But is more informal than however. It is not normally used at the beginning of a sentence.
“He works hard, but he doesn’t earn much.”
“He works hard. However, he doesn’t earn much.”
Althoughdespite and in spite of introduce an idea of contrast. With these words, you must have two halves of a sentence.
“Although it was cold, she went out in shorts.”
“In spite of the cold, she went out in shorts.”
Despite and in spite of are used in the same way as due to and owing to. They must be followed by a noun. If you want to follow them with a noun and a verb, you must use the fact that.
“Despite the fact that the company was doing badly, they took on extra employees.”
Nevertheless and nonetheless mean in spite of that or anyway.
“The sea was cold, but he went swimming nevertheless.” (In spite of the fact that it was cold.)
“The company is doing well. Nonetheless, they aren’t going to expand this year.”
Whilewhereas and unlike are used to show how two things are different from each other.
“While my sister has blue eyes, mine are brown.
Connecting Words
Words that connect ideas together fall into four main groups:

  • the and relationship, which shows that additional information is given that is likely to add to your argument, or which give further illustration of your point;


  • the but relationship, which shows that you wish to present information that will contrast with or contradict your previous point;


  • the so relationship, which gives the idea of outcome or result… this is the case, so that must follow;


  • and words that give a sense of time, words which mark each point in a series of points, or indicate that you are about to summarise or conclude.

The following sheets give words and phrases that are frequently used to express these connections. Their use is sometimes subtle. Practice looking out for them in your reading and becoming aware of any slight differences in their meaning.
