Are con­junc­tions like “and” al­lowed be­fore a tran­si­tion word?

In this sen­tence, is it gram­mat­i­cally cor­rect to use and

Is it true that tran­si­tional words are al­ways writ­ten af­ter a

    Hi, Sandeep. The gist of your question seems to be whether a compound sentence can include a conjunction (such as and) immediately followed by a "transitional word" (such as therefore). The answer is that it can. For punctuation clarity, though, it would be more logical to position the comma after deadline in your example sentence (where it marks the division between independent clauses) than after consequently (where it marks the end of the introduction to the sentence's second main clause). Or you could use three commas instead of one: "... deadline, and, consequently, ..."

    @SvenYargs Or you could use a full stop (after "deadline") and miss out the "and". Or, further possibility, you could begin the second sentence with "And consequently…"

  • @tchrist I am new to writing, and I have read that there should be semicolon or period before a transition word, but I was confused whether other possibilities like I asserted in my question is correct.

  • @tchrist Aww bru, I understood your response. I didn't see any examples like I mentioned on the blogs and articles. There were always either a period or semicolon before these words. As a result, I was confused about this restriction. I should've understood that there remains two independent clauses after removing "and", and we can unite independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction.
