在英语中,连接词(conjunctions)用于将两个或多个句子、短语或从句连接在一起。
它们可以帮助表达因果关系、对比、并列等关系。以下是一些常见的初中英语连接词:
1. 并列连接词(Coordinating Conjunctions):用于连接两个同等地位的词、短语或从句。例如:and, but, or, so, yet, for, nor。例句:I like apples and oranges.
2. 从属连接词(Subordinating Conjunctions):用于引导从句,表示主句和从句之间的逻辑关系。例如:because, although, if, though, since, while, after, before, as, until, when, where, why。例句:Although it was raining, we went out to play.
3. 关联连接词(Correlative Conjunctions):成对出现,用来连接两个相互依赖的词或短语。例如:either...or, neither...nor, not only...but also, both...and, whether...or。例句:Not only did he finish the work, but also he did it well.在写作时,恰当地使用连接词可以使句子更加流畅,并帮助读者更好地理解句子的结构。
