But - and worksheet - Free Printable

Explanation:
We need to fill in the blanks with either AND or BUT, depending on whether the two parts of the sentence are connected in a similar way (and) or in contrast (but).

Let’s go through each sentence one by one:

1) *I have a cell phone ………… I don’t have a Tablet.*
→ One thing is true (have phone), the other is opposite (don’t have tablet) → contrast → use BUT

2) *You have a laptop ………… you don’t have a computer.*
→ A laptop *is* a type of computer, so saying you have a laptop but not a computer is contradictory — but the sentence treats them as separate items. The key is the contrast: you have one, not the other → BUT

3) *They have a web cam ………… they have a camera.*
→ A webcam *is* a type of camera, but again, the sentence presents them as two separate items. Since both are positive ("have"), and no contrast — it's adding info → AND

Wait — let’s think carefully: If someone has a webcam, do they *also* have a separate camera? The sentence says “they have a web cam … they have a camera.” That sounds like two things they both have — so it’s addition, not contrast. So AND.

4) *They live in Chile ………… they work in Peru.*
→ Living in one country, working in another → contrast → BUT

5) *We have a printer ………… they have an mp3 player.*
→ Two different people, two different things — no direct contrast, just listing what each group has. But since it’s “we” vs “they”, and no opposition implied, it’s just adding information. However, in English, when comparing what two groups have (especially if not the same), we often use BUT to show difference. Let’s check typical usage:
“We have a printer, but they have an MP3 player.” → Yes, this shows contrast between the two groups. So BUT

6) *I speak Spanish ………… I speak English.*
→ Both are true for the same person — adding info → AND

7) *They live in Chile ………… they work in Chile.*
→ Same place for both → no contrast, just extra info → AND

8) *You work in Lima ………… you live in Cuzco.*
→ Different cities → contrast → BUT

9) *I don’t have a website ………… I have an e-mail address.*
→ First negative, second positive → contrast → BUT

10) *We have 2 cars ………… we have 3 bicycles.*
→ Both positive, same subject, just listing two possessions. No contrast — it’s addition → AND

Now let’s list all answers clearly:

1) BUT
2) BUT
3) AND
4) BUT
5) BUT
6) AND
7) AND
8) BUT
9) BUT
10) AND

Double-check #3: Some might argue a webcam *is* a camera, so saying “they have a webcam and they have a camera” could be redundant — but the task is about grammar, not logic. Since both clauses are positive and about the same subject, AND is correct.

#5: “We have a printer” vs “they have an mp3 player” — definitely contrast between groups → BUT is right.

All others seem solid.

Final Answer:
1) BUT
2) BUT
3) AND
4) BUT
5) BUT
6) AND
7) AND
8) BUT
9) BUT
10) AND
