Joining Sentences
Explanation: Stating a Contrast
Before Two Clauses
Each of these connectors states a direct contrast
and can introduce (or be placed before) either
clause without a change in meaning. A comma
is used to separate the two clauses.
Between Two Clauses
Each of these connectors can be placed between the two
clauses. A comma separates the two clauses (except for
however, a transition word, and in contrast to, a
preposition.)
