A perhaps stronger and more formal alternative to “but” is the compound conjunction “yet”. Although not used as frequently as “but” in casual conversation, “yet” is used commonly to contrast ideas in more formal speech (e.g. debating, speeches or presentations) and in persuasive writing.
In this 23-page no preparation pack, we demonstrate the use of “yet” as a conjunction to communicate contrast, with a variety of scaffolded sentences.
Featuring pictures and orthography, this pack is designed for people of all ages who need practice in using “yet” to improve their speech or writing (or both).

In this 500+ page workbook, we teach students of all ages to write compound sentences featuring the FANBOYS coordinating conjunctions. The acronym FANBOYS (‘for’, ‘and’, ‘nor’, ‘but’, ‘or’, ‘yet’, & ‘so’) – is a useful way to learn and remember coordinating conjunctions.
In our workbook, we define compound sentences and explain the different functions of each coordinating conjunction. We then provide lots of scaffolded sentence models, sentence-combination practice, and independent practice to help students acquire and automate the skill.
