以上连接词虽然代表同一个意思,但因为词性上的不同在文法使用上会有些差异。
*对等连接词(but, yet, so, or):连接词可连接两个句子
ex:I love her, but she doesn’t love me.
*连接副词(however, nevertheless, nonetheless):通常以分号 “;”和逗号”,”加诸于副词连接词前后,并置于两个独立子句之中。
ex: He loves her; however, she doesn’t love him. 或者 He loves her. However, she doesn’t love him.
*从属连接词(as, as long as, because, since):从属子句在某种程度上是用来修饰主要子句。而主要子句可单独存在,从属子句却无法单独存在。
