Captions available
The idea
Transitions should not crowd a paragraph. Single-word transitions work best at real shifts, and repeated or obvious ones make writing mechanical.
In practice
"Also, the park is clean. Additionally, it is safe. Furthermore, it is quiet" signals three times what one also could carry.
Where people slip
Where the relationship is already plain, the best transition can be none.
