What is the difference between but and yet in English?
We use But and Yet as a conjunction which joins words or group of words in a sentences.
@LessonsUz
Commonly many people use ‘Yet’ as a substitute of ‘But’ but it is not all correct. There is thin line between ‘But’ and ‘Yet’. We need to find the differences between ‘But’ and ‘Yet’. But before I explain ‘But’ and ‘Yet’ I want to tell the definition of a ‘Conjunction’.
The definition of ‘Conjunction’ is ;
“The conjunction is the part of speech used as a “joiner” for words, phrases, or clauses in a particular sentence.”
A simple literary example of a conjunction: "the truth of nature, and the power of giving interest" (Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Biographia Literaria).
‘But’ and ‘Yet’:
@LessonsUz
As a Conjunction ‘But’ and Yet are interchangeable but not always. One is often substituted for the other to avoid repetition of such of same words.
To suggest a contrast that is unexpected in light of the first clause:
To suggest in an affirmative sense what the first part of the sentence implied in a negative way:
To connect two ideas with the meaning of "with the exception of" (and then the second word takes over as subject):
Yet:
Yet is used in negative sentences and questions to talk about the things that has not happened but that you expect to happen.
Yet is a ‘Conjunction’ which means ‘Nevertheless’ or ‘However’.
Yet is the contrast or despite of something.
@LessonsUz
The word YET functions sometimes as an adverb and has several meanings: in addition of 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")
Examples:
He was fat, and yet he was fast.Yet here they all unite. Christmas was only a few days away, and yet it didn't seem like Christmas. Smartphones of Samsung are bought more than iPhone yet iPhone more lovable than Samsung. It's a small car, yet it's surprisingly spacious. The weather was cold and wet, yet we had a great time.

Larch trees in the permafrost forests of northeastern China – the northernmost tree species on Earth are growing faster as a result of climate change, according to new research. A new study of growth rings from Dahurian larch in China’s northern forests finds the hardy trees grew more from 2005 to 2014 than in the preceding 40 years. The findings also show the oldest trees have had the biggest growth spurts: Trees older than 400 years grew more rapidly in those 10 years than in the past 300 years, according to the new study.The study’s authors suspect warmer soil temperatures are fueling the growth spurts by lowering the depth of the permafrost layer, allowing the trees’ roots to expand and suck up more nutrients. The increased growth is good for the trees in the short-term but may be disastrous for the forests in the long-term, according to the authors. As the climate continues to warm, the permafrost underneath the trees may eventually degrade and no longer be able to support the slow-growing trees. No other tree species can survive the permafrost plains this far north, so if the larch forests of northern Asia disappear, the entire ecosystem would change, according to the study’s authors.

Rutgers researchers have identified a siesta-suppressing gene in fruit flies, which sheds light on the biology that helps many creatures, including humans, balance the benefits of a good nap against those of getting important activities done during the day. Many animals take midday naps, or siestas, that are more intense on warm days – probably an evolved protection against exposure to the hot noontime sun, according to the study published in the journal Current Biology. In humans, short naps help with memory and learning, but too much daytime sleep is associated with diabetes, Parkinson’s and other diseases.The researchers at Rutgers’ Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine found a gene in Drosophila flies that, when temperatures are cool, activates to suppress the flies’ tendency to take a daytime nap – presumably so they can spend additional time seeking food or mates. The researchers named the gene “daywake.” “This gene contributes to behavioral flexibility, or the ability to hide from the noontime sun when weather is hot but engage in activities good for survival when the weather is cool. That probably helped these flies expand beyond their ancestral home in equatorial Africa to successfully colonize temperate zones around the world,” said co-author Isaac Edery, a professor at the Rutgers center.

