| Jan 24, 2018 at 0:20 | comment | added | JavaLatte | @Sungil, the sentences that you wrote are not clear because you have probably not used enough determiners ""a"* and the: Compare SovereignSun's versions with your own. In addition, none of the clauses that you wanted to add at the end work in that position. See SovereignSun's explanation.**, unlike a dry oven** would work in that position. | |

| Jan 23, 2018 at 12:23 | comment | added | Sungil | @JavaLatte Do you mean that all of the sentences I wrote in the question are wrong? Or grammatically acceptable but have different meaning? | |
| Jan 23, 2018 at 12:23 | comment | added | Sungil | @SovereignSun Thank you very much! It is really helpful. | |
| Jan 23, 2018 at 12:17 | comment | added | SovereignSun | @JavaLatte Sorry, yes, you're right. | |
| Jan 23, 2018 at 12:16 | comment | added | JavaLatte | @SovereignSun: that should be "isn't the case for B". | |
| Jan 23, 2018 at 12:14 | comment | added | JavaLatte | @Sungil, None of the other words that you suggested provide the same meaning as unlike in the sentence in your question. | |
| Jan 23, 2018 at 12:13 | comment | added | SovereignSun | "Because of its large particle size, applications of A are much limited, whereas those of B aren't." or "Because of its large particle size, applications of A are much limited, which isn't the case for B." | |

| Jan 23, 2018 at 12:08 | comment | added | Sungil | For example, "Because of its large particle size, applications of A are much limited" are important content, and I want to compare at the end of this sentence like: "unlike B." | |
| Jan 23, 2018 at 12:07 | comment | added | SovereignSun | There is in fact | |
| Jan 23, 2018 at 12:06 | comment | added | Sungil | Thank you very much! However, isn't there other ways to contrast at the end of the sentence as I intended firstly? Because the content of the characteristic I want to explain is important and comparing is secondary. | |
