But, However And Nevertheless

September 18, 2007

Yes, I am confusing in But, however And Nevertheless again. Three of them look like the same to me. I need a teacher to give me a detail explanation regarding this three simple yet hard to understand how to use words.

Of course I found someone to explain to me. Although I’m still not very sure about the use of these three words, however, I will try my best to study more and do more exercise about it. Below was how she explain to me.

• But is tetapi
  
• However is used when you say something bad then you want to say something good about it. (example : she is naugty however, she is very smart.)
• Nevertheless is tidak kurang nya…say something bad but got something good too