While sifting through the bacterial genome of salmonella, Cornell food scientists discovered mcr-9, a new, stealthy jumping gene so diabolical and robust that it resists one of the world’s few last-resort antibiotics. Doctors deploy the antibiotic colistin when all other infection-fighting options are exhausted. But resistance to colistin has emerged around the globe, threatening its efficacy. “This last-resort antibiotic has been designated a highest-priority antibiotic by the United Nations’ World Health Organization, and the mcr-9 gene causes bacteria to resist it,” said Martin Wiedmann, Cornell’s Gellert Family Professor in Food Safety and senior author on the study published May 7 in the journal Mbio. “In treatments, if colistin does not work, it literally could mean death for patients. If colistin resistance spreads, a lot of people will die.” Co-lead author Laura Carroll, a computational biologist and Cornell doctoral candidate, found mcr-9 in the genome of a strain of foodborne pathogen salmonella. Because the DNA sequence of the mcr-9 gene was similar to other genes that could cause bacteria to resist colistin, she suspected that the salmonella strain which carried mcr-9 was colistin-resistant. To her surprise, the salmonella strain failed to show colistin resistance. Knowing that the mcr-9 gene could jump to other bacteria or organisms, her colleague, senior research associate Ahmed Gaballa, a microbiologist and co-lead author, inserted the gene into a nonpathogenic strain of the bacterium E. coli. Gaballa was able to “turn on” mcr-9, making the E. coli strain resistant to colistin. That showed Carroll was initially correct. “When we originally tested the salmonella isolate and found that it wasn’t resistant to colistin, we were perplexed,” Carroll said. “But when Ahmed cloned it into an E. coli host, he was able to find that the gene could confer resistance to colistin.” Mcr-9 is the latest in this new series of “mobilized colistin-resistance” genes – originally discovered in 2015.

Checkpoint inhibitor drugs that stimulate the immune system have become a growing success story in the treatment of some cancers. But about half of patients whose tumors are marked by a large number of mutations from so-called mismatch repair genetic deficiency fail to respond to the drugs. Now, researchers from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, its Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say they have found a potential explanation for the failures. Mismatch repair deficiency refers to a characteristic of some cancer cells that create a large number of mutations, or changes, in certain genes when their mismatch repair proteins are unable to correct mistakes made when DNA is copied and passed on to daughter cells. Tumor cells with many such mutations create what is known as microsatellite instability and a worsening inability to correct those DNA mistakes. And, because defective genes can cause both inherited and noninherited (or sporadic) forms of cancer, they are used as biomarkers for diagnostic screening and chemotherapy treatment planning. In a new study of such tumors in mice and humans, the investigators say they discovered that the tumors most likely to respond to immunotherapy have a higher degree or intensity of microsatellite instability (MSI) than tumors with lower MSI, meaning the former tumors possess a higher degree of DNA alterations after repeated cell divisions over time. In particular, the researchers report, they have a higher amount of insertion/deletion, or indel, mutations of the DNA building blocks compared to other tumors. Indel mutations involve a series of nucleotides, or genetic “letters,” either inserted into the genetic code or removed during cell division. They can potentially generate neoantigens, or new proteins in cancer cells that the immune system can recognize and destroy. A description of the new work is published in the May 3 issue of the journal Science.

What kinds of hobbies are common in your country?
Well actually, there is quite a mixed type of hobbies that are common in my country.
Yet, I imagine that the most popular one (pass time activity) would probably be reading books. The thing with reading is that it is a good way to enhance worldview and enrich life experience.
In addition to this, the second widespread hobby may well be travelling. The unique aspect of this kind of hobby is that there are a lot of sightseeing places that are worth to visit in my country.
There are the usual things like collecting coins, swimming, listening to music, but they are not as usual as the two I mentioned above.

You should say:
what kind of course it is where you would do this course how you would take this course
and explain how you would benefit from taking this course.
Model Answer:
If I get time I would like to learn the computer graphics designing course. It is a combination of learning some theoretical aspect of graphics designing and then hands on Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. These two are widely used image editing and graphics designing tools that emphasising on computer design and website designing.
I would like to get admitted in (...say an institution name...) who offers a professional course on graphics designing. They have a good reputation of teaching the course participants accurately and effectively. Since I have offices/ classes till the evening, I would like to enrol in the evening course that starts after 7.00 pm. The course fee is reasonable and I would have the option to pay the fees in 3-4 installments and that would be very convenient for me.
This should not be a very difficult course for me as I already have some background on computing and graphics designing. But I will have to concentrate on the course and maintain the regularity. This course would be a 6 months course and that's why I will have to adjust my time during this 6 months period. Another thing that required a course participant is to practice a lot. Since this is a creative task and the course teacher would show us how to do something, the course takers have to work hard to improve their skills and creativity.
This course would be helpful for me to do better in my career. Graphics design is required for many jobs and knowing it would be a great advantage for me. Besides, If I can become a prominent graphics designer, I would be able to work for clients from different countries as a freelancer beside my day job.

