Consejos y trucos (4)

💡

Don't overthink it

It works exactly like 'and' in English. Don't look for hidden rules.
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: Conjunction 'И' (And)
💡

Comma Rule

Always, always put a comma before 'но'. It is the #1 rule for writing.
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: Conjunction 'Но' (But)
💡

Avoid the Comma

In simple sentences, don't put a comma before 'защото'. It's not a coordinating conjunction.
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: Conjunction 'Защото' (Because)
💡

The Comma is King

If you are writing, always check for that comma before 'обаче'. It's the easiest way to look like a pro.
