英語中的連詞是一種虛詞,它可連接詞與詞或句與句,起連接的作用,但不承擔句子成分。連詞分從屬連詞和并列連詞,從屬連詞引導從句,而并列連詞連接兩個互不依從的詞、短語或分句。
and&orand和or是用得最多的并列連詞,可以連接:
1.兩個名詞、形容詞,以及兩個并列的動詞等。如:
Wouldyoulikebeeforfish?
Thelittlegirlislovelyandhelpful.
Theyweresinginganddancingallnight.
2.兩個并列的短語。如:
Themanenteredhishouseandtookoffhiscoat.
3.兩個并列的分句。如:
IsaiditandImeantit.
注意:
or連接分句還可表示“否則”。如:
Driveslowly,oryoumayhaveanaccident.
butbut表示意思的轉折。如:
Mycousinpassedtheexam,butIdidn’t.
Itissunnybutcoldtoday.
Wearenotenemies,butfriends.
soso表示結果,意為“因此,所以”。如:
Therainbegantofall,sowewenthome.
注意:so和because不能連用。如:
Hewasill,sohedidn’tgotoschool.相當于
Hedidn’tgotoschool,becausehewasill.