Grinded or Ground – Which is Correct?
Most English verbs are regular, which means they follow a clearly delineated set of conjugation rules. Some, though, are irregular—they are conjugated in unpredictable ways that are not usually constant across words.
Grind is one such verb. It becomes ground in the past tense, in much the same way that find becomes found.
What about grinded, though? You may have seen this word appear in print sources if you are an English major or are fond of perusing 19th-century spice catalogs. However, as a modern writer, you only have one real choice in your own work.
What is the Difference Between Grinded and Ground?
In this article, I will compare ground vs. grinded. I will use outline the correct conjugation of this verb and use it in various example sentences, so that you can see it in context.
Then, I will show you a mnemonic device that makes choosing grinded or ground much easier.
When to Use Ground
grinded versus ground What does ground mean? Ground is the past tense conjugation of the verb grind. To grind is to crush something into smaller particles through continuous physical force.
Coffee beans are ground into fine particles before having hot water poured over them to brew coffee. Peppercorns are also ground before being added to food to intensify its flavor.
Here are a few more examples,
The victim was unidentifiable because the killer had ground his bones into a fine powder and scattered them alongside the interstate.
The recipe calls for half a tablespoon of ground mustard seed, but I don’t like mustard, so I used turmeric instead.
Coffee grounds or coffee grinds? As a coffee drinker, your coffee beans are ground into coffee grounds, not coffee grinds.
Here’s an example,
Coffee die-hards know better. They know the best cups — those full-bodied brews that balance acidity, sweetness and bitterness, without the off-flavors of over- or under-extraction — can be achieved only with the proper water temperature, the proper brew period and the proper ratio of grounds to water. –The Washington Post
Of course, ground has other meanings. As a noun, it means the earth, for instance. Those meanings are important, but they are not relevant to the distinction between ground and grinded.
When to Use Grinded
What does grinded mean? Grinded is a mistaken conjugation of the verb grind when grind means to crush something into particles.
coffee grinds or grounds
The above chart graphs grinded vs. ground over the past 200 years. I have isolated the words’ use as verbs by charting the phrases ground down and grinded down.
As you can see, ground is the only standard conjugation of this verb; grinded sees virtually no use whatsoever.
As I mentioned above, grind is an irregular verb, which means it doesn’t follow the regular rules used by most verbs in English.
Here are some ways to conjugate grind:
I/we grind: first person singular and plural present
You grind: second person singular and plural present
He/she/it grinds: third person singular present
They grind: third person plural present
Grinding: present participle
Ground: simple past
Grinded is a legitimate conjugation in a different sense, however. There is a type of dance known as grinding, where grinded is the correct past tense. This, however, has nothing to do with ground.
Trick to Remember the Difference
If you are looking for the proper past tense of grind, there is only one correct choice.
Ground is the correct conjugation.
Ground is considered the standard inflection of this past tense verb by virtually everyone.
Since ground and found are both past tense verbs, you can use this rhyme to remember that ground is the best version of this word to use.
Summary
Is it ground or grinded? Ground and grinded are two variants of the past tense conjugation of the verb grind.
Ground is the correct past tense form.
Grinded is an improper conjugation, unless the reference is to dancing.

