Hello, Maria.
(1) Some people say that it is better to use "yet" when you are
SURPRISED:
She is a nurse, yet she smokes 20 cigarettes a day!!!
I am ugly, yet many ladies find me attractive!!!
I told him that there was a shark in the water, yet he still
went swimming!!
She doesn't know a word of my language, yet she seems to understand everything I say!!!
That movie was really boring, yet I can't seem to forget it.
(2) Some people also say that "yet" is something like "although":
Although I am ugly, many ladies ....
Although she is a nurse, she smokes ....
Although that movie was boring ....
***** Thank you *****
