Hi Serey! Great question. When you are speaking live, you won't have time to think about the formula. That is why we practice it *before* the debate! The more you practice writing and saying these structures (like "If we banned X, Y would happen"), the more naturally they will come out when you speak. 🗣️
Is "nevertheless" the exact same as "but"?
They have a very similar meaning (contrast), but they are used differently! "But" is a simple conjunction that connects two parts of a single sentence. "Nevertheless" is an advanced transition word that usually starts a brand *new* sentence (or comes after a semicolon). "Nevertheless" sounds much more powerful in a debate! 💡
