"but" has two purposes. An example of it as a conjunction is"I was going to walk the dog ,but I got distracted by my video game." An exampe of but in a prepisitional phrase is " i got a jumprope for Christmas but my friend broke it. It is both a conjunction and a prepisiton at the same time. It is confusing but it is true. Hope this helped! :)
