OPPOSITE CONNECTORS: ON THE OTHER HAND: meaning and examples

Hello. Today we will continue with our look at connectors that contrast opposite or contradictory ideas. Today's connector is: on the other hand It is used: to give another ("contrastive") point of view. Example 1 Your sister is starting to look old. On the other hand, she is still very beautiful. Example 2 I think expanding the company is a good idea. On the other hand, it would be a shame to lose the "family" atmosphere that we have been able to maintain over the years. Example 3 Janet is really doing a great job in the finance department. On the other hand, I think she is a little too ambitious? Sometimes we use the more-informal expression then again instead. Example 4 Janet is really doing a great job in the finance department. Then again, I think she is a little too ambitious? If you have any questions about on the other hand, please post them in the Daily Vitamin Plus! forum section on our website. Enjoy the rest of your day!
