Learning Tips
- Understand how conjunctions affect word order in sentences (e.g., verb placement with 'jer').
- Practice correlative conjunctions ('i...i' - both...and, 'ni...ni' - neither...nor).
- Use subordinating conjunctions ('da' - that, 'jer' - because, 'ako' - if) to create complex sentences.
