hello my name is maddie from poc english and in this lesson we are going to learn some alternatives to the word but let me give you a technical description i promise to keep it short in the english language any word that connects two different clauses or two different sentences is called a conjunction There are three main types of conjunctions: coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions and correlative conjunctions, but

what

are they?

Let me keep it very simple a coordinating conjunction connects two different sentences, both of which are independent clauses a subordinating conjunction connects two sentences, one of which is independent and the

other

is dependent and a correlative conjunction which is a pair of conjunctions like either or neither or not only, but now let's also talk about coordinating conjunctions which are conjunctions that connect two independent clauses to each other. There are seven coordinating conjunctions for and nor but or yet so put together the first letter of each word,

what

do we have fanboys? This is a very easy way to remember the seven coordinating conjunctions now, as you can see the word, but it is a coordinating conjunction.

I said all the technical history just to get to this place, but it is a coordinating conjunction that connects two independent clauses, but what is an independent clause? Look at this

example

. I want to eat pizza but my cholesterol is high. First look at the claws before. I want to eat pizza is complete it has a meaning it has a subject and a verb so this is an independent clause which means if you read this sentence alone you get the meaning and the sentence is complete now look at the clause after my cholesterol is high again this is a very clear sentence, there is a subject and there is a verb, so any complete sentence that can be understood alone and on its own is an independent clause now, but it is used to connect two independent clauses and now is the time. to learn seven sets of alternatives to the word, but before we start, if you want to have the list of all the alternatives with your

sentences in a pdf file, you simply have to give me your email address and I will send it to you for free. not only that but also the lesson summary of all my future videos, how to click on the link above my head, go to my website, enter your email address and press subscribe, that's it, let's start with the alternative number one, on the other hand, not on this one but on the other hand, this is a very formal alternative, look at this sentence, we should invest in advertising, but our budget is limited instead of but I can say, on the other hand, we should invest in advertising, on the other hand, our budget is limited, now you can also combine this with on the one hand and make a sentence like this on the one hand we should invest in advertising on the other hand our budget is limited alternative number two is elegant but which is however I like you a lot but I don't want to start a new relationship instead of but you can say however this again is formal I really like you however I don't want to start a new relationship now pay attention, we have a comma after however and usually We use however at the beginning of the sentence, as you can see in this example, there is a period, then, however, and then there is a comma, moving on to alternative three again, a very formal alternative to, but, which is still, now I know there is another one, still, that we can use as an adverb. in present perfect saying that I have not finished my task yet, however, this is not that yet, this is another yet, which means but formally I don't like that job, but I sent an application instead of bot, you can say yes.

I still don't like that job. Submit a request or look at this example. They played very well but were defeated. They played very well but were defeated. Alternative number four anyway or anyway pay attention. This is one word, not three

words

. it is not however it is not however it is not however it is not however both can be used interchangeably meaning one instead of the other and they have the same meaning they mean but I know there are a lot of risks I want to take anyway an investment I know there are many risks however I want to make an investment as you can see I am trying to show the contrast between two independent clauses the first clause says I know there are many risks which is negative which is bad the second says I want to make an investment and use however I can say however with the same meaning or look at this there are several problems in our company, however, we are doing our best there are several problems in our company, however, we are doing our best again instead of without however I can say however without any change in meaning alternative 5 although or although again both can be used interchangeably in place of the other look at this example she will come tonight although I am not sure exactly when she will come I will come tonight although I am not sure exactly when instead of although I can say although without change in meaning look at this he decided to go even though I asked him to stay he decided to go even though I asked him to stay again as you can see there is a contrast between two independent clauses , he decided to leave, I asked him to stay and I use although or although between the two clauses, be careful, now pay attention.

The common mistake is when students use but and although at the same time. tense in a sentence look at this although I'm tired but let's go out and have fun tonight oh this is wrong we can only use but or although not both at the same time this is a very common mistake so you can say although I'm tired let's go out and have fun or I'm tired but let's have fun alternative six is ​​although now this has the same meaning as although and although but is informal they will come next week although I don't I'm sure what day they will come next week, although I'm not sure what day we can also use, although at the end of the sentence, look at this, it's an old movie, I like it, although it's an old movie, although I like it and. the last alternative despite or despite now pay attention because this can be very complicated and students often make mistakes when using despite or despite but why look at these three phrases despite his injury ronaldo will play despite being injured Ronaldo? will play even though he is injured ronaldo will play here are three different sentences with three different grammatical structures pay close attention to what I am going to say after despite or after even though we use noun or gerund if we want to use a complete clause as in the third sentence as in the third example we must say despite the fact that we use this the fact that there are three different ways of using it after despite or after despite the fact that we use the noun his gerund of injury be injured or full clause after the fact that even though he is injured now instead of despite you can say even though with the same rules there is also no change in meaning so I can say that despite his injury he will play despite being injured he will play even though he is injured he will play and pay attention.

A common mistake is when students say even though there is no after even though we say despite no despite no no no and another common mistake is when students say despite there is no despite it is always despite or despair and that's all I hope you enjoyed this lesson if you know any other alternative to the word bot don't forget to let me know in the comments with an example see you
