BUT is used to add a partly contradictory phrase or an exception to a sentence. "It sounds like a good deal, BUT make sure you read the fine print carefully". " (- Steven Wright) In each case, the part AFTER the BUT is used to QUALIFY the first part of the sentence, by offering a contradictory (or PARTLY contradictory) caution or warning.
