Spoonful #41: Transitions that SIGNAL CONCLUSIONS

All good things must come to an end: 2019, a plate of brownies, and my transitions miniseries! To fittingly finish my miniseries, here are TRANSITIONS THAT SIGNAL CONCLUSIONS. 

Here's the list (cue the drum roll): in conclusion, to conclude, in summary, to summarize, to sum up, thus, then, to wrap up, wrapping up, that's a wrap, to top it off, the icing (on the cake), finally, ultimately, in closing

SENTENCE EXAMPLES:
  • After much deliberation, the committee was ultimately forced to compromise before the deadline. 

  • School now starts earlier and ends later, so students have to get up earlier and miss some after school activities. To summarize, it’s no wonder students and parents are upset!

  • "That's a wrap!" the director called after the cast and crew finally managed to get the scene right. 

  • The lead actor slipped on the stage, causing a chain reaction of falling actors. To top it off, the curtain wouldn't stay open. 

  • To conclude my post, I wish one and all a very happy holiday!!

Stay warm and safe this holiday season, and remember to treat yourself as well as others. Your readership means the world to me, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. 

Sincerely,
Laura Fineberg Cooper

    Swallowing too many grammar rules at once can be hazardous to one's health. That's why my goal is to deliver one spoonful at a time - in the most delightful way.
