所谓连接代词和副词,实际上就是我们以前学过的疑问代词和副词,如who, whose, whom, what, which, when,where, why,how以及由how构成的词组。
连接副词可分为两类,一类是用于连接句子或从句,常见的有therefore, besides, otherwise, however, moreover, still, thus, meanwhile等;另一类是用于引导从句或不定式,主要的有when, why, where, how 等。
在应用时要注意以下两点:
1.它们在构成疑问句时叫疑问词,引导宾语从句时称作引导词。
2.是它们和that不一样,在从句中有含义,担任相关的句子成分,所以不能省略,另外,它们须放在宾语从句之首,宾语从句必须是陈述句结构。
例句:
1.I feel a bit tired. However, I can hold on.
我有点累了,但我能坚持下去。
2.They talked about it for hours. Finally, they decided to go。
他们对此商量了好几个小时,最后他们决定去。
3.I have never been to Wales. I, therefore, don't know much about it.
我从未去过威尔斯,因此我对它知道的不多。
