My inclination is to say that you should use it the same way you use but, but but is already doing that. :wink:

Yet can be used the same way we use 'however' at the beginning of a sentence, as well as a conjunction.
I've thought of "yet" as being more like "but" when used as a conjunction.Quote:

You see 'yet' with a comma and without in BE, so it can be the full 'however' or not as strong according to sense. :shock:Quote:
