📝 The difference between coherence and cohesion in short 📝
1️⃣ Coherence present, cohesion absent
"I lost my key. I couldn't get home."
2️⃣ Coherence absent, cohesion present
"I lost my key. As a result, hedgehogs are cute."
3️⃣ Both are present
"I lost my key. As a result, I couldn't get home."
4️⃣ Neither is present
"I lost my key. Hedgehogs are cute."
Coherence is the logic -- it's not seen, but it's understood. Cohesion is the linguistic means to support the logic -- it's seen.
