    • A2 style: The police found a body, so they arrested a man.
    • B2 style: As a result of this operation, one person was arrested.
  2. "Consequently" \rightarrow A formal way to say 'therefore' or 'because of this'.

    • A2 style: He was hurt, so the police arrested a 22-year-old.
    • B2 style: Consequently, a 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder.
