In addition, what is more, and similar additive links.
Why you specifically
The rule
Additive linkers connect one idea to another by adding information, evidence, or a further point. Common examples are in addition, moreover, furthermore, what is more, and besides. They usually come at the start of a new clause or sentence, and they need a complete clause after them. In formal writing, moreover and furthermore are common; in spoken or semi-formal English, in addition and besides are also frequent.
The trap
I finished the report, in addition I checked the numbers.
I finished the report, and in addition, I checked the numbers.
In addition is used to add a new point, but it should join two complete clauses naturally. The wrong sentence is missing a clear sentence structure after the connector.
The hotel is close to the station. What is more, very quiet.
The hotel is close to the station. What is more, the rooms are very quiet.
What is more introduces an extra supporting point. It must connect to a complete sentence, not stand alone as a fragment.
She speaks French. Moreover, learning German.
She speaks French. Moreover, she is learning German.
Moreover is a formal additive connector and is followed by a complete clause. It cannot be used to replace a clause by itself.
The ticket was expensive, and besides, the train late.
The ticket was expensive, and besides, the train was late.
Besides can add another reason or point, but it needs a full clause after it. The wrong sentence leaves the second idea incomplete.
