    This document discusses various English connectors used to indicate contrast or addition. It provides examples of contrast connectors like "although", "even though", "though", "despite", and "in spite of" as well as additive connectors such as "furthermore", "moreover", "besides that", "and also", "and", and "above all". Formal connectors like "however" and "nevertheless" are also examined alongside connectors used to draw conclusions like "so", "therefore", "as I've said", "based on", "as a conclusion", "to conclude", and "summing up".
