And/ or/ but/ so

In English, to make a link between two things in a sentence, we can use conjunctions. We will see 4 of them: and, or, but, so.

We use and to add something else on what we already said or to show a logical progresyon of what has been said before : I’ll pray and sing; I’ll get married and have children; I  am hungry and thirsty.

We use or to make a choice between two things: You need to choose if you want to dress in black or white; Would you prefer to have a boy or a girl ? I still don’t know if I want to work for a company or to create my own one.

We use but to make an opposition between two ideas: I like pineapples but I don’t like bananas; She likes cinema but he likes theater; I like the snow but I don’t like winter.

We use so, to make a conclusion of what was previously said: So, I decided to marry this man; I was very late, so I took a taxi.
