超棒复习笔记:一起认识连词与连接副词!

各位超级小学生,你好!

你们有没有玩过LEGO积木,组装过一些东西呢?是不是要用到一些小小的“连接件”才能将它们黏实,组装在一起呢?在英语中,我们也有一些很特别的字,可以将我们的意思和句子“黏”在一起。在语法上,我们称它们为连词(conjunctions)连接副词(linking adverbs)(有时亦称为 linking words 或 connectives)!

在这份笔记中,我们会学如何用这些很神奇的“词语胶水”,来构建出结构严谨的并列复合句(compound sentences)和主从复合句(complex sentences)。


并列连词:用“And”、“But”和“So”连接意思

并列连词(Co-ordinating conjunctions)可以将两个同等重要且独立的主句或意思连接起来,组成一个并列复合句。

1. 用“And”补充资料

And 用来连接两个相似的意思,或者补充额外的资料。

- I like apples. I like bananas.
变成了...
- I like apples and bananas.

- Tom is tall and strong.

2. 用“But”表达相反意思

But 通常放在句子中间,用来连接两个形成对比或相反的意思。

- I want to play outside, but it is raining.
- She is small, but she is very strong.

3. 用“So”表达结果

So 将一个动作与其结果或后果连接起来。

- It was very sunny, so we went to the beach.
- I was hungry, so I ate a sandwich.

重点摘要

Andbutso 是并列连词,用来连接句子中地位对等的部分。


从属连词:“Because”、“Although”、“So That”和“Even If”

从属连词(Subordinating conjunctions)用来将主句(main clause)与从句(subordinate clause,即提供原因、条件或目的等额外资料的从句)连接起来。

1. 用“Because”解释“为什么”

Because 用来带出事情发生的原因或理由。

- I am happy because it's my birthday!
- I brought an umbrella because it looked like rain.

2. 用“Although”表达出乎意料的转折

Although 用来带出令人意想不到的对比。它可以放在句中或句首。当它放在句首时,前面的从句结尾记得要加上逗号!

- Although he was tired, he finished his homework.(放在句首的从句后加上逗号)
- We had fun at the picnic, although the weather was not great.

3. 用“So That”表达目的

So that 用来解释做某个动作的目标或目的(这与表达结果的 so 是不同的喔)。

- I saved my pocket money so that I could buy a new toy.(目的)
- Please be quiet so that the baby can sleep.

4. 用“Even If”设定强烈的条件

Even if 表示无论出现什么情况或条件,结果都一定会发生。当放在句首时,记得在该从句后加上逗号!

- Even if it rains, we are still going to the football match.
- He wouldn't eat the broccoli, even if you covered it in chocolate!

标点小贴士

当从属连词放在句首时(例如以 Although...Even if... 开头),请在该开头从句的末尾加上逗号


连接副词:“However”和“Therefore”

HoweverTherefore 并不是连词;它们是连接副词(衔接词 cohesive devices)。它们用来连接两个独立完整的句子,后面通常会紧跟着一个逗号

1. 用“However”表达强烈的转折对比

However 是一种较为正式的用法,用来在两个完整句子之间表示对比。

- It was very cold. However, we still went swimming.

2. 用“Therefore”表达正式的结果

Therefore 用来在句子之间带出正式的结论或结果。

- He studied very hard. Therefore, he got a good grade on the test.

总结图表

并列连词: and(补充/递进)、but(对比/转折)、so(结果)
从属连词: because(原因)、although(让步/转折)、so that(目的)、even if(条件)
连接副词: However,(转折)、Therefore,(结果)
