A2 - yet and moreover
Yet can be used as an adverb as well as a co-ordinating conjunction. Let’s look at its function as a conjunction.
yet as conjunction
Yet is similar in meaning to but. But is a co-ordinating conjunction used to contrast two statements:
They can speak Arabic but they can’t read or write it.
He tried to book a holiday on Bali, but he didn’t have enough money to pay for it.
We use yet as the preferred alternative to but when we want to emphasise that contrast to achieve a stronger effect:
She can play the piano very well, yet she can’t read music at all.
The yachtsman had lost all sense of direction, yet he refused to give up in his attempt to cross the Atlantic.
We sometimes put and in front of yet when it is used in this way or use even so as an alternative to yet or and yet:
She can play the piano very well, and yet she can’t read music at all.
The yachtsman had lost all sense of direction. Even so, he refused to give up in his attempt to cross the Atlantic.
