Conclusion / Premise ID: Conjunction Words

What is the primary difference between __conclusion conjunction__ words and __reason conjunction__ words?

Incorrect. Conjunctions connect words and phrases. They do not tell you who or what the subject is or what they are doing.

Incorrect. It is possible to find __conclusion conjunction__ words, such as _therefore_, _consequently_, _so_, _which means that_, and _it follows_, without finding any __reason conjunction__ words, such as _because_, _since_, and _as_.

Nicely done! While both types of conjunction words will help you to locate the __conclusions__ and __premises__ in a given argument, the primary difference between __conclusion conjunction__ and __reason conjunction__ words is that one comes before the __conclusion__ and the other arrives after. This is an important distinction to know so that you understand what causes what or how one thing leads to another in arguments.

__Conclusion conjunction__ words explain the subject of the sentence, while __reason conjunction__ words tell you what the subject is doing.

__Conclusion conjunction__ words cannot be identified without first identifying the __reason conjunction__ words.

__Conclusion conjunction__ words come before the conclusion, while __reason conjunction__ words come after the conclusion and before a premise.
