Rule reminder
In complex Italian sentences, multiple causal relationships can be expressed through: (1) nested subordinate clauses with different causal conjunctions; (2) a combination of explicit and implicit causal constructions; (3) causal chains where one cause leads to an effect that becomes the cause of another effect. Careful tense concordance and conjunction choice are essential at B2 level.
