	We can combine 2 sentences with opposite ideas into one by adding the word but. Words that join 2 sentences are called conjunctions. When you use the word but, a comma is usually needed before the conjunction.
				example:  I looked for my watch on the table. It was not there.                 I looked for my watch on the table, but it was not there.
