英语中的连词是一种虚词,它可连接词与词或句与句,起连接的作用,但不承担句子成分。连词分从属连词和并列连词,从属连词引导从句,而并列连词连接两个互不依从的词、短语或分句。
and&orand和or是用得最多的并列连词,可以连接:
1.两个名词、形容词,以及两个并列的动词等。如:
Wouldyoulikebeeforfish?
Thelittlegirlislovelyandhelpful.
Theyweresinginganddancingallnight.
2.两个并列的短语。如:
Themanenteredhishouseandtookoffhiscoat.
3.两个并列的分句。如:
IsaiditandImeantit.
注意:
or连接分句还可表示“否则”。如:
Driveslowly,oryoumayhaveanaccident.
butbut表示意思的转折。如:
Mycousinpassedtheexam,butIdidn’t.
Itissunnybutcoldtoday.
Wearenotenemies,butfriends.
soso表示结果,意为“因此,所以”。如:
Therainbegantofall,sowewenthome.
注意:so和because不能连用。如:
Hewasill,sohedidn’tgotoschool.相当于
Hedidn’tgotoschool,becausehewasill.
