However and nevertheless
I know that nevertheless is used in a very formal register, and in the written language.
Any other differences? |

e.g. an aderb meaning 'no matter how': However much you beg, the answer is no. However can also mean nevertheless. If so, it is always followed by a comma, and also preceeded by one if in the middle of a sentence: Although your argument makes no sense, nevertheless you may have a point. Although your argument makes no sense, however, you may have a point. I think we have been over this before, and others have disagreed. |

As mentioned before however has more meanings that nevertheless. The important thing to know that however usually means but (pero).
Nevertheless means sin embargo/ no obstante.

No, it doesn't. You do, however, need a comma before the however.

When I was in school it used to be very popular to read some letters circulating in the schools of my city in which there were maybe a paragraph or two and two versions of the same prose but with different punctuation... You happen to know of any in English, or Spanish for that matter? |
