Default Re: conjunction

Hi Susan,

1.Do the three phrases 'on the other hand', 'and on the other hand' and 'but on the other hand' all mean the same thing? Is it more common to use 'and/but on the other hand' in spoken English?


2.Do you mean however would be fine in informal sentences, like "It is a fat dog. However, its owner is thin."?
Would 'however' be fine in spoken English, too?

Thanks a million.
