WRITING - Advanced English Transitions: thereby, thereof, hereby, therein, wherein, whereby...

Good writing makes use of transition words, thereby creating better flow and adding some style to the text. In this lesson we'll look at some linking words and transitions used to connect ideas, such as: "thereby", "thereof", "hereby", "therein", "wherein", "whereby", and more. This will make your writing clear and organized. Watch the video to improve your writing style.
Now it's time for a lesson on some different transitions:

TRANSCRIPT
Hi again, everybody. Welcome to www.engvid.com. I'm Adam. In today's video we're going to look at transitions. Now, you may have seen some other videos on engVid about transitions, especially for writing. What we're going to look at today are a few more specific transitions, but this time we're not looking at transitions between paragraphs or even transitions between sentences. Okay? We're looking at transitions that we are generally using in a sentence to shift from one idea to another idea in a sentence. So they're very similar to, like, adverb... Adverb clauses, for example, but they're used in different ways. But, again, they do have their specific purposes. Now, you'll also notice that all of them or most of them start with: "there" plus a preposition, or "where" plus a preposition, and we have the one special one: "hereby". So: "Thereby", "Thereof", "Thereafter", "Therein", "Therefore", "Wherein", "Whereby", "Hereby", these are the words we're going to look at and how they're used within sentences.
Now, before I explain these to you and show them... Show you samples of how they're used, I want you to understand that these are generally very formal, very high-end. They're not very commonly used. There are other ways you can say these things without being too serious, I guess you could say. But if you're going to university, if you're going to take a test, IELTS, TOEFL, SAT, all these tests - you will see these and you should be able to use them as well. And if you can actually use them properly in your essays, and like, again, nicely, appropriately, good timing, your score... That'll help your score. It should go up quite a bit because these are not very easy to use.
So, we're going to start with "thereby". "Thereby" basically means by which, or through which, or like through this action something happened. It's a little bit similar to: "due to". The only problem is you can't use it in the same structure as "due to". Okay? So let's look at the first sentence. "The team lost the final game of the season, thereby missing the playoffs." So, basically by doing this, by losing the last game, the result... What happened? They missed the playoffs. But notice that we are using an "ing" here: "...thereby missing the playoffs", right? This is basically a gerund expression, a gerund phrase, but we can't use this with a clause. We're using it with an "ing". So that's one thing you have to keep in mind. If I wanted to use "due to", I would have to change the whole structure. "Due to their loss in the final game of the season, the team missed the playoffs." A completely different structure. I'm using the independent clause, here, the "due to" with the cause, etc. This one gives you another option, basically, on how to link the ideas. Cause, effect. But we don't have to use the "ing", we can use another way. "Lisa studied for three straight weeks and was thereby able to pass her test." So she studied, studied, studied, and through this action she was able to pass her test. And: "...and was thereby", "...and she was thereby able". Notice that I'm not using this to start the clause; I'm using it within the clause, between the verbs to show through this action, this was the result that she was looking for. Okay? So: "by which", "through which action".
Let's look at "therein". "The new contract does not allow for extended maternity leave;" here I'm using the semi-colon, I'm going to give you the next idea, so this is like a conjunction. "...therein lies the problem for the union, 60% of whose membership is young women". So, "therein" basically means in that, or into that situation, problem, position, state, etc. So, "therein". "Therein" means: In what? In this situation, in this new contract there's a problem. So: "...therein in this new contract lies a problem", and this is a very common follow-up to the transition "therein". "...therein lies the problem". A very famous expression: "...therein lies the rub" from Shakespeare. "Aye, there's the rub." I'm not sure if you know that expression, I think from Hamlet, dream to... If you dream and you can die, it's all good, but then: Oh, there's a problem - you don't wake up. So: "...therein lies the rub". A very common expression to use with "lies". […]

People underestimate grammar, thereby, getting low scores in writing. They should discover more about it, and find out wherein they messed up, but it seems that nobody cares, therein lies the problem. I hereby invite every person to start looking for his weeknesses. This video proved to be helpful, therefore, I highly recommend it :D

[@adelcharati1002]

You lost me at "thereby"

[@vegatroz]

perfect :D

[@hamidhussain8799]

I like the way you use transition words. Cool

[@silviodilkin5204]

You got the Adam's drift.......well done pal !!!

[@vincetarrosa]

Please also remember that if you use these highly formal-sounding words, you should also use other formal language. Expressions and words like "nobody", "messed up", and "cares" are informal, and thus do not fit well with these transitional words.

[@jorgeplatero3748]

I hereby declare Adam the best KZbin's english teacher!

[@alonso071]

Declare that

[@AlbertoLoredoDesigner]

@@alonso071 No, it isn't. Jorge's right.

Indeed, he's the one!

[@SajjadMoslehi]

True

[@dovieacevedo6366]

I was regret, because I didn't study hard in english during my school days it's difficult for me to write an essay without this kind of teacher, explaining very clear. Therefore, I am happy that you have been shared your knowledge, thereby able to learn.

[@kenmay5532]

Are you trolling 😅

[@cocohcool5383]

Hello Adam. The time and effort you squeezed-in to make English lesson videos on tube it's deeply appreciated. You are genius and your teaching is out of this world! Thanks a million, sir!

Hello Adam! You are teaching profound English grammar thereby leading your learners to the top, wherein lie some secrets of shortage and clear way to express many ideas. Thanks a lot! Congratulations!

[@mateoguerrero71]

You mean that I can take a shortcut instead of using these words in my writing , don´t you?

[@mwansamwenya4944]

Can I still study online course with engvid and get certification

[@silviodilkin5204]

Adam, you're the best. I have to thank you by your classes. You've been essential during my studies throughout the years. I don't know how to thank you enough !!!

