I find that my students are using a lot of these phrases at the beginning of their sentences: - First... - First of all... - To begin with... - All in all... - The other reason is that... - Above all... - At last but not least... - Taking all the reasons and examples into consideration... - In a word... Do these phrases have a common name? Is there a special term for such phrases when they do not add any meaning to the sentence they are added to?
