If you want to present a contrast between two ideas (i.e., sentences), "however" goes at the beginning of the second sentence, and it �s always followed by a comma. For example: It was raining heavily. However, she was wearing shorts and a t-shirt.
"Because" can usually go at the beginning of a second clause (i.e., "sentence within a larger sentence") to give the reason for the first clause. For example: I didn �t want to go to school BECAUSE I didn �t feel well.
"Therefore" goes at the beginning of the second sentence (the same as "However", and it �s also followed by a comma), but it presents the consequence of the first sentence. For example: My mom is afraid of heights. Therefore, she doesn �t want to be anywhere near that building.
"Although" can go at the beginning of the first clause, or it can go at the beginning of the second clause, to present a contrast. "Although" is never followed by a comma. For example: Although it was snowing, he was not wearing gloves. / He was not wearing gloves although it was snowing.
Hope it helps :) |
