As mentioned in previous posts, when getting to grips with a new language, repetition is the key. Some words in English can get used a little too often, making the speaker sound flat or monotonous. This is very typical of the word "and". You can improve your speech with a few alternatives and this can help maintain engagement with listeners.
"And" is typically used to connect two sentences with related ideas (conjunction).
And it can be used to introduce new ideas or act in a list (this and that and the other).
Some examples:-
"The boy laughed and jumped out of the tree."
"The wallpaper was red and black."
"I love you more and more every day"
Alternative ideas:-
Instead of using "and", consider whether you can use one of the alternatives below?
together with
along with
with
as well as
in addition to
including
also
too
besides
further more
moreover
plus
what’s more
