Hello everyone! Today we will talk about connectives. Connectives are those words that you will use to construct a little more complex sentences, let's say.
First, I'll read you the list.
I repeat for the last time.
How do you use these words?
I chose a sentence.
It's cold today.
Now, let's see how to use these words to construct a sentence.
If, first word.
If it's cold today, I'll put on my coat.
If it rains, I'll put on my jacket, for example.
If.
Second sentence.
It's cold today and it's raining.
Anyway, you already know it without any problem.
It's cold today and it's raining.
It's raining.
In Sicily, is it cold or hot today?
Honestly, I don't know. I don't live there.
So, is it cold or hot? I don't know.
Another example.
Is it cold or hot today?
It's strange this weather.
Is it cold or hot?
It's strange this weather.
There's not a big difference between or and oppure, honestly.
Do you like red or black?
Do you like red or black, you could say.
But oppure is very similar to or.
Even if it's cold today, I'll put on a light coat.
So, don't confuse between if and even if.
Today it's neither cold nor hot.
It's the perfect time to go for a walk.
I don't like red or black.
I don't eat meat or fish.
Today it's neither cold nor hot, I repeat.
Another sentence.
Today it's cold but I have to go out.
I have a lot of things to do.
So, it's cold but I have to go out.
I repeat, you already know a part of these words.
Today it's cold but I like it.
I love winter.
It's very similar to but.
Today it's cold but I like it.
I love winter.
Winter.
These words are very similar.
Today it's cold so I'm not going anywhere.
I stay at home.
So, dunque is used to express a conclusion, let's say.
Today it's cold so there are two degrees.
So, it's a word that I also use very often, if you noticed.
Today it's cold so there are two degrees.
Today it's cold and also snowy.
Also snowy.
So, it's cold and snowy.
It's cold and also snowy.
Since today it's cold, I stay at home.
You can choose any word.
Since today it's cold, I stay at home.
There's not a big difference between them.
Today it's cold.
However, I like it.
Winter is my favorite season.
We won't see each other today but we'll see each other tomorrow.
We won't see each other on Tuesday but we'll see each other on Thursday.
Another example.
Today it's cold.
Instead, yesterday it was hot.
I don't like black.
Instead, I like red.
Today it's cold while yesterday it was hot.
Attention.
While is used together with a verb.
During, together with a noun.
So, I had to change the sentence, unfortunately.
During the winter it's cold.
While I eat or while I eat.
But during the lesson or during the Italian course.
Today it's cold so I wanted to eat a soup.
So, today it's cold.
Then, here we have the conclusion.
So, I want to eat a soup.
I want to stay at home.
I'm hungry so I want to eat.
Today it's cold and it's going to rain.
It's going to rain.
Attention.
I open a parenthesis.
I wrote here, stay for.
I'm about to leave the house.
So, it won't be long before I leave the house.
I'm about to leave the house.
We're about to finish this lesson.
It's not true.
It's about to snow.
So, it's about to snow.
We're about to argue.
So, we're about to argue.
We argue.
Now, I chose another sentence.
And now I'll read you my examples.

In fact, here we have the example.
Seventeen.

Oh, bravo, I repeat.
Eighteen.
I learned English and now I'm learning Italian.
In addition, I want to study Arabic.

And now, before I finish, try to do the same type of exercise
starting from these three sentences I wrote.
I watch a movie, I go shopping, I clean the house.
Even if it doesn't seem easy, try it.
Try to do at least a few sentences, three, four, five sentences.
You will definitely have fun.
Bye.
