Opposites(Antonyms)
 
Hello People!  I was wondering if you could help me a bit.  I �m teaching opposites, and I was wondering if there was a set of words that denote contrast.  I mean apart from but, not, unlike and on the other hand. 
 
Can you help?
 
 
Thanks in advance.

Some more: however, although, but, so, nevertheless, on the other hand...
 
 
Take a look here:
