Look at the Sentence Builder.
although
尽管,虽然
原因状语从句
结果状语从句
让步状语从句
Now let’s move on to the sentence builder.
Let’s read the sentences first.
带读句子
Now let’s look at the words underlined. 翻页
他们都属于连词。
because 表示因为,so表示所以,翻页 所以第一组句子为原因状语从句和结果状语从句。
although意为尽管,虽然,翻页 but意为但是,所以第二组句子和第三组句子为让步状语从句。翻页
Now, let’s study these three pairs of sentences one by one.
e.g. He went to the doctor. He was sick.
He went to the doctor because he was sick.
He was sick, so he went to the doctor.
1. Bones are important because they help us move freely.
Bones help us move freely, so they are important.
Look at the Sentence Builder.
Let’s read the first two sentences.
Bones are important because they help us move freely.
Bones help us move freely, so they are important.
Do these sentences have the same meaning? Yes
What are the differences between the sentences?
第一个句子是用because连接前后两个部分,翻页 第一个部分是bones are important,表示结果,第二部分是they help us move freely, 表示原因,所以我们知道because后面接原因。
第二个句子是用so连接前后两个部分,翻页 第一个部分是bones help us move freely, 第二部分是they are important,表示结果,所以so后面接表示结果的部分。
同学们是不是还注意到so前面有逗号,翻页 而because前面没有标点符号,这就是这两个句子第二个不同点。
此外,老师还要强调一点,because和so不能出现在同一个句子中。同学们都记清楚了吗?
Now can you make sentences with because or so like these?
For example 翻页
He went to the doctor. He was sick. How can we join these two sentences with because or so.
翻页 we can say he went to the doctor because he was sick.
or he was sick, so he went the doctor.
2. Although we get vitamin D from food like fish and
eggs, we can also get it from the sun!
We get vitamin D from food like fish and eggs but we
can also get it from the sun!
Now let’s look at the second pair of sentences.
Although we get vitamin D from food like fish and eggs, we can also get it from the sun!
We get vitamin D from food like fish and eggs but we can also get it from the sun!
Do these sentences have the same meaning? Yes
What are the differences between the sentences?
第一个句子的连词是although,翻页 并且位于句首。
第二个句子的连词是but,翻页 位于句中。
当我们用but连接两个分句时,前后两个句子要用逗号隔开。
当我们用although连接两个分句,且although位于句首时,前后两个分句也要用逗号隔开,但是当although位于句中时,前后两个分句不用逗号隔开。
此外,还需要强调一点,although 和but不能在同一个句子中出现。
e.g. I don’t exercise. I’m never sick.
I don’t exercise, but I’m never sick.
Although I don’t exercise, I’m never sick.
I’m never sick although I don’t exercise.
Now let’s look an example and try to join these two sentences with although or but.
The first sentence is I don’t exercise. The second sentence is I’m never sick.
How can we join them?
we can say like these. 翻页
I don’t exercise, but I’m never sick.
Although I don’t exercise, I’m never sick.
I’m never sick although I don’t exercise.
Bones are hard on the outside, but they’re soft on the
inside.
Although bones are hard on the outside, they are soft
on the inside.
Now, let’s read the last pair sentences.
Bones are hard on the outside, but they’re soft on the inside.
Although bones are hard on the outside, they are soft on the inside.
同学们注意划线单词,翻页 翻页 以及这两个单词的意思和句中位置,回顾一下我们在第二组句子讲解中提到的语法点。
