Transitions : Moreover, Furthermore, In addition, Therefore, Consequently.

Transitions connect the ideas between two sentences.

English transition words are essential, since they not only connect ideas, but also can introduce a certain shift, contrast or opposition, emphasis or agreement, purpose, result or conclusion, etc. in the line of argument.
The transition words and phrases have been assigned only once to somewhat artificial categories, although some words belong to more than one category.



In this section, we focus in transitions; Moreover, Furthermore, In addition, Therefore, and Consequently. But, as a knowledge, we also have to know what are the transition words. The following lists are the lists of transition words.









Based on the lists, transition words moreover, furthermore, and in addition are included in agreement/addition/similiarity. So, we can say that moreover, furthermore, and in addition mean also.

While therefore and consequently are included in effect/consequence/result. So, we can say that therefore and consequently mean as a result.
  • Moreover, furthermore, and in addition mean also.
  • Therefore and consequently mean as a result.
Examples :
1. Mrs. Mawar is friendly. Moreover, she is helpful. Therefore, almost all her neighbors like her.
2. The contest requires an enrollment fee. In addition, the prizes are not so interesting. Consequently, there are just a few participants.
3. The computer is old. Furthermore, Angga doesn't take care of it. Therefore, it is broken now.


My problem : 
In Transitions : Moreover, Furthermore, In addition, Therefore, Consequently, how we can know the sentence that as a result or mean also ?
Examples :
- I like reading in the public library. The place is comfortable. It is free to borrow the books.
- We should not eat fast food every day. It is expensive and can make us fat.
- Not many people are interested in watching the drama. The committee canceled it.

And then, is there more word except moreover, furthermore, in addition, therefore, and consequently ? Please answer it for me.
