Review Summary

  • [Conjunction] + [Clause]
  • որպեսզի + Subjunctive

Erros comuns

Using the past indicative instead of the subjunctive after 'որպեսզի'. Purpose clauses always require the subjunctive mood.

Wrong: Ես գնացի խանութ որպեսզի հաց գնեցի:
Correto: Ես գնացի խանութ, որպեսզի հաց գնեմ:

Confusing a cause clause with a result clause. 'Այնքան... որ' is a fixed structure for results.

Wrong: Այնքան շատ կերա որովհետև հիվանդացա:
Correto: Այնքան շատ կերա, որ հիվանդացա:

While the first is technically understood, using the infinitive with a possessive suffix is more natural for 'before' clauses in Armenian.

Wrong: Նախքան ես կգամ, զանգիր:
Correto: Նախքան գալս, զանգիր:
