在英语词类中,连接词可说是最容易掌握的一种。
从结构上说,英语连接词分两大类:并列连词(coordinating conjunctions)和从属连词(subordinating conjunctions)。
并列连词连接两个或两个以上地位平等的字、词组或分句。例如:(1) Air and water are indispensable to me.
(2) She likes going out with friends or playing outdoor games.
(3) Most workers have a good income, so they look very happy.
从属连词连接两个或两个以上的分句,形成复杂句中的从属分句。例如:
(4) He said that he did not want to go .
(5) Many things have happened since I last saw him.
(6) You may come if you want to.
上述连词的用法,看起来不难,但错误也难免。下面是些好例子:
(1) This book may be used both as a text as well as a reference book.
这里的as well as和both不能搭配,应该将as well 改为and,使bothand变成关联连词( correlative conjunction)
(2) He not only speaks Mandarin but also English.
这里的not only应该移到speaks后面,使这个动词兼顾两个等立宾语:Mandarin和English。
(3) Although he is fat, but he is very weak.
