23 juin 2017 · But If it is correct, maybe Its meaning is different from (1). In my opinion, Sentence (3) means that I brought my luggage, what was in my hand is called "luggage", it is not called "passport". it has the same syntax with: (4) The thief brought a knife not a gun. (some witnesses say that the thief brought a knife, but, after investigating, the ...
25 mai 2012 · There's nothing but a few crumbs left in the tin. None but the brave deserve the fair. However, this last example is already rather removed from modern everyday English, and the reply " There is no one but speaks Japanese in Japa n" is even further away. In brief: Negative + but + noun/pronoun is OK; Negative + but + verb is old-fashioned.
5 sept. 2023 · Your “ to ” in parentheses is misleading, since it would be wrong to add it. In each case the semi-modal verb – need or dare – applies to both bare infinitives. He need do nothing but wait. He dare do nothing but lie. Modal use, so to-infinitive doesn’t work: . He need to do nothing but wait. He dare to do nothing but lie.
31 mars 2010 · Garbuz said: I understand 'can't help doing' is used to say that you can't supress your internal impulse, and 'can't but do' that you can't resist the circumstances. But sometimes this concept doesn't work. How about this sentence: They insisted that I sign the contract, and I couldn't but do it.
29 août 2014 · To me, the second version is wrong because you've chosen the wrong punctuation. Here's how I would punctuate those sentences: The exam was difficult. I think I did well, though. I don't see anything wrong with the first version. If you wanted to avoid using "but" and "though" in the same sentence, you could use "though" or "although" by itself ...

17 oct. 2006 · It's rather an aside, but I never use the # key for this purpose on my phone. But only official abbreviation is no. (from Latin). Others are just pure shortcuts, even though in Europe you see Nbr. or Nr. quite often I think (In French, we would still write Nbre for instance!) There is no single official abbreviation.
12 nov. 2015 · Nov 12, 2015. #1. Hello everyone, I already know that "except" (meaning: with the exception of) can be used in the example I made below. My question: does "but" sound natural/correct in the example with the same meaning? ''We don't have any good soccer players any more but João Pereira.''. Meaning intended: all our players are bad except João ...
Yes, hectacon, "but since/because" is possible. You should have a good reason for doing this. Here's an example where I think "but since" is justified: He really didn't like sports, but since he was tall, he chose to play basketball.
11 sept. 2007 · Oct 19, 2006. #2. "Sorry for insisting" means you realize now that you shouldn't have insisted, and you regret it.

It's usually followed by the word "but."
