Conjunctions are super important in French. They help make our sentences flow better, especially when we use more complicated structures like subordinate and relative clauses.

What Do Conjunctions Do?

1. Connecting Ideas: Conjunctions link different clauses together. This helps us understand how they are related. For example:

   • "Je pense qu'il viendra" means "I think that he will come."

2. Giving Context: Some conjunctions, like "parce que" (which means "because"), explain reasons. This makes things clearer. For example:

   • "Elle est fatiguée parce qu'elle a travaillé tard" means "She is tired because she worked late."

3. Showing Contrast: We can use conjunctions like "bien que" (which means "although") to point out differences. For example:

   • "Bien qu'il pleuve, nous sortirons" means "Although it is raining, we will go out."

In advanced French, knowing how to use conjunctions well helps our writing flow smoothly. It also makes what we want to say more clear and interesting.
