连词

连词在句中的作用是把词与词、短语与短语、句子与句子连接起来。它不能在句中单独作句子成分。

知识点概述

并列连词和从属连词的用法

连词是连结单词、短语、从句或句子的虚词， 在句子中不单独作句子成份。

连词按其性质可分为：

1.并列连词 如：and, or, but, for,等， 连接并列的词与词，短语与短语，句子与句子。

如：Rice and potatoes are common foods. (词与词)

Today we can travel by plane. (短语与短语)

Many trees lose their leaves in winter, but evergreen trees do not. ( 句子与句子)

关联连词是一类成对使用的连词

如：both……and……, not……but…….

notonly……but also…… not only…but… as well

either……or…… neither……nor……

关联连词必须后接同样的语法结构。

如：Either the windows were opened or the door was opened.

2.从属连词 如：that, whether, when, because, though 等， 用以引导名词性从句和状语从句。

3.从属连词引导的从句不可以被断成一个句子。如果断开，就错了。

如：When the alarm clock rang.(不完整)

4. though (although)引导让步状语从句，because 引导原因状语从句， 所以though(although)不能和并列连词but ，because 不能和并列连词 so一起使用。只能单独使用。
