(去掉though或but中任一个)either.or.与 neither.nor.一、either.or. either.o

14、r.意为或者或者；不是就是之意。表示两者之一，连接句子中两个并列的成分。例如： When the girlis happy, she either sings or dances. 那个女孩高兴时，不是唱就是跳。(此句中either.or.连接两个动词，因为主语是单数第三人称，谓语动词要用其相应的形式。) either.or.连接两个主语时，其谓语动词应与最近的一个主语在人称和数上保持一致，这就是我们通常说的就近原则。例如： Either you or I am going there tomorrow. 明天要么你去那里，要么我去那里。 注意：如果把上句变成一般疑问句，助动词形式与主语you

15、保持一致，所以要用are提问，而不是am。例如： Are either you or I going there tomorrow? 明天是你还是我去那里？ Either you or he has lunch at school. 其一般疑问句应为：Do either you or he have lunch at school? 是你还是他在学校吃午饭？ 若要对either.or.句型进行否定时，只需把either.or.换成neither.nor.即可。例如： Either you or she is good at drawing. 变为否定句应为：Neither you nor sh

16、e is good at drawing. 你和她都不擅长绘画。 我们还可以单独使用either，其意为两者中的任何一个。例如： There are many shops on either side of the street. 街道两边有许多商店。这个句子也可以这样表达：There are many shops on both sides of the street. 在街道两边有许多商店。 either用在否定句的句末，表示也的意思。例如： If you dont go there. I wont, either. 如果你不去那里，我也不去。 二、neither.nor. neither

17、.nor.表示既不也不。其含义是否定的，可连接任意两个并列的成份。例如： She likes neither butter nor cheese. 她既不喜欢黄油也不喜欢乳酪。此句中neither.nor.连接两个宾语。当neither.nor.连接两个主语时，也应遵循就近原则。例如： Neither dad nor mum is at home today. 今天父母都不在家。 若将neither.nor.句型变为肯定句，只需把neither.nor.改为both.and.即可，同时谓语动词必须用复数形式。例如： Both dad and mum are at home today. 今天父

18、母都在家。 还可以单独使用neither作主语，表示两者中没有一个。例如： Neither of them likes football. 他们俩都不喜欢足球。 neither或nor还有另外一种用法，就是当表达一个人没有做某事，另一个人也没做同一类事时，可用neither或nor进行简略回答，其结构为：Neither / Nor+助动词 / 情态动词/ be动词+主语。例如： He doesnt go to school by bike. Neither / Nor do I. 他不是骑自行车上学，我也不是。 They didnt go to the park yesterday. Neit

19、her / Nor did we. 昨天他们没去公园，我们也没去。并列连词 not only.but also.用法归纳not only.but also. 表示“不仅而且”“既又”，用于连接两个性质相同的词或短语。如：Not only men but also women were chosen. 不仅仅是男的，女的也有被选中的。We were not only hungry, but also tired. 我们不但饿了，而且也累了。She likes not only music but also sport. 她不但喜欢音乐而且喜欢运动。She not only plays well,

20、 but also writes music. 她不仅很会演奏，而且还会作曲。We go there not only in winter, but also in summer. 我们不仅冬天去那儿，而且夏天也去。另外，在使用not onlybut also时还应注意以下几点：1. 有时可将but also分开用，即将but视为普通的并列连词，用于连接两个句子，然后将also用于句中（用谓语动词用在一起）。如：Hes not only very fast, but hes also got marvellous technique. 他不仅很快，而且技术高超。2. 该结构中的also有时可以

21、省略，或将also换成too, as well（置于句末）。如：He not only washed the car, but polished it too as well. 他不仅冲洗汽车，而且还擦拭了它。His name is known not only in Japan, but in China. 他不仅在日本出名，而且在中国也出名。3. 有时因为语境的需要，not onlybut also也可能用于连接两个性质不同的词或短语，但这多半因为承前省略的原因。如：He not only goes to work on weekdays, but also on weekends. 他不

22、仅工作日去上班，在周末也去上班。句中的not only后接的是谓语goes to，而but also后接的却是状语 on weekends，可视为but also后承前省略了谓语动词 goes to work。4. 当not onlybut also连接两个主语时，谓语动词的数原则上与其相近的主语保持一致。如：Not only the students but also their teacher is enjoying the film. 不仅学生们在欣赏这部影片，他们的老师也在欣赏这部影片。5. 为了强调，可将not only置于句首，此时其后的句子通常要用部分倒装的形式。如：Not on

