Conjunctions |
Conjunctions are words that link other words, clauses or sentences. Depending on the conjunction, they simply join, provide two alternatives or show a contrast.
Salió y tomó un taxi. (He) went out and took a taxi.
¿Sales o te quedas? Are you staying or leaving?
Estudié poco pero no me acuerdo nada. I haven't studied a lot, but I can't remember anything.
Other conjunctions begin clauses that depend on the main sentence to make complete sense. A clause introduced by si if, for example, shows a condition for something to happen and one introduced by pese despite, shows a difficulty.
Si la llamas, ella vendrá. If you call her, she'll come.
Pese a no haber estudiado, Esther aprobó el examen. Despite not having revised, Esther passed the exam.
