中考英语连词的用法总结 真诚为您服务][ 它不能独立担任句子成分而只起连接词与词，短语与短语以及连词是一种虚词，句与句的作用。连词主要可分为两类：并列连词和从属连词。并列连词用来连接 平and, but, or, nor, so, therefore, yet, 行的词、词组和分句。如：however, for, hence, as well as, both…and, not only…but 等等。also, either…or, neither…nor, (and)then ) They sat (错and 与or判断改错：并列连词引导两个并列的句子。1)) They started to dance (错down and talk about something.) I saw two men sitting behind and whisper (错and sang. ) (对(对) They sat down and talked about something.there. )I saw two men sitting 对They started to dance and sing. (behind and whispering there. talk and 连接两个并列的谓语，所以应改为解析：第一句：连接两个 并列的动词不定式，第二个不定式往往省略第二句：and talked。 后面的用saw 第三句：and 连接感观动词sang to，因此应改为 sing。and
应改为whispering。注意：whisper作的宾补的两个并列分词结构，因此 or 也有此用法）还可以和祈使句或名词词组连用表示条件。（ = If Make up your mind, and you'll get the chance. One more you make up your mind, you'll get the chance. = If you make one more effort, effort, and you'll succeed. you'll succeed. She plays (both) the piano and the 两者都both …and 2)guitar. She plays 而且） 3)not only…but (also), as well as不但…not only the piano, but (also) the guitar. not not only… but also 关联两个分句时，一个分句因有否定词注意： Not only does he like reading stories, but 而必须倒装。also he can even write some. 后nor也不……甥??甥??谓语动词采用就近原则，与既不意思为 4)neithe…nor Neither you nor he is to blame. 的词保持一致。
中考英语必考之中考英语语法连词
透析中考英语语法连词 【连词命题趋势】 根据对连词部分全国各地考试题的分析可知，今后该部分将是重点考查点之一。其考查重点为： 1、并列连词的用法 2、从属连词的用法 3、相似连词的辨析 【考点诠释】 一、考查表示转折对比关系的并列连词 这类并列句常用并列连词but （但是），yet (可是)，while(而，另一方面)等连接前后简单句，but常译为‘但是”，“可是”，切不可与从属连词though或although一起使用。 1．but(但是，可是，而，却) 连接两个并列句，有时句中某些词可以省略；连接两个并列成分，可以放在一个句子的句首，后面不接逗号。 【考例】——Would you like to come to my house for dinner tonight? ——I'd love to，____I have lots of work to do．[北京市] A so B or C and D．but [答案]D。[解析]考查转折连词。so(表结果)，or(表选择)，ad(表并列)，but(表转折)，根据句意：“我很乐意去，但我还有一些事要做”可推断选but，表转折。It was very cold and windy, _________ those farmers were working hard on the farm.[吉林省]
A. and B. or C. but D. so [答案]C。[解析]考查连词的用法。 but表转折，and表并列，or表选择，So表顺接。根据句意选C。 二、考查表示因果关系的并列连词 这类并列句常用并列连词for，so等连接前后简单句。 1．for在意义上与从属连词because，since和as相同，但它们引导的是原因状语从句，而for则连接两个简单句。由并列连词for引导的分句只能置于句末，而且必须用逗号与前面的分句隔开。for分句主要是对前一分句补充说明理由或推断原因。for分句不能用来回答why问句。 2． so意为“因此”、“所以”，但不能与because同时出现在同一个句子中。因为because是从属连词，而so是并列连词，用来连接并列句。其结构为：简单句(原因)+so+简单句(结果)。 【考例】I have been trying my best to study English ________I want to have a chance to be a volunteer for the Beijing Olympics. [太原市] A, until B. because C. though [答案]B。[解析] 本题考查连词的用法。until表示“直到……才”常用来引导时间状语从句；because"因为”用来引导原因状语从句，而though"尽管”用来引导让步状语从句。根据主从句的前后关系判断，应该选用表示原因的B项。 . Ricky caught a "bad cold yesterday, ___________ he had to stay at home. [南京] A. because B. but C. or D. so D because 因为，引导句子；because of因为引导短语But 但是，（表示转折＝however，＝whereas），不能够和though/although连用对不起，除了（＝except） Or 和（ and的否定形式），或者，否则（通常是将来时态，表示结
