介词是一种用来表示词与词, 词与句之间的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )关系的词。在句中不能单独作句字成分。介词后面一般有名词代词或相当于名词的其他词类,短语或从句作它的宾语。介词和它的宾语构成介词词组,在句中作主语, 状语,表语,补语或介词宾语。例如:
Most of the students went to the classroom. 大部分学生去了教室。
We play basketball on the sports ground. 我们在操场上打蓝球。

He sang merrily as he was working.
②till、until均表示“到…… ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )时候止”,肯定句中的谓语必须是延续性动作。如:I worked till late at night.若主句谓语是终止性动词,则主句要用否定形式,意为动作“到……才……”开始发生。如:

注意:till和until通常情况下可以互换,只是在句首时until比till更常用。
③though、although均引导让步状语从句,意为“虽然……”,although较正式,though最常用。如:
Thouth (Although)he was tired,he kept on working.
注意:though、although引 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )导的从句不能与but、however连用,但可以与yet、still连用。though还可以与别的词结合使用,如even though、 as though,而although则不能这样搭配。
