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

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.
