5課 接続と会話
Connect sentences and conversations
接続：Sentence 1。でも、sentence 2
But; however. Opposing conjunctions are often used in conversation.
注意 / Note：Do not use でも to connect directly after a clause like an auxiliary; When connecting directly, use が／けど.
使い分け / How to choose quickly：Use when: Say “but” naturally in conversation
Wonder: Are you speaking informally or in short sentences?
Avoid: Don't put でも between two clauses like an auxiliary
Tip to remember: Definitely start a new sentence
Check again: Break the sentence then “でも、…”
