When that happens, the comma preceding the conjunction might also disappear: "The visitors complained loudly yet continued to play golf every day.". Yet is sometimes combined [r]

so and therefore are connectors that show a result and have the same meaning, but different in function; so is coordinating conjunction (connect two words, phrases or clauses at the compound sentences must take a comma before Therefore is

transitional word (link independent sentences or even paragraphs, must followed by a comma to show that it is not a part of the sentence

both "yet" and "however" can signify contrasts, but "however" is a more general or neutral contrast-signal Using "yet" creates a meaning that shows the contrast is slightly or somewhat unexpected

Look at this example:

"I told her and told her not to it that way Yet she continues to so." In that statement, the "told her and told her not to" builds up the idea that we

could/should expect the person not to, but then the person did it - and this is surprising or against our expectation

Using "however":

"I told her and told her not to it that way However, she continues to so." In this case we still have the contrast, but it doesn't show anywhere near as strongly that we find the resulting contrast unexpected or illogical It is very neutral

I guess "yet" shows more of the writer or speaker's opinion (or what the

writer/speaker expects other people's opinion to be), that the following contrast is not what we expect or might predict

"However", on the other hand, simply shows a contrast, without much opinion or judgment from the writer

Be careful of the conjunction SO Sometimes it can connect two independent clauses along with a comma, but sometimes it can't For instance, in this sentence,

 Soto is not the only Olympic athlete in his family, so are his brother, sister, and his Uncle Chet

where the word so means "as well" or "in addition," most careful writers would use a semicolon between the two independent clauses In the following sentence, where so

is acting like a minor-league "therefore," the conjunction and the comma are adequate to the task:

 Soto has always been nervous in large gatherings, so it is no surprise that he avoids crowds of his adoring fans

So, the sheriff peremptorily removed the child from the custody of his parents The word YET functions sometimes as an adverb and has several meanings: in addition ("yet another cause of trouble" or "a simple yet noble woman"), even ("yet more expensive"), still ("he is yet a novice"), eventually ("they may yet win"), and so soon as now ("he's not here yet") It also functions as a coordinating conjunction meaning something like "nevertheless" or "but." The word yet seems to carry an element of distinctiveness that but can seldom register

 John plays basketball well, yet his favorite sport is badminton

 The visitors complained loudly about the heat, yet they continued to play golf every day

In sentences such as the second one, above, the pronoun subject of the second clause ("they," in this case) is often left out When that happens, the comma preceding the conjunction might also disappear: "The visitors complained loudly yet continued to play golf every day."
