词法篇

英文与中文一样,也有名词、动词、形容词等。唯一不同的是,中文没有冠词。

英语句子成分也是主谓宾定状补等。一般名词作为主语、宾语,动词作为谓语。

名词、动词是单词性质,主语、谓语是句子成分。

连接词conjunctions

连接词是英文中最简单的一类词,就是连接词与词、句与句。比如Tom and Jerry汤姆和杰瑞。

连接词有一个形象的比喻:胶水词。连接词主要分两类:并列连接词和从属连接词。

并列连接词

并列连接词,顾名思义,两个词或两个句子并列。如果连接的是句子,那就一定 是并列 句 。

并列连接词,表示并列、选择、转折、因果等关系。

1、并列

My friend came up to me, held my hand, and said good-bye excitedly. (三个以上并列,and要放在最后)

This book may be used both as a text and as a reference book. (这类也被称为“关联连接词”)

He speaks not only Chinese but also English.

Tom is not so strong as you. (as不能用like)

2、选择

To be, or not to be, that is the question. 生存还是毁灭,这是个问题。

Either you run the day, or the day runs you. 要么你主宰时光,要么时光主宰你。

Either you or your brother cleans the window. (“主谓一致”中的就近原则)

3、转折

I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying. 我可以接受失败,但我不能接受不去尝试。

Although she felt ill, she still went to work. (although和but不能同时出现,所以后面用still)

She said she would be late, yet she arrived on time.

She has the window open, however cold it is outside. (however与形容词连用)

4、因果

It was still painful, so I went to see a doctor. (Because和so也不能同时出现)

We rarely stay in hotels, for we can’t afford it. 我们很少住宾馆,因为我们住不起。(for有补充说明的意思)

Mary must have come back home, since her coat is not here. 玛丽一定已经回家了,因为她的外套不在这儿。(since更多表示推测)

从属连接词

从属连接词,顾名思义,是表示从属关系,就是连接主句和从句。

1、名词性从句连词

that引导名词性从句,没有实际意义,作宾语时可以省略。

She said (that) the story was true.

2、状语从句的连词

Although,because,since,as,if,unless,until,while,when,whether……

We are never defeated because we can always try again. (在从句中往往用because)

If winter comes, can spring be far behind? 如果冬天来了,春天还会远吗?

I'm going whether you like it or not. (whether是从属连接词,or是并列连接词)

从属连接词是从句重要的引导词 ,一般你只要能够找到这个词,就把这个句子的结构搞清楚了。

总结

1、连词就是胶水词,连接词和词、句子和句子;

2、句子和句子之间只有两种关系,并列和从属,用到的就是并列连接词和从属连接词;

3、使用并列连接词要注意主谓一致原则;

4、从属连接词是区分从句的关键,画出连接词,分清主句从句;

5、做题提示:见到连接词,就想复合句。
