Discourse Markers
Of contrast
Annotations:
We use discourse markers of contrast to show differences between two points.
We use "on the one hand" and "on the other hand" together.
Annotations:
On the one hand, I'd like a job that pays more. On the other hand, I enjoy the work I'm doing at the moment.
"Although", "while" and "though" go before the two points being contrasted.
Annotations:
While my sister prefers key lime pie, I prefer chocolate cake.
Though it's raining outside, I'm still going to go hiking.
Although Tom is sick, he's planning on going to school.
"However" and "whereas" go between the points being contrasted.
Annotations:
The movie got good reviews. However, it was very long.
The south has a hot, dry climate whereas the north has a milder, wetter climate.
