連接詞主要分為兩種
1. 從屬連接詞 : 又稱「附屬連接詞」。以從屬連接詞所引導的從屬子句與主要子句結合形成為一個複句。從屬子句在某種程度上是用來修飾主要子句,它與主要子句相同都有主詞,但主要子句可單獨存在,從屬子句卻無法單獨存在,它必須依靠主要子句,所以才有「從屬」這個名稱。常見的從屬連接詞有
2. 對等連接詞 : 是用來連接句子中的字、片語或子句。這種連接詞所連接的兩端必須是對等的;「字」和「字」、「片語」和「片語」或「子句」和「子句」。
對等連接詞範例:
對等連接詞使用說明:
1. and 和、而 (連接前後類似的語義) I took a taxi , and she walked home. 我叫了一輛計程車,而她走路回家。
2. but 但是(連接前後相反的語義) Our team played hard, but we lost the game. 我們的團隊非常賣力,但我們卻輸掉了比賽。
3. or 或、否則(警告意味) We can go to a restaurant tonight, or we can just eat leftovers. 今晚我們可以去餐館,或我們可以只吃剩飯。 Be here on time, or we'll leave without you. 你務必準時到來,否則我們將不等你而離去。
4. nor 亦不(配合前面否定的語義) I never saw him again, nor did I regret it. 我從來沒有再見過他,我也沒有後悔。
5. for 因為(給予理由) I couldn't stay, for the room was too noisy. 我不能留下來,因為房間太吵了。
6. so 所以(表示因果關係) It was raining, so I took my umbrella. 因為下雨,所以我帶了傘。
7. yet 但是(連接前後對比的語義) It is good, yet it could be improved. 這是很好的,但它還是可以改善。
And- He likes tea and coffee. 他喜歡茶和咖啡。 對等連接詞"and"連接兩個字(名詞) tea 和 coffee。
But- Our team played hard but lost the game. 我們的團隊非常賣力,但輸掉了比賽。 對等連接詞"but"連接兩個片語 played hard 和 lost the game。
A good haircut and an easy smile will get you through just about anything in your life. 頭髮整齊和面帶笑容將會讓你克服生活上的任何困境。 對等連接詞"and"連接兩個名詞片語“A good haircut”和“an easy smile”。片語動詞 get through - "克服" 是由動詞(get)+介系詞(through)所形成。
Edward is kind and courageous. 對等連接詞"and"連接兩個對等的形容詞(kind 仁慈的, courageous 勇敢的) She is a loving mother and a loyal friend. 對等名詞片語(a loving mother 一個慈愛的母親, a loyal friend 一個忠誠的朋友) Betty lived life fully and completely. 對等的副詞(fully 徹底地, completely 完全地)。
對等連接詞連接兩個獨立子句而形成合句:
當兩個獨立子句被對等連接詞所連結時,前面的獨立子句後應跟著逗點,然後對等連接詞,然後才另一個獨立子句。
一般而言,應該盡量避免由連接詞起頭的單句;但有些特殊情形,單句是可以由連接詞起頭。
Ex: I studied for the college entrance examination. But I didn't study enough. I studied for the college entrance examination, but I didn't study enough. 兩句文法上都沒有錯,但是第二句要比第一句來得漂亮。
下面兩句由連接詞起頭的句子,則有強調的效果。 很多作家還特別鼓勵這樣使用。
Jenny thought that the big earthquake was coming. And she was right. 珍妮認為大地震即將到來。不錯,她是對的。 She had not planned to attend the wedding. Yet she did. 她本來不打算去參加婚禮。然而,她去了。
像 Because, While, Until,...等這一類的從屬連接詞就不能作為單句的起頭。
We can't go to Laura's party. Because we're going away that weekend.(錯誤的句子) We can't go to Laura's party because we're going away that weekend. (正確的句子) 我們不能去參加羅菈的聚會,因為那個週末我們要出遠門。