[@pavlegmtak]

Thank you! Your videos help me even if I work other job and just listen it like any audio material while typing or preparing food. They are very comprehensible, and your diction sounds precise and accurate, easy and pleasant to listen.

The greatest teacher of all. Thank you Adam so much, your lessons are priceless.

[@joaoshenny]

Pleasant and clear lesson, as always keep'em coming Adam. You rock!

[@JessicaVeraBermudez]

Thanks Adam for caring about us, ESL learners. Your explanation was clear, thereby we can use those words correctly in our academic essays

[@mirensandoval6392]

These academic transitions are widely used and required on my school papers. The problem when you learn "classroom english" is that you sound too formal when having a conversation with native english speakers. That still being my problem. Now, I have to learn those slang words out there. Great video!

[@ibrahimhassan3145]

Thank you Mr, Adam I really appreciate your useful videos which are ALWAYS stimulating and relevant.

[@manardel3994]

This is exactly what I was looking for Thank you sir!!!! Please more videos for advanced learners💡💡💡💡💡💡💡

[@niurkacastillo4945]

Thanks for teaching me the meaning of the word "affidavit". You are the best teacher of the world.

[@nassermohammad4923]

Hello Adam , I just would say that thank you so much for the hard work you did. You have been so helpful for people who learn English in particular those who who study at a university. I, therefore, ask gently please to help us improving our writing since we struggle at the universities in the USA. Please, we want to see you as soon as possible with something very beneficial.Thanks a lot again, and I think we cannot thank you enough

[@jeanmichelcostantino8424]

Je suis ravie de voir et entendre que vous faites partie des gens qui font attention à ce que les français qui apprécient votre cour comprenne bien avec des combinaisons possibles a comprendre Merci

[@anee7163]

Thanks adam ☺ These transitions are absolutely latest for me. I always used to put " so and so "😋 everywhere. I am amazed hoe interesting these words are for being in used . And how worth full we feel by using these in our speaking or in writing. I must these are" smart transitions" ! ☺

[@yumi_1067]

Thank you so much for making this video. I'm currently preparing for my IELTS and is trying to improve my writing score (aiming for band 7.5). I've always struggled with conjunctions, so I'm really happy to find this video. These words are indeed quite difficult, but your excellent explanations make it easier to comprehend.

[@rv3248]

I would just like to thank and give my utmost respect to Adam! You have really helped me with your videos, as i learn a word or two/ phrases i execute them into my assignments and in my everyday conversations with my friends. If u were my educator, i would have definitely progressed with flying colors!

[@tarvinder91]

This lesson was amazing; therefore I learned so much. Thank you Adam for your great work and effective explanation of complex things. You made it look so easy!

[@scottykei5608]

Great lessons by Adam. Thank you so much!

[@GIobeCentral]

After bookmarking enough videos to give me veriety of choice for later use, I find myself more comfortable with learning the more difficult concepts, such as semi-colen ; ending the video at a difficult bit allows retrieval of that difficult bit more easier for me at a later date. I am happy with these videos, especially the level of explanation which makes the whole experience feel like a shared one; takes me back to happy night school lessons.

[@hassanabubakrsdiq1255]

The teacher in this video did a very good job thereby getting all the credit and was able to be understandable. the footage and all details therein; was very well explained by the excellent teacher. The lesson was so sophisticated, especially the words chosen thereof, and was pretty much informative, there is no reason, therefore, we should be confused. he elaborated on each part until we understood it, thereafter, It began simplifying. The video did not show wherein Mr. Adam had done anything wrong, whereby, all of us has benefitted. So given the above circumstances, I hereby declare the lesson was marvelous.

[@awaismaths]

I love your lectures especially the delivery and the coherence therein.

[@doctorajith981]

Adam, you are incredible man! Whenever I wanted to clarify my doubts, your video helped me a lot. Thank you, Adam.

[@dileepa1901]

Thank you very much Adam ... I've been struggling to reduce usage of "its" and "their" for about two months. However, fortunately with this lesson, I've found two alternatives (whereof and therein). Therefore, I can implement some sentences by using it in future writing.

[@spectralmonkey]

This man has something magic in his voice as well as being a very good teacher and communicator, don't you think so...?

[@abbaszakaria8655]

of course I have been following for months

[@shahzaibkiani9606]

Before coming to this platform, I was super reluctant about the use of conjunctive adverbs, thereby containing my prospects of thriving in this world of extraordinarily talented souls. Owing to the complexity of the subject and enormity of the diversified matter aforementioned, and all the obscurities therein, I was not finding the courage to wet my toes in the brutal coldness and rashness of the freezing cold pond of enigma and riddles. If I had subjected myself to deeper catharsis, I probably would've figured out the areas, wherein I was struggling to get over the concept of this "conjunctive adverb". The specified matter, aggravated further due to lack of activity from the side of mine,in the first place, and therein, in my view lied the problem. The older self focused on the shortcomings undermining the strengths, particularly focused on the negative aspects thereof, and failed to muster up the courage to genuinely pursue the destiny leading towards excellence. I, hereby solemnly declare that my lack of confidence in my abilities, had plummeted the possibility of exponential progression in the every possible aspect of life, and having said that, I'm looking forward to bury the older self of mine underneath the soil of forgiveness, and lay the foundation of new hope and life, by dribbling the seeds of optimism beneath the womb of grassy land...

[@alkaamin660]

Thanks for this lesson. Difficult but, I will try to work on it.

[@mujtaba_voice5140]

That's exactly i was looking for my legal writing...... you are truly a great teacher .......
