¿Qué es un CONNECTOR?

Un "Connector" es una palabra que utilizamos para unir 2 o más partes de una oración.

¿Y un CONNECTOR OF CONTRAST?

Es un tipo de CONNECTOR que sirve para comparar o contrastar dos ideas en la oración.

Consejos para que te sea más fácil aprender a usarlos:

1.Tradúcelos al español. Siempre tener una referencia en tu propio idioma, te ayudará a utilizarlos correctamente, sobre todo a la hora de escribir ensayos.

2. Compara su uso en español e inglés. Te darás cuenta que a veces, la traducción en uno y otro caso, no son siempre iguales.

3. Aprende oraciones hechas en inglés con un CONNECTOR. Es muy importante saber el contexto de uso pues su significado puede cambiar.

Veamos ahora algunos ejemplos de CONNECTORS OF CONTRAST:

1. However = Sin embargo

Lo usamos para indicar contraste o contradicción.

Ejemplos:

2. Nevertheless = Sin embargo

Lo utilizamos para hablar de algo que es diferente a lo que acabamos de decir, con el fin de contrastar ideas.

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre HOWEVER, NEVERTHELESS? Todos se traducen como "sin embargo", pero NEVERTHELESS es más formal y enfático que HOWEVER.

3. Notwithstanding = A pesar de

Se utiliza para decir que algo ocurre aún incluso cuando no es esperable que ocurra.

Ejemplos:

Notwithstanding the lack of money, they manage to make ends meet.

A pesar de la falta de dinero, ellos se apañan para llegar a fin de mes.

But in the course of time, notwithstanding some setbacks, the labour market recovered.

Pero con el paso del tiempo, a pesar de algunos contratiempos, el mercado laboral se recuperó.

4. But =Pero

Lo utilizamos para decir que existe una "excepción" a lo que acabamos de decir.

Ejemplos:

5. Yet = sin embargo

Habitualmente, Yet, se estudia con el significado de "aún" o "todavía". En estos casos, va al final de la oración. Pero cuando "Yet" aparece al principio, o en medio de una frase, significa "Sin embargo".

I was very tired, yet somehow I managed to finish the report on time.

Estaba muy cansado, sin embargo como sea me las arreglé para acabar el informe a tiempo.

Yet, no matter how many times we told him not to do it, he kept doing it.

Sin embargo, no importó cuántas veces le dijimos que no lo hiciera, siguió haciéndolo.

6. On the other hand = Por otro lado

Utilizamos "on the other hand" para introducir una segunda idea o hecho que contrasta con el anterior. Muy frecuentemente, se utiliza conjuntamente con "On the one hand" = "Por un lado".

Ejemplos:

Well, all right, it is a very expensive electric car. But, on the other hand, eventually you will save money on fuel.

Bien, de acuerdo, es un coche eléctrico muy caro. Pero, por otro lado, más tarde o más temprano ahorrarás dinero en combustible.

On the one hand, it's quite a good idea, but on the other hand, can we afford it?

Por un lado, es una idea bastante buena, pero por otro lado, ¿nos la podemos permitir?

7. Even so = Aún así

Indica que una situación sigue siendo de una determinada manera, a pesar de las circunstancias que le rodean.

I know that you don't like this kind of food. Even so, you must eat it because it's good for you.

Sé que no te gusta este tipo de comida. Aún así, debes comerla porque es buena para ti.

He is not the best developer; even so, his last project was outstanding.

Él no es el mejor programador; aún así, su último proyecto fue excelente.

8. Though and Although = Aunque

Se utiliza para decir que "a pesar de que" un hecho es de determinada manera, ocurre algo algo distinto a lo esperado.

La diferencia entre THOUGH y ALTHOUGH: THOUGH es más informal que ALTHOUGH. THOUGH se utiliza más al hablar y ALTHOUGH al escribir

Ejemplos:

9. Otherwise = De otra manera, si no

Se utiliza para indicar que si ocurre una cosa, ocurrirá otra cosa distinta.

10. Despite/ In spite of = A pesar de

Se utiliza para decir que algo ocurre aún incluso cuando no es lógico que ocurra.

Detrás de "Despite" o de "In spite of", utilizamos un sustantivo, gerundio o un pronombre.

Ejemplos:

11. While = Mientras, a pesar de

Se utiliza para indicar que un hecho ocurre al tiempo que ocurre otro hecho.

Ejemplos:

12. Whereas = mientras que, considerando que

Se utiliza para comparar dos situaciones sin referencia al tiempo.

Ejemplos:

Para tenerlo todo más claro, aquí tienes una infografía.

For this day, many businesses prepare discounts, activities, and special products, which has contributed to many people criticizing that it has lost its original spirit and has become a commercial celebration.

It is celebrated on February 14 in almost all countries. In Colombia, however, it is also celebrated on the third Saturday of September.

There are several stories about the origin of Valentine's Day. One of the most popular tells that, during the Roman Empire, Emperor Claudius II forbade soldiers to marry, as he considered that single men performed better in battle.

A bishop, named Valentine, considered this prohibition unjust, and, contravening the emperor's order, married couples in secret, among other things to safeguard the sacrament of marriage. Upon being discovered by Caesar, he was imprisoned.

In prison, Valentine was ridiculed by his jailer, who challenged him to restore his blind daughter's sight, which Valentines did in the name of God. It is said that on February 14, Valentine was executed, so Valentine's Day is celebrated to this day.

Another story tells that the Catholic religion created Valentine's Day to put an end to the pagan tradition of the Lupercal feast, which was a fertility rite.

Conclusion:

Regardless of its origin or commercial purposes, the day of love and friendship is very special for many people, and sometimes even a pretext to go out. But we must remember that we should not wait until Valentine's Day to express our love and affection for others, but do it every day to let them know how much we appreciate them.
