1. 含义
用来连接词与词、短语与短语以及句子与句子的虚词叫作连词。
连词在句中不能单独作句子成分,一般不重读。
连词按照性质可分为两类: 并列连词和从属连词。其中and、
but属于并列连词,because属于从属连词。
并列连词是用来连接语法地位相同的单词、短语以及句子的
连词。主要用来表示并列关系、转折关系、因果关系及选
择关系。
Summary : Conjunction 连词 (and, but 和because)
2. 用法:
and
意为“和; 与”,可根据具体语境进行翻译,也可不译,起承上
启下的作用。
She likes to listen to music and draw pictures.
她喜欢听音乐和画画。
拓展
(1) 用作并列连词,可以连接并列的单词、短语或句子。
Drive slowly and carefully.
小心,慢点开车。
Come here and you can have a good time.
来这里,你会玩得开心。
易错:
在否定句中要把and 变为or。
I like apples and oranges.
我喜欢苹果和橙子。
I don’t like apples or oranges.
我不喜欢苹果和橙子。
注意
当and连接两个独立句子时,通常要在and前加逗号。
A
She loves reading books, and he enjoys watching movies.
当and连接三个或三个以上元素或短语时,需要在and前加上逗号。
B
I bought apples, oranges, and bananas.
but的基本用法
but的意思是“但是,可是,而”,用来引出相反意见或不同情况。表示转折关系。
E.g. Lily likes the erhu but doesn’t like the violin.
Mary likes the violin, but Tom doesn’t.
He isn’t a teacher but a doctor.
在but连接的句子中,如果but后面某些成分与前面相同,则可以省略。
but
意为 “但是; 然而”,用来引出相反意见或不同情况。连接两
个并列的成分或句子时,语气较强,在意义上构成明显的对
比。与前一分句可用(可不用)逗号,与后一分句不用逗号。
The woman is old, but she looks very young.
这个女人年龄大了,但她看起来非常年轻。
I had asked everyone but only two people came.
我邀请了所有人,但只有两个人来了。
because的基本用法
because的意思是“因为”,用来引导原因状语从句,强调直接造成某种结果的理由和原因后面接句子。
E.g. She didn’t go there, because she was ill.
Because I was tired, I went to bed early.
because后面接句子!!!
注意
回答Why问句时,只能用because。
A
A: Why are you late?
B: Because it’s raining hard outside.
汉语中,我们经常说“因为......所以......”,但在英文中有了because,就不能再用so。
B
Because he was tired, he couldn’t walk here.
Because he was tired, so he couldn’t walk here.
because
意为 “因为”,用来引导原因状语从句,强调直接造成某种结
果的理由和原因。
因为我太忙,所以我不能同你一起出去。
Because I am very busy, I can’t go out with you.
=I am very busy, so I can’t go out with you.
because还可以用来回答由why引导的特殊疑问句。
一Why are you late? 你为什么迟到了?
一Because I got up late. 因为我起晚了。
because
和so
不能同时使用
Mary can dance well, _____ she can’t sing very well.

Report
on the survey
Jack’s favorite day at school is Wednesday. He really enjoys it because he can take his Math and art classes on that day. John loves Math because of its logical challenges. Art can bring him some creative ideas. His best friend Tom enjoys the same subjects, too. These subjects can help them appreciate the balance between problem-solving and imagination together.
It shows that having different classes for everyone to enjoy is important, and helps kids learn better when they work together.
