并列句
由并列连词连接、含有两个或更多主谓结构的句子叫并列句。
一、表示转折对比关系的并列连词
1.but但是,可是,而,却
连接两个简单句,有时句中某些词可以省略;连接两个并列成分,可以放在一个句子的句首,后面不接逗号。
例:I hope you don't mind me asking,but where did you buy those shoes?
2.yet但是;尽管如此
可连接两个句子,用逗号分开,也可在yet前加and,还可以放在一个句子的句首。
例:The car is old,yet it is in good condition.这辆车旧了,但车况很好。
3.while而,但是,可是,却
while作连词用时,可表示对比或转折关系。

二、表示因果关系的并列连词
1.for因为
由并列连词for引导的分句常置于句子后部,而且常用逗号与前面的分句隔开。for分句主要是对前一分句补充说明理由或推断原因。for分句不能用来回答why问句。
例:I did my best not to show pleasure,but what I was feeling was pure happiness,for my words had the power to make people laugh.
2.so因此
可以连接两个句子,中间有时用逗号隔开;也可在so前加and;还可以放在一个句子的句首。
例:The shop doesn't open until 11 a.m.,so it loses a lot of business.
三、表示选择关系的连词or
or连接并列成分时,意为“或者,还是”;用于否定句中,意为“也不”,这时不宜用and;还有“否则,要不然”之意,相当于otherwise。
例:Would you like a cup of coffee or shall we get down to business right away?
