However. In the meaning nevertheless, not to come first in its sentence or clause.
Poor:
- The roads were almost impassable. However, we at last succeeded in reaching camp.
Better:
- The roads were almost impassable. At last, however, we succeeded in reaching camp.
When however comes first, it means in whatever way or to whatever extent.
- However you advise him, he will probably do as he thinks best.
However discouraging the prospect, he never lost heart.
