Spanish connectives and time expressions.

Apart from the basic y (and) and o (or) sometimes students can struggle to use linking words that give their speech flow.

I've put together the most useful connectors and time expressions so this doesn't happen to you.

Below you have a list of connectors, a list of time expressions and finally a list of sequencing words, which give you some information about time but also can be used to organize the text, so they work as both things! win-win!

Connectors

Pero - But
Porque - Because
También - Also
Además - Also
Aunque - Although
A pesar de - despite
Entonces - Then
Así que - So
Por lo tanto – therefore

Sequencing words

Sequencing words or expressions are those that tell use in which order things happen. They function as both connectors and expressions of time.
