=== difference between but and however === | |||
* both words create a contrast | |||
** ''but'' creates a contrast <u>and</u> combines two sentences | |||
** ''however'' creates a contrast between <u>ideas</u> (created by a verb), not <u>sentence parts</u> | |||
* but = coordinating conjunction | |||
** it combines independent clauses (with a comma) | |||
** (but can also be a preposition, but that's not for this entry) | |||
* however = conjunctive adverb | |||
** it is an adverb because it modifies a predicate (verb + additional info) | |||
** it compares clauses, sentences or ideas | |||
