Yet
Hi,
Is a conjunction required when there are long phrases instead of words? He was talking to his son, a boy who had a lot of money (and) yet little discretion. (is (and) necessary?)
2) We often say: no wonder he did this. Can we also say little wonder, small wonder etc.? Do we need (that) in such cases? Recently, I read somewhere: Little marvel that he admitted the truth.
3) He moved from side to side. Is this okay or must it be he moved side to side (without from). Is a hyphen necessary?
4) Can we start a line with nor or neither? He wasn't angry. Nor/neither was his brother.
Thanks,
