Smooth Connections: English Grammar Worksheet on Cohesive Devices for Class 7 

This Grade 7 worksheet focuses on Cohesive Devices — the connectors that link ideas smoothly within writing. Students learn to use linking words such as therefore, however, moreover, in addition, firstly, and as a result to create logical, well-structured sentences and paragraphs. With a combination of fill-in-the-blanks, true/false checks, multiple-choice questions, sentence rewriting, and paragraph writing, this worksheet builds strong writing fluency and coherence skills.

1. Join sentences and paragraphs meaningfully.

4. Write essays, reports, and stories with clarity and smooth transitions.
