Essential Connecting Phrases

Want to make your French essays flow like a native speaker's? These connecting phrases are your secret weapon for linking ideas smoothly and professionally.

À la suite de (as a result of) and grâce à (thanks to) help you show cause and effect relationships clearly. Meanwhile, qui plus est (what's more) lets you add extra information without sounding repetitive. These phrases work brilliantly in both written assignments and oral presentations.

When you need to acknowledge facts whilst building your argument, try c'est vrai que (it's true that) or il va sans dire que (it goes without saying that). Malgré le fait (despite the fact) is perfect for showing contrast between ideas.

Quick Tip: Use toute réflexion faite (when all is said and done) to introduce your final thoughts in conclusions - it sounds incredibly sophisticated!

Dans l'ensemble (on the whole) and actuellement (currently) help you discuss general situations or present-day issues. Remember that il s'agit de $it's about/it has to do with$ is incredibly versatile for explaining what something concerns.

Opinion and Analysis Phrases

These opinion phrases will make you sound like a proper French intellectual when analysing topics or expressing your viewpoint in essays and discussions.

Start strong with à vrai dire (to tell the truth) or selon moi (according to me) to introduce your personal perspective. Je trouve que (I find that) and je pense que (I think that) are softer ways to share opinions without sounding too forceful.

For academic writing, il est important de (it is important to) and l'essentiel est de (the essential thing is to) help you highlight key points effectively. On ne peut pas nier (one can't deny) and on ne peut pas sous-estimer (we can't underestimate) add weight to your arguments.

Pro Move: Use je me demande si (I wonder if) to pose rhetorical questions that engage your reader or listener.

En ce qui concerne (as far as... is concerned) is brilliant for introducing new topics, whilst il est à noter que (it's noteworthy that) helps you highlight important details. Des sondages montrent que (surveys show that) adds credibility when you're citing evidence or statistics.
