Review Summary

  • [Clause 1] + [Marker] + [Clause 2]

Erros comuns

While 'maka' is a connector, it is often too informal for simple physical needs. 'Justeru' fits better when a logical, causative conclusion is drawn.

Wrong: Saya lapar, maka saya makan.
Correto: Saya lapar; justeru, saya makan.

Always place a comma after 'walau bagaimanapun' and ensure the sentence expresses a contrast or concession.

Wrong: Walau bagaimanapun dia pergi ke sekolah.
Correto: Walau bagaimanapun, dia tetap pergi ke sekolah.

Do not start a sentence with 'maka' if it does not follow a clear preceding logical premise.

Wrong: Maka, dia datang.
Correto: Dia datang.
