Romanian conjunctions and clauses: a guided learning path
A six-stage learning path through Romanian conjunctions and clauses, from coordinating equal ideas to reasons, purposes, complement clauses, conditions and concessions, relative clauses and reported speech, and advanced correlative links. Each stage ties a connector to the relationship it expresses, so you learn to pick the right link and predict the clause form that follows it.
