Conjunctions
And It is used when you join two ideas or sentences together. For example: I have three cats and four dogs. I drink coffee in the morning and I drink tea in the evening. Notice that, in this sentence ‘and’ has connected two different ideas.
Conjunctions
But This conjunction connects two ideas in the same way that the word “and” does. However, whereas “and” connects two similar ideas/things, “but” connects two dissimilar ideas/things. For example: I want to study but john wants to go to the movies. If you said, “I want to study, but John wants to go to the movies,” it would imply that you and john will do both activities. Using the word “but” implies that you will do one or the other.
Conjunctions
So This conjunction in English is used to give a reason for something. For example: I have to wake up early so I can go for a walk. John is finding it difficult to teach his daughter so he hired a tutor for her.
