How do use but in an asking sentence?

Answer 1

I want to ask if you like me, but before you answer I want to let you know that I really like you.

I wanted the new dress, but it did not fit me.

She tried, but the stew just did not taste good.

Answer 2

You can use "but" in an asking sentence to present two contrasting ideas or choices. For example, "Would you like coffee or tea for breakfast, but could I offer you juice instead?" This structure helps to present options while highlighting a preference or suggestion.
