The Congress dances, but it does not progress vs The Congress dances but it does not progress

Both phrases are correct, but they differ in punctuation usage. The first phrase includes a comma before the conjunction 'but,' while the second phrase does not. The comma in the first phrase is optional and depends on the writer's preference for a slight pause before the contrasting conjunction 'but.'

The Congress dances, but it does not progress

This phrase is correct. The comma before 'but' is optional and can be used for a slight pause before the conjunction.

This phrase is used to contrast two actions or ideas, indicating that while the congress may be active in one aspect (dancing), it is not making progress in another.

  • The team plays well, but it does not win.
  • She sings beautifully, but she does not perform in public.
  • He studies hard, but he does not get good grades.
  • The company invests in technology, but it does not innovate.

The Congress dances but it does not progress

This phrase is correct. The absence of a comma before 'but' is also acceptable in English.

Examples:

  • He works hard but he does not succeed.
  • She speaks French but she does not understand Spanish.
  • The cat sleeps all day but it does not catch mice.
  • They travel often but they do not explore new places.
  • The plant grows well but it does not flower.
