    I think a very useful one is whereas plainly because it helped me out in the debating !

  2. George

    Connectives such as whereas and however are very useful when countering someone in a debate. If you want to go for the more direct approach try using words like but and alternatively.

  3. melo

    But, although, on the other hand, never the less and much more.

  4. Marshall

    On the other hand,Although and But
