But that/they
Hi, there
Hi, there
Should I use “BUT THEY” or “BUT THAT” in this sentence:
Today we are going to talk about the pronunciation of 30 brands THAT exist in Brazil but THEY/THAT are pronounced differently in English”?
Thank you

Hi Fernando,
You can say "but are" (omitting that/they) or "but that are". "But that" is used for emphasis when something is certain or to mean "except."

Hi Fernando
You can use either of these options
-'Today we are going to talk about the pronunciation of 30 brands that exist in Brazil but are pronounced differently in English' (if there is no punctuation such as a dash or a comma after the word 'Brazil', it is fine to just use 'but'.
- 'Today we are going to talk about the pronunciation of 30 brands that exist in Brazil but that are pronounced differently in English'
I hope this helps
Jimmy
