Conjunctions in French Lesson
Conjunctions are like super connectors in French language! They help us join two ideas or words together to make sentences more interesting and meaningful. They act as bridges that bring different parts of a sentence closer, making everything flow smoothly.
In this lesson we will dive into learning the most common conjunctions, the different types and see how they make language exciting and fun!
Here are seven of the most common Conjunctions in French
Conjunction: Mais (But)
Je vais à l’école, mais je n’aime pas ça. / I go to school, but I don’t like it
