Yes, I guess you’re wondering why I’m in a British Library. Because, today, we’re doing a reading lesson. No, I just want to write one. It’s a writing lesson today. Oh, why we are in a library? This is a writing lesson. If we’re doing a writing lesson, shouldn’t we’ve gone to Shakespeare’s Globe? Think of a sentence, anything.

Why not Tom is sexy? Nice, okay, how about something else? Something negative about Tom. Like he smells of fish. It’s true. How can I connect these sentences? I could say however. Example: Tom is sexy, however he smells of fish. However, is the same as but. And, this lesson is about different conjunction words to replace but, and this will help your writing become a little bit more sexy.

So, what other words can I use to replace but? I can say although. Like: although Tom is sexy, he smells of fish. Remember to put the comma after the first sentence. And the pronunciation is like this.

Although, so now you say it. Although. Be careful of the “th” sound, the th. The tongue between the teeth. Mmm although. Although, can be at the start or the middle, between the two sentences. So, I could say: tom is sexy, although he smells of fish. Also, I can say: even though.

Again start or middle is okay. And at the end of the sentence, I could say though. For example, Tom is sexy, he smells of fish. though. In the middle we can put, however or having said that. Having said that is good, it’s nice. It’s like to think again or on second thought.

So, all of these conjunction words basically mean but. Try to use them in a sentence. Some things to remember, only use one of these conjunction words to connect the sentence and follow the color code of the conjunction words, for the placement of commas. Okay, so, try your own sentence.
