6 minutes

The academic content is in Arabic, as at the BAC and as in the app.

What the syllabus expects from you

  • Cause-effect connectors (because/since/as, so/therefore/as a result)

The method

  1. Locate the cause clause and the effect clause before choosing the connector

The common mistakes

  • so vs because reversed (giving the cause after 'so')

From the lesson

Read these two sentences about junk food advertising. They share the same idea, but the connector sits in a different place.

The vocabulary

  • as a result (نتيجة لذلك)
  • because/since/as (لأن)
