Review Summary

  • [Clause A] + [Conjunction] + [Clause B] + [Conjunction] + [Clause C]

أخطاء شائعة

Simply placing a comma between two independent clauses is a comma splice. You must use a coordinating conjunction to bridge them logically.

Wrong: On je radio cijeli dan, on je bio umoran.
صحيح: On je radio cijeli dan, stoga je bio umoran.

In Croatian, a comma is mandatory before 'ali'. Without it, the sentence feels rushed and grammatically incomplete.

Wrong: Htio je ići van ali kiša pada.
صحيح: Htio je ići van, ali kiša pada.

Repeating the subject 'oni' multiple times makes the sentence sound choppy. Use coordination to combine the predicates.

Wrong: Oni su došli, oni su sjeli, oni su jeli.
صحيح: Oni su došli, sjeli su i jeli su.

أسئلة شائعة (2)

Zarez se piše ispred 'i' kada se on ponavlja radi naglašavanja (npr. 'I pjeva, i pleše, i smije se') ili kada povezuje rečenice koje su u jakom suprotnom odnosu.
Oba se koriste nakon negacije, ali 'već' je stilski jači i naglašeniji. 'Nije samo pametan, već je i mudar.'
