 Re: conjunction
Hi susan,
1.It was pouring with rain - yet he insisted on going out.
2.It was pouring with rain, but he insisted on going out.
3.It was pouring with rain; still, he insisted on going out.
4.It was pouring with rain; however, he insisted on going out.
5.It was pouring with rain; nevertheless, he insisted on going out.
What's the subtle difference in meaning or degree of surprise between but, yet, still, however and nevertheless here?
Thanks a million. |
