Nasıl kullanılır

The preposition 'but' is commonly used to indicate a contrast or exception in a sentence. For example, 'I wanted to go to the beach, but it was raining.' In formal writing, 'but' is often used to introduce a concession or a qualification. However, in informal writing, it's not uncommon to see 'but' used as a conjunction to connect two clauses. One common mistake learners make is using 'but' to start a sentence, which can make the sentence sound abrupt or even rude. A more polished way to phrase it would be to rephrase the sentence to avoid starting with 'but'.
