连词是英语词汇学习中非常重要的一环,在学连词之前,我们只能用简单句,但有了连词,我们就可以随意地将句子短语组合起来,表达更丰富的内容了,所以这次就来跟着小编一起看看并列连词吧。

连词是一种虚词,用于连接单词、短语、从句或句子,在句子中不单独用作句子成分。连词按其性质可分为并列连词和从属连词。

并列连词主要是用来表示并列关系、转折关系、选择关系、因果推理关系等。并列连词用来连接属于同一层次并具有相同句法功能的词,短语或句子。

表示并列关系:

表示并列关系的连词主要含有“和”、“补充”、“增加”等意思:

and 和 both...and...二者都
either...or...或者······或者······ neither...nor...既不······也不······
as well as 也、连同 not only...but (also)... 不但······而且······

e.g. Both my brother and sister chose to eat pasta.

       Neither me nor him want to go to park.

       Jack and Cathy are couple.

表示转折关系:

but 但是 yet 然而
still 仍然 while 然而、偏偏

e.g. Someone borrowed my pen, but I don’t remember who.

      I tried my best to persuade her, but she still sticked on her own idea.

表示选择关系:

or 或者 or else 否则
otherwise 否则
neither...nor... 既不······也不······
either...or... 或者······或者······

e.g.Would you like to leave or would you like to stay?

     You can come either on Saturday or on Sunday.

表示因果推理关系:

so所以,for因为,then然后,therefore因此

e.g.The air here is polluted, so the crops are dying.

     The leaves of the trees are falling, for it's already autumn.

综上所述,可以看出虽然并列连词叫并列连词,但它表达的不仅仅是并列的含义,还能表示因果,转折,选择,内涵非常丰富,除了这些常见连词外,其实还有很多更复杂更高级的连词,大家不妨多背背,在关键时候一定会起大用处的。
