Al juntar ambas en una oración se requiere el use de "a/an" pues al final, pero si no se juntan y solo se usa la forma de "predicate adjective" la oracion precide de el uso de "a/an": - The city is nice (Predicate adjective) - The city is a nice place (Conjunto de ambas) + LA "a/an" corresponde al uso de noun seguido de "is" en ese caso place

And

However

Let's say that is another way to say "but", for that reason, "however" gives a contrast as well. -The city is big. it is not cheap, however. -The city is big. However, it is not cheap. There are two way to place it, notice the coma in both cases

It works to introduce something that has relation with the main idea, also you can introduce another idea while it doesn't contrast with the main idea -I like playing videogames and soccer -I like playing videogames, and I hate playing soccer

though

but

though as well introduces a contrast so it is interchangeable with but, too. It has the same positions that however -The city is big. It is not cheap, tough. (The more common and natural way ) -The city is big. Tough, it is not cheap.

It gives a contrast to the principal idea or sentence: -The city is big, but it is not cheap Notice that but it goes with a comma well it introduces a new sentence or idea that contrasts the first one.

Should We use "should" when we give some advice or suggestion (something good to do) Where should I go in France? = Where do you suggest me to go in France? The negative form just means a suggestion of something not good. You shouldn't go to the poor neighborhood

Can We use can when we talk about something that is possible Where can I get some souvenirs? = Where is possible I get some souvenirs? In its negative form is going to be used the same, but it has another slight meaning difference. You can't miss the new movie
