3. Introduction
The use of linkers or connectors in English is very
important. Despite of that, many people have difficulties
in using them. When they have to complete a text with
connectors, they do not know when do they have to use
each one of them. What is more, it is not only a difficulty
for people who is just starting to learn English, but also
