Conjunctive adverbs are not true conjunctions, but these adverbs often function as conjunctions in joining two independent clauses.

They serve as transitional devices between one main thought and another.

Common Conjunctive Adverbs: Accordingly, Accordingly, Afterwards, Also, Consequently, However, Indeed, Likewise, Moreover, Nevertheless, Nonetheless, Otherwise, Similarly, So, Still, Therefore.

NOTE: Because conjunctive adverbs are not true conjunctions, a semicolon is required when connecting two independent clauses.
