How it's used
Functions as a versatile connector to introduce an extra factor or item to a situation. Unlike formal written conjunctions, it feels natural in casual conversation when you are building a list of points or reasons. It often appears at the beginning of a clause to signal that the speaker is piling on more information.
Examples
In addition to his opinion, the whole thing is perfect.
