Learning Tips
- Use subordinating conjunctions ('da' - that, 'jer' - because, 'ako' - if) to create complex sentences.
- Understand how conjunctions affect word order in sentences (e.g., verb placement with 'jer').
- Practice causal conjunctions ('zato što' - because, 'budući da' - since) in explanations.
