常用连词的用法辨析 （1） while, when, as 这三个连词都可引导时间状语从句，但用法有所不同。 1) 当某事正在进行的时候，又发生了另一件事。While, when, as 都可用来引导表示“背景”的时间状语从句。例如： As/When/While I was walking down the street I noticed a police car. 2) 当两个长动作同时进行的时候，最常用的是while。例如： While mother was cooking lunch, I was doing my homework. 3) 当两个动作都表示发展变化的情况时，最常用的是as。例如： As children get older, they become more and more interested in things around them. 4) 当两个短动作同时发生时，或表示“一边…一边…”时，最常用as。例如： Just as he caught the fly, he gave a loud cry. She looked behind from time to time as she went 5) 当从句的动作先于主句的动作时，通常用when。例如： When he finished his work, he took a short rest. 6) 当从句是瞬间动作，主句是延续性动作时，通常用when。例如： When John arrived I was cooking lunch. （2）as, because, since , for 这四个词都可表原因，但用法有区别。 1) 如果原因构成句子的最主要部分，一般用because。因此，because引导的从句往往放在句末。例如： I stayed at home because it rained. ---Why aren’t you going? ---Because I don’t want to. 2) 如果原因已被人们所知，或不如句子的其它部分重要，就用as或since。Since比as稍微正式一点。As和since 引导的从句一般放在句子的开头。例如： As he wasn’t ready, we left without him. Since I have no money, I can’t buy any food. 3) for用来补充说明一种理由，因此，for引导的从句几乎可以放在括号里。For引导的句子不放在句子的开头。例如： I decided to stop and have lunch----for I was feeling quite hungry. （3）if, whether if和whether都可作“是否”讲，在引导宾与从句是一般可互换。例如： I wonder whether (if) you still study in that school. I don’t know whether (if) he likes that film. 在下列情况下，只能用whether,不能用if： 1) 引导主语从句时。例如： Whether he will come to the party is unknown. 2) 引导表语从句时。例如： The question is whether I can pass the exam. 3) 在不定式前。例如： I haven’t made up my mind whether to go there or not. （4）so…that, such...that 1) so…that中的so是个副词，其后只能跟形容词或副词，而such...that中的such是个形容词，后接名词或名词短语。例如： I’m so tired that I can’t walk any farther. It was such a warm day that he went swimming. 2) 如果在名词之前有many, much, little, few时，用so,不用such。例如： He has so little education that he is unable to get a job. I have had so many falls that I am black and blue all over. （5）either…or…, neither…nor, not only…but also… 这三个连词词组都可连接两个并列成分。当它们连接两个并列主语时， 谓语动词要随相邻的主语变化。例如： Either you or he is wrong
