The word "MOREOVER" and "FURTHERMORE", I have a question about it. Only INTELLIGENT PEOPLE answer please.

Question

This might seem confusing, so I'll do my best to explain it correctly so that I can get an answer.

e.g.
1. thesis
2. support thesis with reason number one
3. support thesis with reason number two
4. support thesis with reason number three

For numbers 2, 3, and 4... here's the question I ask - is it okay to do the following:

2. I'd start off the sentence with the word "MOREOVER"
3. I'd start off the sentence with the word "ALSO"
4. I'd start off the sentence with the word "FURTHERMORE"

Would this be considered a good order?

I hope I explained this to a way others can understand.

Answer 1

In general, you don't want to introduce evidence in that manner. If you are talking about a general 5 paragraph format essay, and d 2,3,and 4 are the beginnings of the 3 body paragraphs, you definably don't want to use those. If you're working within the introduction, it should be fine.

I would as a general rule steer away from using all three. while I certainly don't know the details of your essay, it sounds like you're trying too hard to sound official. If you want to impress a teacher, use the content, not the vocabulary.

Answer 2

The words "moreover" and "furthermore" are both used to further clarify one's point. And there's no "standard" wording that one uses when it comes to up their point.

The KEY is to clearly write your thesis statement, which is the point you want to make, and then provide your backing / support of it in your body.

However, you would definitely not use words like "also," "moreover," or "furthermore" in the sentence immediately following your thesis--reason # 1. Why? Because these words are used only when you've got additional information to add. But they could be used to introduce reasons 2 and 3.

As I said, the most important thing to do is to logically prove your point by backing it up with solid reasoning.

Answer 3

Moreover adds strength to the initial information/argument and needs to be visibly related. Also and furthermore can be used to introduce different supporting fact or opinion.
Your plan basically looks good depending on the order of importance of the information you are going to give. Give the strongest or most important first.

Answer 4

Moreover means to repeat the point in a different manner.

Furthermore means to emphasize the point with additional information.

Answer 5

Yes, this would be appropriate. My Webster's dictionary defines both "moreover" and "furthermore" as "in addition to what has already been said".
