Otherwise / Likewise

Otherwise is a word describing what will happen if the prior statement doesn't happen or isn't true.

Example:

#1) I need to find a job this month. Otherwise, I will run out of money and have to live on the streets.
#2) You have to tell the truth. Otherwise, your conscience will never let you rest.
#3) I believe my girlfriend has been honest with me. Otherwise, I can never trust anybody again.
#4) Eat all of your vegetables. Otherwise, you won't get dessert.
#5) Say you're sorry. Otherwise, you have to find a new best friend.


Likewise restates a truth that applies to another thing or another person's perspective.

Example:

#1) "Nice to meet you." ~ "Likewise."
#2) Mariam is very good at her job. Likewise, Patricia is talented in this job and has years of experience.
#3) Paris has many toursits. Likewise, many people come to Istanbul to visit.
