What are some useful phrases to use an essay that demonstrate more complicated structures?

It's always great to have a few 'stock phrases' to put into an essay or an oral that are of a slightly higher register. It makes your writing much more fluent, and also gives you an opportunity to show off more complicated bits of grammar that you know. I find it's useful to bet able to use them as connectors between sentences, which is always hard to do in French in the first place. Here are a couple of phrases that use the subjunctive (a tense or 'mood') which show off a higher level of French and that I always find really helpful!Il faut qu'on reconnaisse que... --> we must recognise that...Bien qu'il y ait... --> although there are...Il est dommage qu'on doive... --> it's a shame that one must...
