This page lists 4 conjunctions that start with M, running from “Moreover” to “Much as”. They include conjunctive adverbs and a subordinating conjunction, and they help you add points, link events in time, or admit a concession. You can use them to make your writing and speaking flow more smoothly.
Conjunctions are words that join words, phrases, or whole clauses and show how the ideas connect. “Meanwhile” and “meantime” share a similar origin, since both build on the old sense of “mean” as “in the middle,” which fits their job of pointing to the time between events.
