そして

About

そして is a conjunction that connects two events. そして may come at the start of a sentence or between two clauses, following these patterns:

(Sentence 1)。そして(Sentence 2)。

(Clause 1)、そして(Clause 2)。

Unlike many other conjunctions, そして implies connectivity between the two events it links.

そして can also link together adjectives, creating a list that describes something's/someone's qualities. This follows the same structure as above, but does not imply connectivity, as there are no events to link. This usage is similar to the English "and".
