1. coordinating conjunction, which gives equal importance to the words or sentences that it
connects.
There are seven coordinating conjunctions: but, or, so, and, yet, for, nor.
 I like coffee, but my wife prefers tea.
 Would you prefer coffee or tea?
 I’ve drunk six cups of coffee today, so I’ve got a headache.
 I take milk and sugar in my tea.
 He’s seventy-two, yet he still swims, runs and plays football regularly.
 She must have been very hungry, for she ate everything immediately.
 Switzerland is not in the European Union, nor is it a member of NATO.
The word but (other than) is one of the seven coordinating conjunctions in English (the others
are and, or, so, for, nor, and yet). It's used to connect two statements that contrast or contradict
each other in some way
While but can be used to contrast two statements, it can also be used in the
construction “not this but that.” For example:
 It wasn’t a drought but more of a dry spell.

When do I use a comma?
According to standard grammar, a comma is used before a coordinating
conjunction to connect two independent clauses.
An independent clause is a clause with both a subject and a verb so that it can
stand on its own. If the second clause does not contain a subject, then no
comma is needed.
 He liked the meal, but not the dessert. (No comma)
 He liked the meal, but didn’t like the dessert. (No comma)
 He liked the meal, but he didn’t like the dessert. (Here, the subject is
listed both times, making both clauses independent. A comma is
appropriate.)

3. However, this is a rule that not many native speakers are aware of. Most people
will place commas according to where they would naturally make a small pause
while speaking.
