I'll make sure not to forget this lesson we had.

You're welcome.

Oh, one more! What's the function of However, although, and despite? Are they adverbs, conjunctions?

**Tdol** · #14 11-Jul-2007, 09:09

Despite- preposition
Although- conjunction
However- adverb, or conjunct (both terms are used)

Are the words like "And/morever" considered conjuncts?

'Moreover' is, but 'yes' is an adverb.

I`d like to add something to Tdol`s previous explanations. If you want to give only one word to these words [adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions] , you can name them by only one word :connectors
