contradiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>That man has much money.&nbsp;<strong>However<\/strong>, he isn\u2019t happy at all.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I respect my best friend\u2019s&nbsp;ideas&nbsp;<strong>however<\/strong>&nbsp;we do not have the same thoughts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On the other hand<\/strong>: It is used to say something that is different from the first thing mentioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I like playing football.&nbsp;<strong>On the other hand<\/strong>, my brother likes playing basketball.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We had no money but,&nbsp;<strong>on the other hand<\/strong>, we were very happy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Even so<\/strong>: It is used to indicate something that is unusual or extreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This hypothesis is true, but&nbsp;<strong>even so<\/strong>, further research is required.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your thoughts are very fanciful, but&nbsp;<strong>even so<\/strong>, they are worth to imagine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Though<\/strong>: It is used to show that two ideas are opposing one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Though<\/strong>&nbsp;the meal was spicy, it was really

class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Would you like to go to another place&nbsp;<strong>instead<\/strong>&nbsp;of cinema?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Instead<\/strong>&nbsp;of complaining, you should try to be a constructivist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conversely<\/strong>: It is used to express an idea that is different from or opposite the other idea mentioned before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I thought she would not come to the party;&nbsp;<strong>conversely<\/strong>, she came to the party

effort.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In contrast<\/strong>: It is used to compare two things or people and to say that the second one is very different from the first

attractive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Whereas<\/strong>: It is used for comparing two things which have significant differences from each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chicken meat is white,&nbsp;<strong>whereas<\/strong>&nbsp;cow meat is red.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Her hair

class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can play football.&nbsp;<strong>Alternatively<\/strong>, you can go to the cinema with me.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I think we can go far away for vacation, or&nbsp;<strong>alternatively<\/strong>,&nbsp;we can go where we went last year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nonetheless<\/strong>: It is used to&nbsp;link two contradictory
