🎯

The 'Gôr' Connection

When you start a sentence with 'บางครั้ง' (sometimes) or 'ปกติ' (normally), always put 'ก็' (gôr) after the subject. It makes you sound 10x more native.

The 'Then' Rule

Always remember to use 'ก็' (gôr) in the second clause when using 'พอ' (as soon as) or 'ตอนที่' (when). It makes you sound much more native.
