Conjunctions

Grammar Notes

That

is a conjunction that means "that". But it is used with a lot of other conjunctions too, especially if those conjunctions are re-purposed question words. See "Lessons" below for specific examples of this.

Because of you

must be followed by a definite article, but it can also be conjugated like the prepositions we've seen previously.

Each sentence shows the rule. Listen, say it after the voice, then tap the grey bar for the meaning and a note on the rule. The pattern quiz blanks out the key form.
