Yes, you can begin a sentence with the word ‘currently’.

adverb – Word

The two sentences are equally correct, and mean the same thing, but the emphasis is slightly different: are currently not… emphasizes “currently”, while …are not currently… emphasizes “not”.

When a term like “However,” “As a result,” or “Consequently” starts a sentence, it should be followed by a comma. (These terms are called conjunctive adverbs or “transitional phrases.”)

Consequently is a conjunctive adverb that means accordingly, therefore, or as a result: Chris failed the course and consequently was ineligible to graduate. The adverb subsequently means then, later, or next (following in time, order, or place): Lori graduated from college and subsequently moved to Springfield.

“Thus” is usually separated from the rest of the sentence by commas, but the commas are often omitted if this would lead to three commas in a row (as in the third example). The comma here was appropriate because what follows “thus” is not a clause. It is just a parenthetical expression extending the preceding clause.

1 : from this place : away. 2a archaic : henceforth. b : from this time four years hence. 3 : because of a preceding fact or premise : therefore.

As adverbs the difference between therefore and ergo is that therefore is (conjunctive) for that or this purpose, referring to something previously stated while ergo is consequently, therefore.

The adverb ergo is a fancy version of “therefore.” Use it as a connector between thoughts and sentences that logically follow. You were present during the robbery; ergo, you were called as a witness.

As for the basic meaning, yes, they’re completely interchangeable. On the more subjective question of style or tone, ergo, like many Latin words, may bring to mind scholarly, philosophical, or legal language.

Note that “ergo” is considered a conjunctive adverb, which is a fancy term for words that help you transition and connect different parts of your sentences together. “Ergo” means the exact same thing as “therefore,” and can be used at the beginning or in the middle of sentences.

~Ergo means therefore in latin. ~Launcelot uses high-sounding words in order to confuse his father and disguise his own identity.

Launcelot uses high-sounding words in his conversation with Gobbo to impress him that he possesses classical learning and is a gentleman. Shakespeare wants to convey to the audience that habit of some vain people of his time who pretended to be what were not.

Answer: Old Gobbo has brought a dish of dove in a basket as a present for the Jew. Launcelot informed his father (gobbo) that he just ran away from the Jew’s house (Shylock’s house) and also said his father to give the present to Bassanio. This scene takes place in Venice, a street.
