  ❶- We can use IN- UN- and DIS to make words with opposite meanings.
EX: Injustice – Ingratitude – Unarmed – Unhappy – Disrespect – Dishonor.
 ❷- For linking sentences and ideas we can use however and instead.
However is used with an adjective or adverb to mean ‘to whatever degree’ It is also a way of saying ‘BUT’. EX: they fought in the same wars together. They were not treated equally.(However)
They fought in the same wars together; however they were not treated equally.
Instead means’’ in the place of somebody or something.’’ EX: the general used the French army to attack the Tirailleurs Sénégalais. He did not help them. (Instead)
Instead of helping the Tirailleurs Sénégalais, the general used the French army to attack them.                                  
 EX2: the general used the French army to attack the Tirailleurs Sénégalais instead of helping them.
