I have learned that we have two kinds of stating contrast in English.
Type 1: is to add opposite idea (Contrast)
Type 2: is unexpected or surprising continuation (Concession)
The example of type 1:
San Francisco is cool during the summer, while Log Angeles is generally hot.
The example of type 2:
Cigarette smoking is a factor in longevity, yet Japanese and other long-lived Asian have a very high rate of tobacco use.
Now, I want to know if my analysis correct in this way:
However, but, whereas, whilst, while used for stating contrast
However, nevertheless, nonetheless, still,but,yet, although, though, even though, in spite of , despite used for stating concession
I am not sure about my analysis.
And, how about the following?
On the other hand, in contrast.
