The purpose of transition words and phrases is primarily **to signal to readers that the time or location is changing** and to help establish relationships between ideas, events, or sections of text. Transition words can also indicate the order of events, contrast ideas, provide examples, and clarify relationships among points, helping to improve the flow and coherence of writing. While they can be used to signal changes in time or location, they also serve broader functions in organizing and connecting thoughts.
