This lesson contains 4 conjunctions.
The final listed group supplies reasons. Quia, quod and quoniam mean because, while cum here has the causal sense since. A word-for-word habit can hide that relationship: since may explain a cause rather than locate an event in time. Quod has also appeared in pronoun entries elsewhere, so decide whether it introduces a reason before assigning it a noun role. These short connectors help a reader follow an argument even when all the surrounding vocabulary is familiar. The reference Challenge II schedule has no lesson-week assignment for this page, and therefore no specific seminar activity can be inferred from it. Use the list with whichever passage your course assigns. Before cumulative review, identify the claim and the reason supporting it, distinguish causal since from temporal when, and explain why a familiar spelling must still be interpreted within its clause.
No. This entry gives its causal meaning since. Inspect the clause to decide whether it explains why something happens.
No. On this page it is a conjunction meaning because. The same spelling can have different grammatical functions elsewhere.
