Juxtaposition, progression, and transition are three common sentence relationships, and mastering them can help us better express our thoughts.

Select Relationship: Indicates that only one of two or more situations can be selected.
Conditional relationship: indicates that the realization of the next clause is conditional on the realization of the first clause.
