While, whereas, on the other hand

Post by nuni »

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.

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.
