Excellent question, Sovan! "But" is a coordinating conjunction (informal/neutral) used to join two clauses in one sentence. "Nevertheless" is an adverb (very formal/academic) used to start a *new* sentence or clause to show a surprising contrast. 🎓

Yes, you can! Starting a concluding paragraph with "Thus," or "Therefore," is a very strong way to summarize the result of the arguments you made in the previous paragraphs. Just don't forget the comma! ✍️
