A quick definition of therefore:
Term: Therefore
Definition: Therefore means that something is true or should happen because of something else. For example, if there aren't enough people at a meeting, therefore no vote can be taken. It can also mean that someone does something for a specific reason, like applying for a program to become a tax lawyer. Therefore is another way of saying "because of that" or "for that reason."
A more thorough explanation:
THEREFORE
Therefore, adverb, means for that reason or to that end.
- For that reason: If a quorum was not present, therefore, no vote was taken.
- To that end: She wanted to become a tax lawyer, and therefore applied for the university's renowned LL.M. program in taxation.
Example: John forgot his homework, therefore he received a zero on the assignment.
The word therefore is used to show a conclusion or result based on a previous statement or action. In the first example, the lack of a quorum led to the decision not to take a vote. In the second example, the desire to become a tax lawyer led to the decision to apply for a specific program. In the additional example, John's forgetfulness resulted in a zero on his assignment.
