Online Spanish for Expats
CONJUNCTION-1
Spanish is a beautiful language. More so than English, but the beauty is manifested in many ways. One of which emanates from making sure that the language is used beautifully sometimes — I won’t use never — it frequently avoids clashes phonetically. Conjunctions are no exceptions.
Spanish conjunctions are fewer than English.
