$GRAMMAR And and But
ID: l4-s6
INTRO: In this part you'll join two short sentences into one longer one. "And" adds; "but" turns the sentence around. Here's how they work.
The conjunctions **and** and **but** can be used to join two statements. **And** shows addition and is used when the statements are similar.
| | |
|---|---|
| I called Jan. | We talked for an hour. |
**I called Jan, and we talked for an hour.**
**But** is used to connect statements that express opposite ideas.
| | |
|---|---|
| I also called Steve. | He wasn't home. |
**I also called Steve, but he wasn't home.**
