New York City.5. Although he said he was ill, yet I saw

1. while的用法
1) 表示对比, 意为“而; 然而”。
2) 引导时间状语从句, 意为“当……时候;
在……期间”, 强调某一段时间内主句
和从句的动作在同一时期发生, while
从句中的动词通常是持续性动词。3) 引导让步状语从句, 意为“虽然, 尽管”,
多放在句首。2. although的用法
although为从属连词, 意为“虽然, 尽管”, 引导让步状语从句。注意以下两点:
1) although在多数情况下可与though通
用, 在正式文中, though可用于一种不
以其为首的让步状语从句, 须以形容
词、名词或动词(原形)等开头。整个从句须置于主句之前。这时although不能替换though。

so, however等连用, 但可以和副词yet,

4. He hasn’t arrived. He may, however,
come later.【总结归纳】but与however都表示 “但是, 然而”, 都可以引导并列句, 但二者用法有些区别。
1. 从语义上看, but所表示的是非常明显
的对比, 转折的意味较however要强。2. 从语法上看, but是个并列连词, 而
however是个连接副词。
3. 从语序上看, but总是位于它所引出的
分句之首, 而however却可位于分句之
首、之中或之尾。
4. 从标点上说, but之后一般不使用逗号,
但however则通常用逗号与句子其他部
分分开。Although developed countries are rich,
