Mike kept begging his parents for a cell phone. They agreed he could use his allowance to buy one.

Question

Which transition word or phrase would go at the beginning of the second sentence to show how the ideas are connected?

Answer 1

You could use the transition phrase "As a result" at the beginning of the second sentence to show the connection between Mike begging for the phone and his parents' agreement to let him buy one with his allowance.

The revised sentences would read:

Mike kept begging his parents for a cell phone. As a result, they agreed he could use his allowance to buy one.
