Seperti yang dapat kita lihat dari namanya, ‘connectors of contrast’ berfungsi untuk menghubungkan dua kalimat yang bertentangan. Contoh ‘connectors of contrast’: although, even if, though, even though, despite/in spite the fact that, however, nevertheless.
1) ‘Although’: berarti walaupun, meskipun.
‘Although’ digunakan jika suatu peristiwa sudah selesai dilakukan/terjadi. Bisa juga untuk mempertentangkan suatu hal yang terjadi di luar kebiasaan.
Contoh:
  • Although you bought her an expensive gift, Tiara still haven’t forgiven you.
  • I’m still hungry although I just ate.
2) ‘Even if’: berarti sekalipun. ‘Even if’ digunakan jika kejadian tersebut masih di pikiran/belum dilakukan (berandai-andai).
Contoh:
  • Even if you bought her an expensive gift, Tiara still wouldn’t forgive you.
3) ‘Though’: artinya sama dengan ‘although’, hanya saja digunakan untuk situasi yang lebih informal. ‘Though’ juga bisa digunakan di akhir kalimat.
Contoh:
  • Though you bought her an expensive gift, Tiara still haven’t forgiven you.
  • I just ate, I’m still hungry though.
4) ‘Even though’: memiliki arti yang sama juga dengan ‘although’ tetapi memberikan kesan penekanan yang lebih tegas.
Contoh:
  • Even though you don’t like Mr. Rudi, you should try to be nice to him.
5) ‘Despite/in spite the fact that’: arti dan penggunaan sama dengan ‘although’.
Contoh:
  • Despite the fact that (In spite the fact that) you bought her an expensive gift, Tiara still haven’t forgiven you.
6) ‘However’: berarti bagaimanapun, biarpun, akan tetapi. ‘However’ juga digunakan jika pertentangan yang terjadi sudah dapat diprediksi sebelumnya.
Contoh:
  • I can understand everything what you have said. However, I am totally against it.
7) ‘Nevertheless’: artinya sama dengan ‘however’ tetapi penggunaannya bersifat lebih formal; digunakan untuk hal yang mengejutkan,tidak biasa.
Contoh:
  • The tortoise was much slower than the hare. Nevertheless, it won the race.
Ingat fellas, jika ‘although’, ‘even if’, ‘though’, ‘even though’, ‘despite/in spite the fact that’ digunakan untuk menggabungkan 2 kalimat menjadi 1 kalimat, ‘however’ digunakan untuk menghubungkan 2 kalimat yangg terpisah. Jangan lupa untuk membubuhkan tanda koma (,) setelah penulisan ‘however’ dan ‘nevertheless’ di awal kalimat kedua.
