French: Words to use to connect sentences

*bookmarks topic for preparative work for next French exam :S*

Nice list, though I knew many of these (*pats self on shoulder*), there are some nice new ones - and with my luck to write bad marks in French exams even though using good vocabulary, I will hopefully make good use of the recent "french-related" threads by Tim - thanks for that :S
