Consequently vs Subsequently
Two formal-sounding adverbs that trip up writers, consequently and subsequently get clearer over these 10 questions.
You match the right adverb to sentences like Mosquitoes like blue the most; ___, don't wear that color around them. or After giving the stellar speech, Mario ___ became a popular speaker.
Here is the difference that is easy to miss: consequently signals cause and effect, meaning as a result, while subsequently just means afterward in time, with no claim that one thing caused the other.
Recommended level: intermediate to advanced.
