2014年1月25日 · Thereby and Therefore have different meanings. Explanation. Thereby : It means as a result of an action. For instance, let's say there is a sentence like, Regular exercises make us more fit, thereby keeping us more active.

2015年10月25日 · Therefore is defined in [Merriam-Webster] as: [Adverb] for that reason : because of that. Therefore, it is not a conjunction which doesn't require a coordinate conjunction such as "and", "but", etc. In otherwords, you need to use a conjunction or semi-colon before therefore to complete a sentence.

Conjunctive adverbs are words such as “however,” “therefore,” and “indeed,” and they "usually show cause and effect, sequence, contrast, comparison, or other relationships" (1). For example, “I have a big test tomorrow; therefore, I can't go out tonight.” (The comma after the conjunctive adverb is optional.)

2015年1月18日 · Therefore - (adverb) "because of that", "for that reason". Not a word I would use in ordinary conversation, but very useful in the written language.

2014年12月11日 · wherefore, therefore; As you see, those are all location or direction words, with the wh-ones alone useable as the start of a question. Wherefore connects to the past and therefore to the future. Wherefore therefore means “why” or “which is why”; sometimes it means “and so”. For example, from this ELU answer:

He is strong, and therefore a likely candidate. However strong he is, he is not a likely candidate. And so on. As for subordinate clauses, where the words function as subordinating conjunctions, the comma isn't always necessary either. He is strong, therefore he must be a likely candidate. Still, I would use one with however in that case:

2011年1月8日 · Therefore is an adverb, as well as hence and thus, although used in this similar manner they are conjunctive because they denote causal relation between the two clauses in your statement. Both of your examples above are acceptable, but there should be a semicolon in your first therefore example: I was tired; therefore, I fell asleep.

2015年1月6日 · Therefore and therefor are completely different words. Therefor, an archaic word, means "for this", "for that", or "for it". E.g;... ordering goods and enclosing payment therefor.

2015年2月11日 · Your question was about the scale of formality. Of these words I think it goes 1) therefore, 2) thus, 3) hence (from informal to formal).
