peer agreement (net): +5She may not be clever, but she's very beautiful. Explanation: "But" on its own may not be enough, but it works in conjunction with "may not be". The phrase "may not be" is often used in concessive clauses. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 27 mins (2018-05-25 14:55:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- More about concessive "may not" here: • Sally may not be the highest qualified, but she does have the most experience. (Although Sally isn't the highest qualified, she does have the most experience) • It may be a demanding job, but at least it's not boring. (Although it's a demanding job, at least it isn't boring) http://random-idea-english.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/exploring-... |