23、ly has she been late three times, she has also done no work. 她不仅仅迟到了3次，她还没干一点活。Not only do they need clothing, but they are also short of water. 他们不但需要衣服，而且还缺水。有时也可见到不倒装的情形，此时主要见于but also后接省略结构的情况（省略只剩下主语）。如：Not only my mother was unhappy, but Marian, too. 不仅我母亲不快乐，玛丽安也不快乐。并列连词eitheror用法归纳eitheror主要

24、用于表示选择，其意为“要么要么”“或者或者”，用于连接两个性质相同的词或短语。如：You can have either this one or that one. 你拿这个或那个都可以。 You must either go at once or wait till tomorrow. 你要么马上走，要么等到明天。 We can finish the work either this week or next week. 不是这星期就是下星期我们就可完成这项工作。在具体使用not onlybut also时还应注意以下几点：1. eitheror连接两个成分作主语时，谓语动词通常与其靠近的主

25、语保持一致。如：Either you or I am to go. 你或我必须有人去。 Either he or you are right. 要么他对，要么你对。 但在非正式文体中，有时也会一律用复数谓语。如：If either David or Janet come, they will want a drink. 大卫或珍妮特来的话，是会要喝酒的。 2. eitheror除可连接两个词或短语外，有时也可连接两个句子。如：Either you must improve your work or I shall dismiss you. 要么你改进工作，要么我就辞退你。 Either you

26、ll leave this house or Ill call the police. 你要是不离开这座房子，我就叫警察来。 3. eitheror的否定式可以是not eitheror，也可以是neithernor.。如：He didnt either write or phone.=He neither wrote nor phoned. 他既没写信又没打电话。 注意，正如不能说eithernot 一样(但可说noteither)，英语习惯上也不说eitherornot，如不能说：Either he or his wife hasnt come. 可改为：Neither he nor hi

27、s wife has come. 注意这些句子中的并列连词有这样一道题，该选哪个答案？注意与句中的并连词有关：They werent a particularly good team, but they refused to give in and _ defeat.A. accept B. accepted C. accepting D. to have accepted容易误选B，误认为 accepted 与谓语 refused 并列。其实，最佳答案为A，动词 accept 与 give 并列。请看类例：(1) Mother told Jim to watch the milk until

28、 it boiled and then _ off the gas.A. turn B. turning C. turned D. having turned答案为A，turn off the gas 与 watch the milk until it boiled 并列。(2)He just does what he pleases and never _ about anyone else. A. think B. thinks C. thinking D. thought答案选B，thinks 与前面的 does 为并列谓语，同用一般现在时。(3)I dont know whether

29、to stay in teaching or _ another job. A. trying getting B. to try to get C. trying to get D. try get答案选B，to stay in teaching 与to try to get another job 为两个并列的选择成分，故同用不定式。另外比较：try to do sth=设法做某事，try doing sth=做某事看看有何效果。连词because用法详解1. 表示原因，语气较强，可用来回答 why 提出的问题。如：A：Why do you love her? 你为什么爱她?B：Becau

30、se she is kind. 因为很善良。2. because 除经常用于引导原因状语从句外，还可引出表语从句或用于强调句等。如：It is because youre eating too much. 那是因为你吃得太多了。It was because I wanted to buy a dictionary that I went to town yesterday. 我昨天是由于想买本字典而进城的。3. 汉语说“因为所以”，但英语却不能用 becauseso这样的结构。如：因为我病了半年，所以把工作丢了。误：Because I was ill for six months, so I

31、lost my job.正：Because I was ill for six months, I lost my job.正：I was ill for six months, so I lost my job.4. 汉语说“之所以是因为”，英语可以类似以下这样的句型（用that比用 because普通）。如：The reason (why) Im late is that because I missed the bus. 我迟到的原因是因为我没有赶上公共汽车。传统语法认为这类句型不能用 because, 但在现代英语中用because 的情形已很普遍。5. 在notbecause这一结构中，not 有时否定主句，有时否定从句，具体视语境而定。一般说来，若 not 否定主句，最好在because 之前用逗号，否
