标点符号的应用：.DOC

标点符号的应用： 狗主们纷纷反映说标点考的很多，所以单独总结一下标点，但是嘞，LZ认为啊，标点符号起到鸡血的作用，就是看见它觉得见过，心里兴奋，觉得这个变得简单了~但是哦，不要一上来看见比较特殊的符号，比如破折号，就兴奋的先从这个考点开始判断就可能狗血，当只剩下最后两个选项的时候，主要区分只剩下标点符号成为明显的区别的时候在考虑他们 Comma（逗号）The comma (,) is the most common punctuation mark, as well as the most difficult to use correctly. Fortunately, you can rest assured that the GMAT does not make correct answers hinge solely on comma use. That is, the correct answer will never differ from an incorrect answer only by the placement of a comma 逗号是常用的符号，但不容易用对,但是嘞，gmat不会单独考逗号 However, you should certainly pay attention to commas, since they are important signals and separators of modifiers, items in a list, and other sentence elements. For instance, remember that non-essential modifiers are set off by commas, but essential modifiers are not separated by commas. This car,purchased lastyear, is a Buick contains a non-essential modifier, but The car purchased last year is a Buick contains an essential modifier. Do not use a comma before and to separate two verbs that have the same subject. Either eliminate the comma or add a subject to the second verb, creating a second main clause. Wrong: Earl walked to school, AND later ate his lunch. Right: Earl walked to school AND later ate his lunch. Right: Earl walked to school, AND HE later ate his lunch. 逗号将不重要的修饰隔开，重要的修饰是不能用逗号隔开的 不要用逗号将两个句子分开 不要用逗号+and去隔开有同一个主语的两个动词 Wrong: Earl walked to school, he later ate his lunch. Semicolon（分号） Connects two closely related statements and each must be an independent sentence. 分号必须连接的是两个完整、独立的句子 If it seems that the author originally meant to subordinate one part to the other, you must preserve that intent. 若两个句子有一个是从属于另一个的，一定要显示出他们从属的关系 Wrong: The dam has created dead zones; fish have disappeared. Right: The dam has created dead zones, where fish have disappeared. The semicolon is often followed by a conjunctive adverb, such as HOWEVER, THEREFORE, or IN ADDITION. Note these elements are not true conjunctions like AND. 分号后面经常跟的是连接副词（如however、therefore、in
