Grammar point: Argument frames: giving examples (part 2)
At C1, you'll encounter and want to use highly formal frames for giving examples, especially in academic, institutional, or official arguments. One such powerful phrase is «Valga como ejemplo…» (Let … stand as an example…). This construction puts forward a single case to illustrate a broader claim, doing so with a strong emphasis on selection and impersonality.
