but for Were it not for: except for: We would have reached the summit but for the weather.[Middle English, from Old English būtan; see
in .]Usage Note:
Traditional grammarians have worried over what form the pronoun ought to take when but is used to indicate an exception in sentences such as No one but I (or No one but me) has read it. Some have argued that but is a conjunction in these sentences and therefore should be followed by the nominative form I. However, many of these grammarians have gone on to argue somewhat inconsistently that the objective form me is appropriate when the but phrase occurs at the end of a sentence, as in No one has read it but me. In fact, there is a strong case for viewing but as a preposition in all of these constructions. For one thing, if but were truly a conjunction, the verb should agree in person and number with the noun or pronoun following but, and so the verb should always be plural when the noun or pronoun following but is plural. It would thus be correct to say No one but the students have read it, even though no one is normally treated as a singular. What is more, a conjunction cannot be moved to the end of a clause, as a prepositional phrase can be, as in No one has read it but the students. By comparison, the conjunction and cannot be repositioned in this way. That is, it is not grammatical to say John left and everyone else in the class. For these reasons it seems best to consider but as a preposition in these constructions and to use the objective forms of pronouns such as me and them in all positions. A large majority of the Usage Panel agreed with this policy as long ago as 1988, when only 17 percent accepted No one has read it but I, and 30 percent accepted No one but I has read it. The use of me was acceptable to 70 percent of the Panel when the but phrase preceded the verb, and to 90 percent when the but phrase followed the verb. · But is redundant when used together with however, as in But the army, however, we one or the other word should be eliminated. · But is generally not followed by a comma. Correct written style requires Kim wanted to go, but we stayed, not Kim wanted to go, but, we stayed. · But may be used to begin a sentence at all levels of style. See Usage Notes at , , , ,

usage: When
is understood as a conjunction and the pronoun following it is understood as the subject of an incompletely expressed clause, the pronoun is in the subjective case: Everyone lost faith in the plan but she (did not lose faith). In virtually identical contexts, when
is understood as a preposition, the pronoun following it is in the objective case: Everyone lost faith but her. The prepositional use is more common. When
and its following pronoun occur near the beginning of a sentence, the subjective case often appears: Everyone but she lost faith in the plan. See also and, doubt, than. butYou use but to introduce something that contrasts with what you have just said.1. used to link clausesBut is usually used to link clauses.It was a long walk but it was worth it.I try to understand, but I can't.You can put but at the beginning of a sentence when you are replying to someone, or writing in a conversational style.'Somebody wants you on the telephone.' – 'But nobody knows I'm here.'I always thought that.

Cheltenham Festival runner No Buts bids to make it third time lucky at the Midlands track - he has finished second and third at the course - but will need to start sharper than he did last time.But note, seven of the last 10 winners had run at Cheltenham in March and none of the above three were anywhere close.That knocked a few stats into touch, but he did look the progressive horse going into that race.Les Panameens n'ont pas fait de detail face aux Cubains qui atteignaient ce stade de la competition pour la deuxieme fois: ils ont etabli un nouveau record de buts pour un quart de finale de Gold Cup.Keogh confirmed: "There was always a number of ifs and buts - mostly buts, when Paul agreed to join, but it does give us another option.Also, Marcus Cassel has secured the right cornerback spot and will start against San Diego State, but Trey Brown and Rodney Van continue to compete for the left cornerback slot.Heinlein was a kind of socialist, no ifs, ands, or buts about it, during the period that he wrote For Us, the Living," Silver says.When setting your goals, don't be afraid to reach, but remember to be realistic.Le Raja devra au moins s'inspirer du nouveau promu, le Mouloudia d'Oujda, qu'il a battu difficilement lors de la journee ecoulee sur un but marque dans les derniers moments de la rencontre.L'equipe representant la region du Gharb-Chrarda-Beni Hssen a remporte, samedi, la premiere edition du "Tournoi national de la sante 2013", en battant en finale l'equipe de la region du Grand Casablanca sur le score de 5 buts a 2.I would have liked us not to have lost the 10 points and had another go but that's ifs and buts and there's no use in looking back now.I recall a friend telling me one day that I was fond of the word "but", as in "that was a good something-or-other but.
