Certain expressions are used to make the writing logical and more interesting. In your journey as a learner, you may have already encountered lessons on grammatical signals. The activity above served as a motivation to determine your knowledge about these expressions. In this lesson, we are going to focus only in developing ideas following the general-to particular pattern using grammatical signals or expressions.
What are Grammatical Signals or Expressions?
Grammatical signals or expressions are writing devices that serve to maintain text coherence or unity of ideas. They signal relationship between sentences. They can be words or phrases that connect ideas of sentences and paragraphs for coherence. They also indicate building up new idea or thought or compare ideas or draw conclusions.

CONCEPT NOTE
What is general–to–particular pattern?
It is a method of writing a composition that discusses the broad topic using specific details that support the topic. It is a pattern of developing ideas that begins with a general idea or statement. This is followed by specific details to support and explain the general idea. We use grammatical signals or expressions to connect the general idea or statement and the specific details.
Here are some of the grammatical signals that are used to express ideas from general to particular:
for example namely in fact such as for instance like in other words that is indeed specifically in particular including
Study the following sentences:
A. I can play quite a few musical instruments.
B. I can play quite a few musical instruments, such as the flute, the guitar, and the piano.
Notice that both sentences have the same idea. However, we can say that the second sentence is more specific than the first sentence. This is because the second sentence contains supporting details and uses the grammatical signal such as to connect the general idea <I can play quite a few musical instruments= with the supporting details <the flute, the guitar, and the piano.=
When communicating nonverbally with others, we often use facial expressions, which are subtle signals of the larger communication process. A simple smile can indicate our approval of a message, while a scowl might signal displeasure or disagreement. Understanding facial expressions and their meaning is an important part of communication.
