1、连词,连词的功能 用来连接词,短语,从句或句子的词叫连词。连词是一种虚词,在句中不能单独使用。连词可分为两类:并列连词和从属连词。,并列连词 并列连词用来连接具有并列关系的词,短语或句子。常见的并列连词有: (1)表并列关系的and, bothand, not onlybut also, neithernor等。 (2)表选择关系的or, eitheror等。 (3)表转折关系的but, while等。 (4)表因果关系的for, so等。,从属连词 从属连词用来引导从句。常见的从属连词有: (1)引导时间状语从句的after, before, when, while, as, until,
2、till, since, as soon as等。 (2)引导条件状语从句的if, unless等。 (3)引导原因状语从句的because, as, since等。 (4)引导目的状语从句的so that, in order that等。 (5)引导让步状语从句的though, although, even if等。 (6)引导结果状语从句的so that, sothat, suchthat等。 (7)引导比较状语从句的than, asas等。 (8)引导宾语从句的that, if , whether等。,常用连词的用法辨析 (1) while, when, as,这三个连词都可引导时间状语
3、从句,但用法有所不同。 1) 当某事正在进行的时候,又发生了另一件事。While, when, as 都可用来引导表示“背景”的时间状语从句。例如: As/When/While I was walking down the street I noticed a police car. 2) 当两个长动作同时进行的时候,最常用的是while。例如: While mother was cooking lunch, I was doing my homework. 3) 当两个动作都表示发展变化的情况时,最常用的是as。例如: As children get older, they become m
4、ore and more interested in things around them.,4) 当两个短动作同时发生时,或表示“一边一边”时,最常用as。例如: Just as he caught the fly, he gave a loud cry. She looked behind from time to time as she went 5) 当从句的动作先于主句的动作时,通常用when。例如: When he finished his work, he took a short rest. 6) 当从句是瞬间动作,主句是延续性动作时,通常用when。例如: When John
5、 arrived I was cooking lunch.,(2)as, because, since , for,这四个词都可表原因,但用法有区别。 1) 如果原因构成句子的最主要部分,一般用because。因此,because引导的从句往往放在句末。例如: I stayed at home because it rained. -Why arent you going? -Because I dont want to. .,2) 如果原因已被人们所知,或不如句子的其它部分重要,就用as或since。Since比as稍微正式一点。As和since 引导的从句一般放在句子的开头。例如: As
6、he wasnt ready, we left without him. Since I have no money, I cant buy any food. 3) for用来补充说明一种理由,因此,for引导的从句几乎可以放在括号里。For引导的句子不放在句子的开头。例如: I decided to stop and have lunch-for I was feeling quite hungry.,(3)if, whether if和whether都可作“是否”讲,在引导宾与从句一时般可互换。例如: I wonder whether (if) you still study in th
7、at school. I dont know whether (if) he likes that film. 在下列情况下,只能用whether,不能用if: 1) 引导主语从句时。例如: Whether he will come to the party is unknown. 2) 引导表语从句时。例如: The question is whether I can pass the exam. 3) 在不定式前。例如: I havent made up my mind whether to go there or not.,(4)sothat, such.that 1) sothat中的
8、so是个副词,其后只能跟形容词或副词,而such.that中的such是个形容词,后接名词或名词短语。例如: Im so tired that I cant walk any farther. It was such a warm day that he went swimming. 2) 如果在名词之前有many, much, little, few时,用so,不用such。例如: He has so little education that he is unable to get a job. I have had so many falls that I am black and bl
9、ue all over.,(5)eitheror, neithernor, not onlybut also 这三个连词词组都可连接两个并列成分。当它们连接两个并列主语时,谓语动词要随相邻的主语变化。(就近原则)例如: Either you or he is wrong. Neither he nor his children like fish.Not only the teacher but also the students want to buy the book.,(6)although, but 这两个连词不能用在同一个句子中。例如:我们不能说“Although he is ove
10、r sixty, but he works as hard as others.” 这个句子应改为: Although he is over sixty, he works as hard as others. 或He is over sixty, but he works as hard as others.,(7)because, so 这两个连词同样不能用在同一个句子中。例如:我们不能说“Because John was ill, so I took him to the doctor.” 这个句子应改为 Because John was ill, I took him to the d
11、octor. 或John was ill, so I took him to the doctor.,【实例解析】,3. (2004年吉林省中考试题)-I like riding fast. Its very exciting.-Oh!
