Spanska Konjunktioner

Spanish conjunctions (conjunciones) are connecting words that link clauses, sentences, or words together. They create relationships between ideas, showing addition (y), contrast (pero), cause (porque), or other logical connections. Mastering conjunctions is essential for creating complex, flowing sentences.

Coordination vs Subordination

Coordinating conjunctions (y, o, pero) connect equal elements. Subordinating conjunctions (porque, cuando, si) connect dependent clauses to main clauses.

Y Changes to E

The conjunction "y" (and) changes to "e" before words starting with "i" or "hi" for easier pronunciation.

O Changes to U

Similarly, "o" (or) changes to "u" before words starting with "o" or "ho".

Trigger Subjunctive

Some subordinating conjunctions require the subjunctive mood in the clause they introduce.

Sound Changes

English "and" and "or" never change. Spanish "y" and "o" change to "e" and "u" for pronunciation.

Pero vs Sino

English uses "but" for both. Spanish distinguishes between simple contrast (pero) and replacement (sino).
