Can be a conjunction, as in he stumbled but did not fall'. Can also be a preposition as in 'we were never anything but poor.' Can be an adverb as in 'but a shadow of his former self'. Can be a noun as in 'no buts, just leave'

The word "but" is a coordinating conjunction that is used to introduce a contrasting element or idea in a sentence. It is part of the sentence structure and does not belong to any specific part of speech.
