But 連接詞
But當連接詞時,意思是但是;不過;然而。同為連接詞的and和or是平行的語氣,可是but是轉折語氣喔!
But例句

Nor 連接詞
Nor意思:也不(通常會和neither一起出現),下方舉例nor用法,以及易混淆的and、or用法:
1. 「A and B」A跟B都是,搭配both變成both A and B
2. 「A or B」不是A就是B,搭配either變成either A or B
3. 「A nor B」 不是A也不是B,搭配neither變成neither A nor B
Nor例句

Though 連接詞
Though = even though = although
意思皆為雖然,though後面接的句子不能單獨存在,必須依附另一個句子。
