概述
连词是一种虚词,它是用来连接单词、短语或句子的词,在句中不能单独作句子成分。连词按照性质可以分为并列连词和从属连词。并列连词引导并列句,从属连词引导从句。初中要求掌握的从句有宾语从句、状语从句与定语从句。

both…and两者都 (两者都强调,谓语动词为复数) Both Tom and I are students.
not only…but (also) 不但…而且 (强调后者,就近原则) Not only Tom but also I am a student.
neither…nor 既不……也不…… (就近原则) Neither you nor he is a student.
as well as, with , together with 也 (强调前者,就远原则) The students as well as their class teacher come here.

3) 表示转折或对比
a. but表示转折,while表示对比

b. not…but… "不是……而是……"
4) 表示因果关系
a. for是并列连词,不能置于含两个并列分句的句子的句首,只能将其放在两个分句中间
b. so, therefore
2. 从属连词

时间状语从句中的连词 用法
when 当…的时候
while ①当……时 表示主从句的动作同时发生, while后引导的状语从句的动词必须是持续动词或状态,用进行时;也允许主从句都用进行时。 ②表示对比,解释为“而”
as soon as 一…..就……(主将从现)
since 自……以来,到现在 主句动词必须是持续动词,一般用现在完成时,从句用一般过去时。
till / until till在口语中用的较多,句首一般用until,而不用till。 They walked till /until it was dark. (主句动词是持续动词) Xiao Ming didn’t leave home till / until his father came back. (主句动词是瞬间动词)
b. 条件状语从句中的连词:if, unless(=if…not)
a) 时态:主将从现(当主句是将来时的时候,从句要用一般现在时表示将来的动作)
b) 主句+ if/unless连接的条件状语从句,可以和“祈使句+ and/or连接的并列句”互换
如: Work hard, or you won’t catch the other students.
=Unless you work hard, you won’t catch the other students.
= If you don’t work hard, you won’t catch the other students.
c. 原因状语从句中的连词:because, since, as, now that

表示双方已知的事实或理由,强调未发生的结果。

表示双方已知的事实或理由,强调已发生或经常发生的结果。
