HOWEVER = 'and even though the last statement is true ('I like dogs'), this is the exception'||||| So, it is true that I like dogs, but I'm giving an example which I feel would make it sound like I don't like dogs. ||||This explanation is confusing; however, it's possible you might understand||||| It was very cold; however, the sun shone brightly||||| I studied for six hours; however, I learned absolutely nothing\\\\\ HOWEVER - 'on the other hand', 'but', - you use HOWEVER if you're contradicting a statement you just made.
