How it's used
Functions as a formal transition word used to add extra information to a previous statement. It is significantly more common in written reports, news, or structured presentations than in casual daily chatter. When speaking informally, native speakers usually prefer using 仲有 or 另外.
Examples

The salary for this job is not bad, and moreover, there are many benefits.

Common mistake
Avoid using this in casual conversation with friends, as it sounds overly stiff and academic. Using it in a relaxed setting can make you sound like you are reading from a news script.