What about grinded, though? You may have seen this word appear in print sources if you are an English major or are fond of perusing 19th-century spice catalogs. However, as a modern writer, you only have one real choice in your own work.
What is the Difference Between Grinded and Ground?
In this article, I will compare ground vs. grinded. I will use outline the correct conjugation of this verb and use it in various example sentences, so that you can see it in context.
Then, I will show you a mnemonic device that makes choosing grinded or ground much easier.
When to Use Ground
grinded versus ground What does ground mean? Ground is the past tense conjugation of the verb grind. To grind is to crush something into smaller particles through continuous physical force.
Coffee beans are ground into fine particles before having hot water poured over them to brew coffee. Peppercorns are also ground before being added to food to intensify its flavor.
Here are a few more examples,
The victim was unidentifiable because the killer had ground his bones into a fine powder and scattered them alongside the interstate.
The recipe calls for half a tablespoon of ground mustard seed, but I don’t like mustard, so I used turmeric instead.
Coffee grounds or coffee grinds? As a coffee drinker, your coffee beans are ground into coffee grounds, not coffee grinds.
Here’s an example,
Coffee die-hards know better. They know the best cups — those full-bodied brews that balance acidity, sweetness and bitterness, without the off-flavors of over- or under-extraction — can be achieved only with the proper water temperature, the proper brew period and the proper ratio of grounds to water. –The Washington Post
Of course, ground has other meanings. As a noun, it means the earth, for instance. Those meanings are important, but they are not relevant to the distinction between ground and grinded.
When to Use Grinded
What does grinded mean? Grinded is a mistaken conjugation of the verb grind when grind means to crush something into particles.
coffee grinds or grounds
The above chart graphs grinded vs. ground over the past 200 years. I have isolated the words’ use as verbs by charting the phrases ground down and grinded down.
As you can see, ground is the only standard conjugation of this verb; grinded sees virtually no use whatsoever.
As I mentioned above, grind is an irregular verb, which means it doesn’t follow the regular rules used by most verbs in English.
Here are some ways to conjugate grind:
I/we grind: first person singular and plural present
You grind: second person singular and plural present
He/she/it grinds: third person singular present
They grind: third person plural present
Grinding: present participle
Ground: simple past
Grinded is a legitimate conjugation in a different sense, however. There is a type of dance known as grinding, where grinded is the correct past tense. This, however, has nothing to do with ground.
Trick to Remember the Difference
If you are looking for the proper past tense of grind, there is only one correct choice.
Ground is the correct conjugation.
Ground is considered the standard inflection of this past tense verb by virtually everyone.
Since ground and found are both past tense verbs, you can use this rhyme to remember that ground is the best version of this word to use.
Summary
Is it ground or grinded? Ground and grinded are two variants of the past tense conjugation of the verb grind.
Ground is the correct past tense form.
Grinded is an improper conjugation, unless the reference is to dancing.

As, because or since?
As, because and since are conjunctions. As, because and since all introduce subordinate clauses. They connect the result of something with its reason.
He decided to go to the conference in Barcelona, as he was in Spain anyway.
Are you angry with me because I opened the letter?
Bilardo coaches his team by telephone, (Bilardo was the coach of the Argentinian football team) since half of them play in Italy, France or Spain.
Because
Because is more common than as and since, both in writing and speaking. When we use because , we are focusing on the reason:
She spoke quietly because she didn’t want Catherine to hear.
We’ll come over on Sunday because David’s got to work on Saturday.
We often put the because-clause at the beginning of a sentence, especially when we want to give extra focus to the reason. We use a comma after the because-clause:
Because breathing is something we do automatically, we rarely think about it.
We can use a because-clause on its own without the main clause in speaking or informal writing:
Warning:
We don’t use a because-clause on its own in formal writing:
In 1998, the government introduced a new import tax because people were importing cars from abroad.
Not: … a new import tax. Because people were importing cars from abroad.
Cos
We often shorten because to cos /kəz/ or /kɒz/ in informal speaking and writing:
I’m laughing cos I’m so happy.
As and since
We often use as and since when we want to focus more on the result than the reason. As and since are more formal than because. We usually put a comma before since after the main clause:
[result]I hope they’ve decided to come as [reason]I wanted to hear about their India trip.
[result]They’re rather expensive, since [reason]they’re quite hard to find.
We often use as and since clauses at the beginning of the sentence. We use a comma after the as- or since-clause:
Since everything can be done from home with computers and telephones, there’s no need to dress up for work any more.
As everyone already knows each other, there’s no need for introductions. We’ll get straight into the business of the meeting.
We use because, not as or since, in questions where the speaker proposes a reason:
Are you feeling unwell because you ate too much?
Not: Are you feeling unwell since you ate too much?or … as you ate too much?
