Duration: 25 minPrerequisites: menyra-kushtorePass mark: 80%

1. Objective

By the end, you will recognise and use “Cause, purpose and consequence” correctly in simple examples.

2. Discover

Read: Nuk vij sepse jam i sëmurë.; Rri në shtëpi sepse bie shi.; U vonuam sepse autobusi nuk erdhi.; Për shkak të trafikut, arritëm vonë.. What relation links the two pieces of information?

3. Understand

To understand “Cause, purpose and consequence”, start from the examples rather than an abstract definition. Notice how the groups connect. Meaning comes from their relationship, not only from isolated words.

Nuk vij sepse jam i sëmurë.Rri në shtëpi sepse bie shi.U vonuam sepse autobusi nuk erdhi.Për shkak të trafikut, arritëm vonë.Meqë ke kohë, eja me ne.Ai pushoi ngaqë ishte lodhur.Shembull shtesë: Familja ime telefonon para takimit.
Watch out

Choose the connector from the meaning, not from an isolated translation. Languages do not always divide logical relations in the same way.

4. Guided practice

5. Independent practice

6. Write / speak

Say what you want to mean first, then express it with “Cause, purpose and consequence”. Read it again as if you were receiving it.

7. Check your learning

8. Remember

For cause: 1) identify the meaning relation; 2) choose the connector or structure; 3) check the verb form that follows.
