The bipolar sentences they are sentence structures that consist of two groups, called periods or propositions, united by a nexus that links them formally and semantically, in such a way that the existence of one of these propositions presupposes the existence of the other. For example: Yes You explain to me better, I will be able to understand you.
The linksthat are used in bipolar sentences are fundamental as they define the relationship between both propositions. Some links are: yes, although, however, because, since, therefore, and, nor, but, more (adjective) than, tan (adjective) that, etc.
In syntactic terms, all structures correspond to subordinate compound sentences, except for adversative bipolar ones, which correspond to coordinated compound sentences.

Types of bipolar sentences
- Conditional bipolar sentences. They establish a relationship in which one of the propositions manifests the necessary condition for the other proposition to be fulfilled. In these sentences, the propositions are called conditioning Y conditioned, respectively. For example: We can arrive on time yes they hurry.
- Adversative bipolar sentences. They express a contrast between two ideas (commonly called thesis and antithesis). For example: I invited them but they did not come.
- Concessive bipolar sentences. By means of a proposition (concession) they mark the difficulty or objection so that another proposition (consequent) is fulfilled. For example: I did not do well in the exam although Juan had helped me study.
- Causal or causative bipolar sentences. They establish a relationship in which one of the propositions (cause) explains the reason for what the other proposition (effect) refers to. For example: We will hire it why he is an excellent professional.
- Consecutive bipolar sentences. They point out through a proposition (the consequent), the logical and inevitable consequence of a certain event (the antecedent). For example: The tickets were very expensive, Thus the stadium was empty.
- Comparative bipolar sentences. They express a relationship of quantity through a second (comparative) proposition associated with a first proposition, which is the one that states the objective fact (compared). For example: This dress is more cute what the one you gave me
