连词
中考考察重点：
1、并列连词；
2、从属连词。
并列连词用来连接平行的词、短语或句子；从属连词是用来引导从句的词。并列连词按照其在句中的作用可分为表示并列关系、转折关系、选择关系和因果关系的连词。
一、表示并列关系的并列连词
表示并列关系的常见连词有：and (和；又；而且), as well as( 也 ； 和 ), both...and...( 既……又……), not only...but also...( 不仅……而且……), neither...nor... (既不……也不……)。
连词 用法 例句
but 意为＂但是＂，表示意义递进的转折或前后两个事实相反。 His mother won’t be there, but his father might.他母亲不会去那里，但他父亲也许会去。
while 意为＂但是，然而＂，强调对比性的转折。 I like English while he likes math.我喜欢英语而他喜欢数学。
yet 意为＂可是；然而＂，表示转折时，前面可与and连用，且这两个部分的主语是一致的。 I failed again, and yet I never give up.我又失败了，然而我绝不放弃。
We are singing and they are dancing. 我们在唱歌，他们在跳舞。
I’m learning French as well as English. 我学法语，还学英语。
Not only English but also French is spoken in Canada. 在加拿大，人们不仅说英语，而且说法语。
二、表示转折关系的并列连词
although或though在引导让步状语从句时，主句不可使用转折连词but，但是可以使用yet或still。
Although she is in poor health，(yet) she works hard.虽然她的身体不好，但是她工作非常努力。
2.however 意为＂然而，不过＂，可放在句首、句中或句末，不能像but那样直接连接两个句子，常用逗号与句子其他部分隔开。
(×)We all tried our best, however we lost the game.
(√)We all tried our best.However, we lost the game.
(√)We all tried our best, but we lost the game.

考查连词。Although虽然；but但是。分析“…he is 72 years old…he keeps running every day.”可知，前句表示“虽然”，用although连接；英文关联词二选一，不能同时出现，故选B。
三、表示选择关系的并列连词
连词 意义 例句
or 或者；否则 Hurry up, or you will be late. 快点，否则你会迟到的。
or else 否则；要不然 Be careful or else you will make a mistake. 小心，否则你将会犯错误。

since since语气比as稍强，不表示直接的或根本的原因，而是一种已知的或非常显然的理由，since引导的从句通常位于主句之前。 Since everyone is here, let’s start.既然大家到齐了，我们就出发吧！
as as是从属连词，表示原因时，语气最弱，所说的原因比较明显或是已知的事实，它引导的从句一般位于主句之前。 We all like her as she is kind.我们都喜欢她，因为她善良。

并列连词用来连接平行的词、短语或句子；从属连词是用来引导从句的词。并列连词按照其在句中的作用可分为表示并列关系、转折关系、选择关系和因果关系的连词。
一、表示并列关系的并列连词
表示并列关系的常见连词有：and (和；又；而且), as well as( 也 ； 和 ), both...and...( 既……又……), not only...but also...( 不仅……而且……), neither...nor... (既不……也不……)。
连词 用法 例句
