Review Summary
- Clause 1 + [и/а/но] + Clause 2
اشتباهات رایج
Use 'а' when contrasting two different subjects doing different actions. 'Но' is reserved for when the second part contradicts the expectation of the first.
The second clause is a negative expectation based on the first, so 'но' is required.
Since these are two actions by the same person happening in sequence, use 'и'.
