Spanish.

In our Spanish topic ‘Around Town’, we have been making our sentences more interesting by using subordinate clauses (adding extra information to the main clause) starting with ‘because’, ‘when’ or ‘with’. We are also using a variety of conjunctions (but, and also) and a mixture of positive and negative verbs.
