二、语法点清单
连词
1. because, since, as, for表示原因的区别
because, since, as 都是表示“原因”的从属连词,引导原因状语从句;而“for”也表示原因,引导的是并列句。语气由强至弱一次为:because, since, as, for。
(1) because表示直接原因,它所指的原因一般是听话人所不知道的,语气最强。常用来回答why的提问,一般放在主句之后,也可以单独存在。例如:
---Why are you late? 你为什么迟到了?
--- Because I missed the early bus. 因为我错过了早班车。
(2) since侧重主句,从句表示显然的或者已为人所知的理由,常译为“因为,既然”,语气比because稍弱,通常置于句首,表示含有一种勉强语气的原因。例如:
Since everybody is here, let’s begin. 既然大家都在这里,我们开始吧。
(3) as是常用词,它表示的原因是双方已知的事实或显而易见的原因,或者理由不是很重要;比since语气弱,没有since正式,常译为“由于,鉴于”。从句说明原因,主句说明结果,主从句并重。例如:
As I was not ready, they went without me. 由于我没有准备好,他们没有带我去。
(4) for表明附加或推断的理由,其后的分句不能放句首,语气最弱。例如:
It mush have rained last night, for the ground is wet. 昨晚一定下了雨,因为地面是湿的。
2. 常见连词(and, but, or, so)的用法
二.并列连接词用法
连接并列的词、短语、从句或句子。
and(和)
but(但是)
or(或者,否则)
so(所以)
however(然而)
for(因为)
as well as(也)
both..and...(...和...)
not only ...but also...(不但…而且…)
either… or…(或…或…)
neither… nor…(既不…也不…)
连词用法示例与解析:
(1)“ and”
1. He got up and left the room.
2.He went to Kunming and I went Harbin last year.
3.Work hard, and you will do well in the exam.
(2)“or”
1.Tom or I am right. (or连接两个名词或代词做主语时谓语动词依照后面的词而定)

特别用法: 句型 “祈使句, or…”= If you don’t …, you will…
3.Hurry up, or you will miss the bus.
4.Put on your clothes,or you will catch a cold.
5.Be quick, or you will be late for school.
特别用法:在否定句中否定并列成分时,用or,而不用and。例如:

2. She is tired but happy.
3. I came here not for myself but for my son.

(4)“for”

2. I like both sports and music.
特别用法: both…and…的否定句表示部分否定。

二、语法点清单
连词
1. because, since, as, for表示原因的区别
because, since, as 都是表示“原因”的从属连词,引导原因状语从句;而“for”也表示原因,引导的是并列句。语气由强至弱一次为:because, since, as, for。
(1) because表示直接原因,它所指的原因一般是听话人所不知道的,语气最强。常用来回答why的提问,一般放在主句之后,也可以单独存在。例如:
---Why are you late? 你为什么迟到了?
--- Because I missed the early bus. 因为我错过了早班车。
(2) since侧重主句,从句表示显然的或者已为人所知的理由,常译为“因为,既然”,语气比because稍弱,通常置于句首,表示含有一种勉强语气的原因。例如:
Since everybody is here, let’s begin. 既然大家都在这里,我们开始吧。
(3) as是常用词,它表示的原因是双方已知的事实或显而易见的原因,或者理由不是很重要;比since语气弱,没有since正式,常译为“由于,鉴于”。从句说明原因,主句说明结果,主从句并重。例如:
As I was not ready, they went without me. 由于我没有准备好,他们没有带我去。
(4) for表明附加或推断的理由,其后的分句不能放句首,语气最弱。例如:
It mush have rained last night, for the ground is wet. 昨晚一定下了雨,因为地面是湿的。
2. 常见连词(and, but, or, so)的用法
二.并列连接词用法
连接并列的词、短语、从句或句子。
and(和)
but(但是)
or(或者,否则)
so(所以)
however(然而)
for(因为)
as well as(也)
both..and...(...和...)
not only ...but also...(不但…而且…)
either… or…(或…或…)
neither… nor…(既不…也不…)
连词用法示例与解析:
(1)“ and”
1. He got up and left the room.
2.He went to Kunming and I went Harbin last year.
3.Work hard, and you will do well in the exam.
(2)“or”
1.Tom or I am right. (or连接两个名词或代词做主语时谓语动词依照后面的词而定)

3.Hurry up, or you will miss the bus.
4.Put on your clothes,or you will catch a cold.
5.Be quick, or you will be late for school.
特别用法:在否定句中否定并列成分时,用or,而不用and。例如:

特别用法: both…and…的否定句表示部分否定。
