Learn to use "Although ------ yet" correctly
Although ------ yet
Use of 'Although ------ yet'
1) 'Although ------ yet' is used to express two opposite qualities or actions of a person.
2)
Although is always followed by
yet.
Example:
1)
Although she is very intelligent,
yet she is not able to get through the entrance exam.
Remember the simple formula shown below:
| Although | Subject | Verb/HV | 1stQuality | yet | Subject | Verb/HV | 2ndQuality |
|---|
| Although | she | is | very intelligent | yet | she | is | not able to get through the entrance exam |
From the above example we deduce that:
1) In the above sentence, 'intelligent' and 'not getting through the entrance exam' are two contrasting qualities because, whenever a person is intelligent, the chances of him/her getting through the exam become higher.
2) The word 'yet' should never be replaced with 'but'.
3) This conjunction cannot be used to show two similar qualities or actions.
Examples:
a) Incorrect: Although he is innocent but everyone suspects him.
Correct: Although he is innocent yet everyone suspects him.
