and paragraphs.
 Example
The public transport in this city is unreliable and it’s cheap.

The public transport in this city is unreliable but it’s cheap.

• There are two cohesive devices in the sentences above: ‘and’

and ‘but’. Both give the reader different signals and change the
meaning of the sentence.
• The first sentence tells the reader that ‘it’s cheap’ is simply
being added to the previous information, however, the second
sentence tells the reader that they are giving a contrasting
opinion to the first part of the sentence by using the word ‘but’.

• In other words, the second sentence is saying ‘it’s

unreliable (which is bad) but the good thing about it is
it’s cheap.
