Linking words

[Glob3]

Hello,

Can anyone show me how linking words "yet ... still" and "but ... anyway" are used?

Thanks

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Yet is often used with the negative when you want to say that up to the present time something has not happened.[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

Still can sometimes be used as an alternative to yet.[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

When you use still in this way, it is emphatic. You want to say that you are very surprised that something hasn’t happened so far..[/FONT]

I still haven’t been to Ireland, although I’ve visited England many times.

Anyway is [/FONT]used in conversations
a) to emphasize what is being said
I don't have time to go and anyway it's too expensive.
b)to change the subject, return to an earlier subject, get to the most interesting point , finish a conversation

But, we shall see if it makes a difference... Anyway, I must be off!
So, it's something, anyway, to look forward to...
Well anyway, it's lovely talking to you, but I must get on...


[FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]but[/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif] is similar in meaning to yet, but yet has a stronger effect on the reader or listener.[/FONT]
