Joining words
Learn joining words that link two ideas.
Joining words link two ideas. On page 17 of your book, Santoor, you use four of them: since, however, because and when.
'Because' gives a reason. Gopi finished his work quickly because he wanted to go out and play. Why did he finish quickly? Because he wanted to play.
'Since' can also give a reason, just like 'because'. It often comes at the start: Since his friends had not come yet, Gopi decided to take a walk.
'However' shows that something happened that we did not expect. Gopi ran to the playground. However, nobody was there. We usually put a comma after 'However'.
'When' tells us the time something happens. When his friends arrived, they talked about which game to play.
