Words That Connect Ideas in Time
Salut! Today you're learning the words that give your sentences structure — showing when things happen, in what order, and how ideas contrast.
Video below
Pendant — During
Depuis — Since
Ensuite — Then
Puis — After that
D'abord — First
Enfin — Finally
Pourtant — However
Quand même — Still
Tandis que — Whereas
Alors que — Whereas
A quick note on the last two: tandis que and alors que both translate as "whereas" but alors que often carries a stronger sense of contrast or surprise, while tandis que is more about two things happening in parallel.
