LINKING WORDS AND ACTS!

Connectors ('Linking Words' o conjunctions) are those words that help us to connect two phrases. Now, we have
a look to connectors of reason which express the cause for what something happened or the consequence that it
had (connectors of result).

We can use 'because' (porque) – due to (debido a) – since (ya que) and 'so' (así que) – therefore (por lo
tanto) to connect two phrase and build a sentence.

 No voy al cine porque no tengo dinero.= I am not going to the cinema because I do not have money
* Esta frase nos da la razón por la cual no vamos al cine. Por ello usamos la palabra 'because'.

 Fue al partido porque le gusta el fútbol. = He went to the match because he likes football.

 Porque le gusta el fútbol, fue al partido. = Because he likes football, he went to the match.

 We cannot sleep due to the noise = No podemos dormir debido al ruido.

 Since the store was closed, we could not buy the flowers.= Ya que la tienda estaba cerrada, no pudimos
comprar las florez.

So and therefore son conectores se utilizan para hablar de la consecuencia, y suele utilizarse en medio de
frase.

 Le gusta el fútbol, así que fue al partido. = He likes football, so he went to the match.

 He does not speak English; therefore, He did not understand any word = Él no habla English, por lo tanto; Él
no entendió ni una palabra

¿QUÉ DEBO RECORDAR? Existen muchos tipos de conectores. En este caso estamos viendo los que
expresan razón y consecuencia.
