Hana โ€” Japanese Tutor

๐ŸŒธ

ใใ—ใฆ (soshite) โ€” and then

ใใ—ใฆ connects two sentences in time order โ€” 'and then.' It goes at the start of the second sentence, like a bridge. Eat breakfast. ใใ—ใฆใ€go to school. It's the simplest sentence connector and perfect for telling stories or describing your daily routine in order!
