I was wondering if any native speakers could tell me some useful phrases for writing essays which may be helpful. For example,
One on hand
Otherwise
In contrast
It may be the case that
On the contrary
these are just examples please add any more phrases that you think would be helpful for writing essays of various types.
many thanks

One on hand - do you mean 'on the one hand... on the other hand'? If so, then: "de l'un côté...[fact/opinion]... de l'autre côté ... [other fact/opinion]
Otherwise - as a conjunction, "sinon", also "autrement"
In contrast - "par contraste" ("par contraste avec.." = in contrast to)
It may be the case that - "il se peut que..." is probably the closest equivalent
On the contrary - "au contraire" or "contrairement"

i'm purely in French I, yet i understand some words? i wish it's going to help, i will submit them incase it does, if it does not, i'm relatively sorry. De rien - you're Welcome D'accord - skill ok ouais - "Yeah" - i does no longer say this to an grownup even with the indisputable fact that, that's considered "known", so which you may say it to pals/equals. Mon oeil! - actually skill "My eye!", in English it may well be like "Yeah precise!". J'ai faim - i'm hungry. J'ai soif - i'm thirsty J'aime - i admire Je n'aime pas - i do in contrast to Uh... i wish I helped. once you're in an more advantageous point of French and you already understand this, sorry.

Go and buy a copy of 501 French Verbs (in W H Smith, Waterstones, etc) it has many of these useful phrases and other excellent examples.
The TACK organisation produced some guidance booklets on French, Spanish and German.
Good Luck
