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.

The Comma Rule

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

सामान्य गलतियाँ

Do not use 'но' (but) with 'въпреки че' (although). It is redundant in Bulgarian.

सही: Въпреки че е трудно, е важно.

Ensure the discourse marker is followed by a complete clause or a proper pronoun reference.

Wrong: Освен това, че е скъпо.
सही: Освен това, то е скъпо.

Ensure the subject consistency across the clause boundaries.

Wrong: Макар че ходих, не бях щастлив.
सही: Макар че ходих, не бях щастлив.
