### In the lessons

In writing, maths and science reasoning, «consequently» links a cause with its result, like «so» or «therefore»; teachers count it as a good «connective» or «conjunctive adverb» in written work. It is formal and common in exam and report language. Phrases: «and consequently», «; consequently,».

### Note

Formal; in speech people usually say «so». It often comes after a semicolon or a full stop and is followed by a comma. Do not confuse with «subsequently», which means «later, after that» (about time, not cause). The noun is «consequence» (a result). In maths reasoning, «consequently» marks the step that follows from the one before.
