Hi, I have learned that you can either say "the reason that" or "the reason why" when you want to explain the reason. For example The reason (that/why) I couldn't go was (because) I was sick. In my understanding, you can use either "that" or "why". (You can also say it without them.) You... When 'too' precedes an adjective or anything like an adjective ('in transition' in your case), it cannot mean 'also'. 'Also' cannot mean 'excessively', so you can say I also am sad. I am also sad. I am sad also. The second is probably the most common. First of all, I'd like to point out that the use of "kind of weird" and "kind of did a transition" is more than "kind of" colloquial and wouldn't be used in formal writing or speech. And in the example of "kind of did a transition" the speaker is referring to his father's retiring and his purchase of the clinic as somewhat of a transition for ...

And since streets are connected and continue one another, and you transition from one to the next by (logically) crossing some virtual line and not by being, say, lifted up in the air, horizontally repositioned and then put down onto the new street, then you really switch to another street by going into it, not onto it. Good Evening becoming good night, well it's quite sketchy. It's like in Spanish, I never know exactly when to use Buenas Tardes and Buenas Noches. I'd say the transition is probably comparable. I think really, the transition between the latter two can take place at any point between 9-12pm. The verb learn has the sense of change or transition. The learner gains a skill or knowledge which he didn't have before. The sentence I've learnt English picks up on two meanings of the present perfective: an event at an indefinite. Hello, Just want to make sure kinder means kind of in this African American Vernacular poem So, boy, don’t you turn back. Don’t you set down on the steps ‘Cause you finds it kinder hard.

Source: Mother to Son by Langston Hughes In a different context, I might have suggested "stare as if into an abyss" for a person who had lost all hope. However, that doesn't really fit here because of the quick transition from laughter to despair. I'm not even sure it's possible to go directly from one to the other; it would seem a person had to enter a state of stupor first, in which ...
