'however' vs 'although'

In this video

I’m gonna answer one of your questions in

talk.zabanshenas.com.

this is the question:

‘however’ and ‘although’

both have similar meanings.

They both loosely mean ‘but’.

The difference between these two

can be a struggle for many native

and non-native English speakers.

The biggest difference between these two

is that however can be used

at the beginning of a sentence,

whereas ‘although’ cannot.

The two words have very similar meanings.

Although means

“in spite of the fact that…”

and however simply means ‘but’.

An easy way to remember when to use

‘although’ and ‘however’ is

that the word however

is used at the beginning

and middle of a sentence with a comma after it,

and although is used in mid sentence.

Although doesn’t always require a comma.

How to use However in a Sentence?

However is used to contradict a statement.

It has basically the same meaning as ‘but’.

Let us have a look at some good examples

to see how it is used.
