![]() ![]() The so conjunction means something like therefore and for this reason. As with but, there is a contrast between the clauses, for example: I have known him for a long time, yet I have never understood him. It means something like but at the same time but nevertheless but in spite of this. We use the for conjunction (meaning something like because) to join two clauses when the second clause is the reason for the first clause, for example: He felt cold, for it was snowing. (Note the inversion of subject and auxiliary: did she.) for ![]() In this case both clauses are untrue or do not happen, for example: Mary never wrote the letter, nor did she call him. We use the nor conjunction to join two alternative clauses when the first clause uses a negative such as neither or never. We use the or conjunction to join two alternative clauses, for example: Will Mary go, or will John go? nor We use the but conjunction to introduce a clause that contrasts with the preceding clause, for example: Mary ran fast, but she couldn't catch John.
