Type: Coordinating conjunction/adverb

Structure: Used to connect two independent clauses (when used as a conjunction). When used as an adverb, it typically comes toward the end of a sentence (when used as an adverb).

Sentence structure:

• Clause 1 + , (comma) + yet + clause 2.

• Example (as conjunction): "She was tired, yet she kept working."

---------------------------

• Example (as adverb): "He hasn't finished the project yet."

• Note: "Yet" as a conjunction is typically used to express a stronger contrast than "but."

Also as an adverb it can be at the beginning of a sentence:

• In this position, it indicates a contrast or unexpected continuation, similar to "however" or "still."

  Example:

  • "The weather was terrible. Yet, they decided to go hiking."

  Here, "yet" modifies the entire sentence, showing that what follows is unexpected or in contrast to what was mentioned before. This is how it behaves as an adverb.

Translation: aún, todavía, aunque

My examples:

1. I was sick, yet I played the match. (conjunction)

2. He hasn't arrived to the house yet. (adverb)

3. It's raining. Yet, we can go to the park. (adverb)

Type: Preposition

Structure: "Despite" is followed by a noun, noun phrase, or gerund (-ing form).

Sentence structure:

• Despite + noun/noun phrase/gerund.

• Example: "Despite the rain, we went for a walk." or "Despite feeling tired, she worked late."

Translation: aunque, a pesar de...

My examples:

1. Despite not studying, I've passed my exam. (gerund)

2. We play the football match despite the weather. (noun)

3. Despite some people wanting to go there, we finally stayed at home. (noun phrase)

Type: Adverb

Structure: It usually comes before the main verb but after the subject. If the verb is "to be" or a modal verb, "still" goes after it.

Sentence structure:

• Subject + still + verb + (complement).

• Example: "She still lives in New York."

• With modals or "to be": "He is still tired." or "They can still win."

• Note: "Still" emphasizes the continuation of an action or state.

Translation: aún, todavía...

My sentences:

1. My mom is still cooking for me. (verb to be+still)

2. I play basketball since I was 8, nowadays I still play. (still+verb)

Type: Subordinating conjunction

Structure: It introduces a dependent (subordinate) clause, which is usually followed by an independent clause.

Sentence structure:

• Although + subject + verb, main clause.

• Example: "Although it was raining, we went for a walk."

• Note: The clause with "although" can appear before or after the main clause.

Translation: aunque, a pesar de

My sentences: Although I was sick, I went to the school
