country’s history. Link words expressing cause: They had to move Cadillac Ranch two miles down the road since the city limits were threatening the old site. They drove the cars into the ground with the tail fins in the air, for they believed the fins symbolised modern America. Link words expressing purpose: Examples: They built it because they wanted to pay tribute to America’s best automobile company – Cadillac. They took the idea to Stanley March as they needed someone to sponsor the project. Examples: I shouted to Liam so that he would slow down. And also remind them to take a can of spray paint in case they want to leave their names behind. They designed the monument so as to draw attention to the fins of the cars. Link words expressing contrast and concession: Examples: Although Cadillac Ranch is one of those places you’ve seen in loads of photos, we had no idea it was on our journey. Despite their being considered classics today, back in the 70s you could buy these cars really cheaply. Many tourists visit Cadillac Ranch, even though Route 66 is now no longer shown on maps. 116 Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
