Dear friends,
What is the difference among these conjunctions: while, whereas, on the other hand? Can we use those conjunctions in the same sentence?
Thank you for your help.
While, whereas, on the other hand

Re: While, whereas, on the other hand
often there's not much difference among these three.
context will determine the choice of which one to use.
sometimes such choices just depend on how it sounds.
