みんなのしつもん (questions）３

• What are differences among 「Sが、〜」、「Sけど」、「S。でも、〜」?

We learned「Sが、〜」today as "but". There are other ways to say "but" in Japanese, and「Sけど」and「S。でも、〜」are two of them.

• 「Sけど」(L20): an informal equivalent of「Sが、〜」
• 「S。でも〜」(L12): "but"; the difference between「Sが、〜」and「S。でも〜」is how they connect two sentences. While「が」is directly attached to the preceding sentence, 「でも」must come after the finished sentence (i.e., sentence with a period).
More formal version of「でも」is「しかし」. It's probably used only in formal writing such as a report.
