1. I know the answer, *but* I can’t tell you.
→ "But" shows contrast between knowing the answer and being unable to say it.
2. Should we go by train, *or* take the bus?
→ "Or" presents a choice between two options.
3. I am allergic to cats, *yet* I have two of them.
→ "Yet" indicates a surprising contradiction (allergic but still owns cats).
4. She did not study, *so* she failed the test.
→ "So" shows cause and effect: no studying → failure.
5. I will be late for the party, *for* I will be having dinner with my parents first.
→ "For" gives a reason (like "because"), though less common in modern English. It’s formal.
6. Can you stay here, *or* wait for him?
→ "Or" offers a choice between staying or waiting.
7. She does not like apples, *nor* does she like oranges.
→ "Nor" is used after a negative statement to add another negative idea.
8. He has a small house, *yet* it feels very spacious.
→ "Yet" again shows contrast: small size vs. feeling large.
9. You can pay with cash, *or* you can use your credit card.
→ "Or" offers alternatives.
10. He was driving too fast, *so* he missed the turn.
→ "So" indicates result: speeding caused missing the turn.
11. We bathed the dog, *but* we could not get him clean.
→ "But" shows contrast: tried to bathe, but didn't succeed.
12. He was supposed to study, *but* he played games instead.
→ "But" contrasts what he should have done with what he actually did.
---
- And: Adds information.
- Or: Offers choices.
- For: Gives reason (formal).
- Nor: Adds a negative idea after a negative.
- Yet: Shows contrast (often with surprise).
- So: Shows result or consequence.
- But: Shows contrast.
