But is used to emphasize the
difference between the elements it joins. But also used to show a difference
(Robinson and Penner, 2005). But is used when a sentence has two things that
are in conflict or that are opposites. Examples:
1. We have a lot in common, but we do not like the same kind of music.
2. I looked everywhere, but I could not find my fink sweater.
3. She is cute but
evil
4. He felt foolish, but
he couldn’t help it.
5. He think 8:00 AM is an unreasonable time for class, but she think it’s fine.
