One of the best lessons in contrasting I ever watched on KZfaq ! how come I always use although for showing contrast between two different things !

Hi adam. You have no idea how much you have helped me ,so far. So we can use both whereas and but between " He likes pizza" and "she likes hamburger". When using "whereas" we are considering differences between two people ,but when using "but" we are comparing their likes. However , I think I have got it wrong because in this case they can always be replaced with each other.

hi my favorite teacher. I hope you are doing well. to understand what you are teaching us better, please use simple examples. Although I spent a lot of time focusing on your lessens about contrast function, I do have difficulty to grasp them. in other words, despite a great deal of effort, there is still an ambiguity in the contrast lessen. it is needless to say that It is my weakness and you have been a super powerful teacher in the writing skills.

Even though some contrasting techniques are not easy to handle, they are represented in this video in a very easy-to-understand manner. While the video helps a lot to learn how to use contrast conjunctions, the intensive extra self-practice is still necessary; yet, after watching this video writing contrasting essays appears to be more interesting to master. Whereas comments simply thanking the author are welcome, it is deemed that more words from the presented material should be practiced. Although that thanking comment show listeners' understanding of the learned material still it could use more words from this video.

Hi Adam, Thanks for this amazing staff. Can we use "whereas" as a conjunction between two different views each of them is represented in a different paragraph? In other words, to use it in a manner like "On the other hand" at the beginning of a new paragraph? Sincerely, Ahmad,

Hi Adam, With the coordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS) I have been taught that they link two or more independent clauses using a comma before the conjunctive. For example, Paul works too much every day to make extra money, but he does not save enough. Here, it is mentioned that we may use a semicolon before the conjunctive. For instance, Paul works too much to make extra money; but, he does not save enough. Here, the semicolon and comma are used in the same manner as we use them with linking words, like however, nevertheless, and still. So, could the coordinating conjunctions be treated in the same way like linking words? Thanks in advance,

Thanks very much for the clip. I have a question. I see the word "still" used often with these contrasting words to add more emphasis, such as here: "The building was put up by a respected developer, though/but/yet the government watchdog still condemned it shortly after it was put into exploitation". Is still relevant here? Or should I take it out? Thanks once more

Hi. Thanks for ur great teaching. As u mentioned,"Whereas is just to contrast 2 different things." How about this sentence : "We usually consider it healthy to eat lots of fruit, whereas too much can produce an excess of acid in the stomach." * I think in this sentence we are contrasting 2aspects of a single thing, so we have to use although or but* Could u please answer me ?

It is easy to find out others videos explaining the same topic. However, after spending a considerable amount of time watching them, I drew the conclusion that Adam provides us with the most insightful explanations. However, I must say: he should better organize the way the texts are shown in his "slides". Most of them are quite confusing.

I have a comment on the example sentence: "The test results proved negative, even though the doctors prescribed an intensive diet regimen for Jim". I assume the desired meaning of this sentence is that Jim had had some health issues because of which the doctors prescribed him a diet, and that diet didn't help. But the results of the test, in this case, should be positive, not negative, i.e. the cholesterol is still above some level, etc. Otherwise, if we want to use "even though", the sentence should be something like " The test results proved negative, even though Jim didn't follow the diet the doctors prescribed him". Please correct me if I'm wrong.
