** +o"e,er/-e,ertheless ,s hereas ?o$eer/eertheless is used to state contrast meaning in the sentence $hich *ollo$s.
Use 'however' (followed by a comma) at the beginning of a sentence to contrast with the previous sentence:
Some people believe that schools are responsible for the behaviour of their students. However, others argue that discipline is the responsibility of parents. Use 'whereas' (after a comma) to contrast two ideas in the same sentence: •
Some people believe that schools are responsible for the behaviour of their students, whereas others argue that discipline is the responsibility of parents.
