Hello everyone. My name is Mr. Pea and together we are going to learn to speak English. Today we are going to talk about connectors in English, which are words or expressions that serve to join and unite the different phrases or words in a text. Are you ready? Here we go! Connectors in English have several functions. They can present us with certain information, or compare it with another idea in the text. They can also be used to organize all the ideas in a text, or to argue and defend an idea. Apart from this, connectors are used to clarify an idea or to give an opinion. Today I am going to teach you the basics, but I recommend that as you improve your level of English, you incorporate new connectors that will make your speeches more interesting and less monotonous. In fact, when you master the ones I am going to teach you today and you want to learn new ones, you just have to ask me and I will make a new video. Here we go! AND: means and. It is possibly the most used connector and the one that helps to unite concepts. For example: Jane is studying and Tom is preparing dinner. ALSO / TOO: Both mean also. The difference between one and the other is that also is placed at the beginning of the sentence, after the subject. While too is placed at the end of the sentence. If you want me to develop this topic in another video, you just have to ask me. Let's look at a sentence using one or the other: She also studies Spanish. // She studies Spanish too. She also studies Spanish. OR: It means either or neither. It helps to connect different options or choices. When the list to be connected involves more than two options, the conjunction or will be placed between the last two. For example: Do you prefer meat or fish? IF: It is a conditional connector that we will use when we want to express a condition between two parts of the sentence. For example: If you go to the kitchen please bring me a spoon. If you go to the kitchen, bring me a spoon, please. SO: It means then or so that. This connector gives us a result or decision about a past event. For example: I was hot so I took a shower. I was hot, so I took a shower. THEN: It means after or later. And it connects two ideas or actions that happen one after the other. For example: We'll go to the pool and then we'll have an ice cream. BUT: It means but. It is a connector used in statements that express contrary ideas in the same speech. For example: I like that shirt but I won't wear it today. THAN: It means that in a comparative context. If you want to learn more about it, I recommend that you watch my video on comparative adjectives. Here is the LINK She is taller than me. She is taller than me. BECAUSE: It means because. And it tells us the reason why something happens in a sentence. In other words, it indicates a causality. For example: We stay at home because it rains a lot. LIKE: When it works as a connector, this word means like or for example. It is an addition connector that adds more information to an idea or concept. It also serves to exemplify something. For example: My stomach roars like a lion. My stomach roars like a lion. AS: It can mean like or since. It is a connector that explains the reason why the action has been done. It is also used to express that an action occurs at the same instant as another. For example: As I was hungry, she made me a sandwich. Let's work on what we have learned. Complete the sentence with the correct connector. 1. I really like superhero movies.
