ពាក្យភ្ជាប់ឃ្លា (So, Because, But)
🎯 Scenario: Sarah calls Tom to change their weekend plans. Listen for the logic words.
Sarah: "Hi Tom. I'm calling because I need to change our plans."
Tom: "Oh really? Why?"
Sarah: "My car broke down, so I can't drive to the city."
Tom: "That's annoying, but we can take the train instead."
Sarah: "Good idea. Let's meet at the station, then we can walk to the cinema."
BECAUSE (ពីព្រោះ): Gives a Reason. Why did she call? -> To change plans.
SO (ដូច្នេះ): Gives a Result. Car broke -> Result: Can't drive.
BUT (ប៉ុន្តែ): Shows a Contrast or Problem. Annoying -> Solution exists.
THEN (បន្ទាប់មក): Shows the Next Step. Station -> Cinema.

Match the Marker to its Function:

SO ❓ Select Function
BECAUSE ❓ Select Function
BUT ❓ Select Function
THEN ❓ Select Function

Task: Create a Plan

Record a short plan using "First..., then..., because...".
Example: "First, I will study English, then I will eat dinner because I am hungry."
