The Comma is Your Friend

If you see 'докато' or 'макар че', there is almost certainly a comma nearby. In Bulgarian exams, this is a free point!

💡

The Comma Rule

In Bulgarian, you almost always need a comma before 'че'. If 'въпреки че' starts the sentence, the comma goes after the whole first clause.

Always put a comma after 'Освен това' when it starts a sentence. It's the most common mistake at the C1 exam.
