Paraphrasing
Hi beloved teachers,
I read that one of the meanings/usages of "and" is: when one thing causes another.
For example:
The government lied to us in the past and now no one will believe them.
If so, can we say the above sentence in the following ways?
(The government lied to us in the past; consequently, no one will believe them).
(The government lied to us in the past; therefore, no one will believe them).
(The government lied to us in the past; as a result, no one will believe them).
(The government lied to us in the past; as a consequence, no one will believe them).
I guess, the four sentences above mean the same thing, don't they?
Thank you teaches
