conjunes, so termos utilizados para ligar oraes e idias,
indicando como elas se relacionam, ou seja, eles servem para
mostrar uma relao de tempo, causa, adio, contraste, entre

ligao, os autores mostram com maior clareza a organizao de suas
idias. Elas constituem, portanto, importante recurso de coeso

however (entretanto), pode inferir o significado de wealthy na frase
abaixo:
He is very poor. However, his brother is wealthy.
