Best Answer

The word therefore presents a deduction, conclusion, or causal relationship. The most famous example is "I think therefore I am". You might prefer something simple like "The brakes do not work, and therefore the car is unsafe to drive."

When therefore is used as a transition to connect two clauses, either a comma or a semi-colon proceeds it. A comma may or may not be used when therefore begins a sentence (transition word).

Examples:

"The shorter climb was untested and therefore dangerous."

"I haven't eaten in days, and therefore I am starving."

(I haven't eaten in days; therefore I am starving.)

"Therefore, having built the apparatus, we felt best qualified to operate it."

How do you use the word I therefore?

You use it to show the effect of causes. EX: I laughed at the funeral therefore I was kicked out. The easiest way to figure if it's the right word is to replace it with "for that reason" EX: I laughed at the funeral and for that reason I was kicked out. The use of the word therefore will make you seem pompous though so try to not use it unless your paper fits that demographic.


How do you use therefore and in addition in a sentence?

You should use 'therefore' when you are writing a conclusion to something you are describing. So.. you may state one or more facts about a subject and then start a sentence after the facts with: 'Therefore, this means...' or 'Therefore, the conclusion to this debate is...' When you use 'in addition' you are basically saying 'as well as this...' So you could put... 'In addition to these facts...' Sorry if you don't understand this! Hopefully someone will improve the answer. (:
