CONTRASTIVE CONJUNCTION
A conjunction is a word that joins two or
more words, phrases, or clauses.
Contrastive conjunctions are used to
emphasize the contrast between two ideas
and to link two ideas or statement that are
considered to be different.
Contrastive conjuctionis are but, still, yet,
although, even though, whereas, while,
however, nevertheless, and despite/in spite of.

EXAMPLE
Although
- Although there is no universal agreement
within the scientific community on the
impacts of increasing concentrations of
greenhouse gases, it has been theorized that
they may lead to an increase in the average
temperature of the Earth's surface.
Even Though

- Nia had studied hard, (Even) tough she failed
the test.
- (Even) tough he loses his job as Arts Minister, I
think he'll continue to serve in the
government .
- (Even) though I had two hours to spare for
shopping, I couldn't find the suit I wanted.

While
- Before main clause:
While land temperatures are measured by the
temperature of air about a metre above the
earths surface, ocean temperatures are
measured by the temperature of water
- After main clause:
Land temperatures are measured by the
temperature of air about a metre above the
earths surface, while ocean temperatures are
measured by the temperature of water


Whereas

- The Finns had difficulty supplying their troops
with ammunition, whereas the Russians had
an unlimited supply and a vastly superior
system of communication.
- Hydrogen can be used as a motor fuel,
whereas neither nuclear nor solar energy can
be used directly for powering an automobile.

Nevertheless

- Negative ( - ) to Positive ( + )
Nuclear fission produces highly toxic
radioactive wastes. Nevertheless, it produces
no greenhouse gases.
- Positive ( + ) to Negative ( - )
Nuclear fission produces no greenhouse gases.
However, it does produce highly toxic
radioactive wastes.

However

- Positive ( + ) to Negative ( - )
All major studies of the greenhouse effect have
concluded that sea level and precipitation will
change significantly. However, most engineers
and planners implicitly assume that these
changes will not occur.
- Situation ( + ) to Problem ( - )
Sampling techniques developed for attribute
inspection have traditionally been designed on
the basis of perfect human inspection. However,
studies in human factors have shown that human
inspection is not error free.

But,Yet,Still

- Ram likes tea, but Anthony likes coffee.Mr.
- David is rich, yet he is unhappy
- The sun was shining and there was no wind,
but it was unusually cold. I thought they
