ABSTRACT

Here are some useful words for joining two parts of a sentence or filling in gaps in a conversation. These are often called connectives. y and o or pero but porque because entonces then por tanto then, so en todo caso anyway pues bien … well then … aquí lo tiene here it is ¡caramba! oh dear! es todo that’s all

When y is followed by a word beginning with i- or hi- it changes to e. For example, Pepe e Isabel; hijos e hijas.

When o is followed by a word beginning with o- or ho- it changes to u. For example, Diez u once; mujeres u hombres.
