Connecting Ideas: And, But, Or, So, Because

Connectors join words, phrases, or sentences. And (addition): I like English and Maths. But (contrast): I like football but not tennis. Or (alternative): Do you want tea or coffee? So (result): I was tired so I went to bed. Because (reason): I stayed home because it was raining. Order: first, then, next, after that, finally. More connectors: also, too, as well (addition), however (contrast), therefore (result). A paragraph without connectors sounds unnatural.
