Lesson#1
You already know basic linkers like 'e', 'mas', and 'porque' to connect simple thoughts in Portuguese. In this deck, you will learn spoken connectors of cause, consequence, and contrast. These words will help you structure natural explanations and build clearer arguments when speaking.
Lesson#2
To state a reason right at the start of a sentence, use 'como', meaning 'as' or 'since'. It always introduces the first clause. For example, 'Como estava chovendo, fiquei em casa' means 'As it was raining, I stayed at home'.
Quiz#3
Using 'como', translate into Portuguese: 'As it was raining, I stayed at home.'

Como estava chovendo, fiquei em casa

Lesson#5
