Connecting Two Sentences You can use a transition and comma to tell the reader the logical relationship between two sentences.

Marcos is very athletic. he plays three sports at school.In fact, Marcos is very athletic. In fact, he plays three sports at school.

Placement of Transition Rather than placing the transition at the beginning of the second sentence, you may place it in the middle of the second sentence after the subject with two commas.

Marcos is very athletic. He, in fact, plays three sports at school.subjecttransition
