When do we use 그런데? Isn't it supposed to mean "anyway, by the way, however"? If the word is "but", doesn't 하지만 suits better?
하지만, 그러나, and 그런데 (as but) are synonymous. 그런데 is the most common in spoken language.

when should we use 너무 and 많이? In one sentence, it made me to use 많이 in front of 비싸요 and it marked 너무 as wrong, so I thought, may be 많이 is used express expensiveness, but seeing this sentence it really confuses me, could you please make me clear?
@Joes - it is 비싸요 that means expensive, 많이 does not mean expensive. It means "very". 너무 means "too" (as in too much, not as in me too). Hence both can be used with 비싸요. The former means "very expensive" and the latter "too expensive".
그런데 can be used to mean anyway, by the way, or but, and I like to think of it sort of like "on the other hand" as that seems to make sense in most scenarios -correct me if I am wrong.
