第八讲:连词
专题概述:
连词连接词与词、词组与词组或句子的桥梁。它是英语单词、词组和句子的逻辑符号,属于并列关系的词、词组、句子由并列连词连接,而从属连词用采连接两个有主从关系的句子。
语法考点:
1. 并列连词:并列连词用来连接平行的词、短语或句子;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。
2. 从属连词:从属连词是用来引导从句的词。
连词(Conjunction)
是一种虚词,它不能独立担任句子成分而只起连接词与词,短语与短语以及句与句的作用。连词主要可分为4类:并列连词.转折连词.选择连词和因果连词。连词也可以分为2类:并列连词和从属连词。
表示并列关系的并列连词
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.

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'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。
表示转折关系的并列连词
【注意】
1.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。
