Complex word order

ルール

Longer sentences join clauses, and the joining word decides both the order inside the clause and the punctuation around it.

覚えておこう

  • 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.

よくある落とし穴

English uses one connector per relation. Although it was late, we stayed is complete, and adding but after it doubles a link the sentence already has.

力だめし

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