初三英语下册知识点之连接词及其用法|人教版初三英语下册知识点
导读：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“both……and……”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.
英语里的“although”和“but”是不见面的 ，因此这句里的“ but”要去掉，不然“although”就要出来。
(4) Jim is not so strong like you.
这里的“not so”必须和“as”连成一体;介词“like”是不适宜的。
(5) No sooner had we reached our destination, they left.
No sooner必须和than 配成关联连词，把than 省掉是不对的，应该补上：
No sooner had we reached our destination than they left.
