Complex word order
القاعدة
Longer sentences join clauses, and the joining word decides both the order inside the clause and the punctuation around it.
تذكّر
- A subordinate clause keeps statement order however it begins.
- When the subordinate clause comes first, a comma separates the two.
- Although, because, while and so are not interchangeable; each sets a different relation.
خطأ شائع يجب تجنّبه

اختبر نفسك
Combine five pairs of sentences with three different connectors, then practise.
