But Rather
But rather shows contract, and it is used with nouns, pronouns, adjectives, and adverbs. Notice that the main clause in each of these is negative and that there is a comma (,) before the conjunction.
Noun: He doesn't need money, but rather love, since he is already a millionaire.
Pronoun: I don't want the blue one, but rather the red one.
Adjective: Don't paint the house red, but rather yellow, since all the others are light colored.
Adverb: They did not drive slowly to the hospital, but rather quickly, as the mother was about to deliver her baby.
