However in Argument Structure

Started by LSATChris · started 2019-09-17 19:28 · last activity 2019-09-26 22:13 · 3 replies

I have notice the word "however" in a few of the argument structure" questions. How do the test makers define this word or how do the test takers mean its use?

    Hi @LSATChris, However is used to introduce a statement that contrasts with or seems to contradict something that has been said previously. For example: She was smart. However, she didn't get good grades. Dolphins are mammals. However, they don't have bodies covered in hair or fur. Sam has a crush on Sally. However, Sally is dating Chad. Words like: Nevertheless, still, yet, although, and notwithstanding are all used similarly. "However" can be used in premises that provide support, intermediate conclusions or final conclusions. It's role depends on context. Hope this helps!
