Bratty Child Story
If confused think about arguing with a bratty child. You can list all of your points to try to sway them but will get “So” and some sass in response. It is usually easiest to cut to the chase and give them the direct point (conclusion) your making.
Thus
Conclusion
[X=Y]
Th
That is why
Conclusion
[X=Y]
T i w
For this reason
Conclusion
[X=Y]
F t r
Remember “For this reason” entails the reasons or premises given directly before it. Those reasons support what they are about to say making that statement a conclusion.
Accordingly
Conclusion
[X=Y]
Acc
Conclude that
Conclusion
[X=Y]
C t
Hence
Conclusion
[X=Y]
H
Obviously
Conclusion
[X=Y]
Snape’s conclusion
It is clear
Conclusion
[X=Y]
i i c
Why is it clear? Well anything said above that as a supporting reason.
This proves that
Conclusion
[X=Y]
T p t
And so
Conclusion
[X=Y]
A s
For
Statement introduces premise but contains the conclusion.
F
Because
Introduces premise but statement contains the conclusion.
B
From the fact that
