About Linking Words

Last lesson I studied about Linking Words, which are words make connection between sentences.
There are many Linking Words and they have each functions.
I divided it into four types:

•  to link arguments for and against
•  to give more reasons for tour argument
•  to explain the consequences of something 
•  to compare two different situations.

In my opinion it is very important to use Linking Words to make sentence smoth.

In this website, I can find a way to use that tense. There are two cases of the way to use it and some examples of it. Now I totally understand it.

Intonation in a phrase.

We studied about how intonation works in a phrase. I wasn't here yesterday, but Max told me about the intonation.
Intonation is the way to express to others whether the sentence is ending or continuing.
When the voice goes up, the talking will continue. On the contrary when the voice goes down, the talking will end.

This is the example of the intonation in song.

What you did (voice goes up)
As long as you love me. (voice goes down)
