Take the 2-minute tour ×  Is it grammatically permissible by the
rules of Standard English for the coordinating conjunction ‘yet’
to follow a subordinating conjunction? For example, take the
sentence:  Although it is early, yet still I must rise.  This
seems to make sense and be correct to me, but if I substitute
another coordinating conjunction, say ‘but’, it no longer seems
so:  Although it is early, but still I must rise.  It seems that
the semantics of ‘but’ are what create a problem here, though
instead of the grammar, but I can't seem to form any valid
subordinating + coordinating sentence except if I use ‘yet’, so
I'm not sure.  share|improve this question I may be at risk of
sounding a fool here, but I don't understand why you'd want to
use both. The example you provide is awkward and redundant, and
would work better with only one conjunction. –  crisis.sheep Jul
