- The boys who are from XXX elementary school went to a picnic yesterday. (限制在那些來自某某國小的那群男孩)
非限定用法, who/which 前面加了 逗號(,), 目的在於增加資訊:
- The boys, who are from XXX elementary school, went to a picnic yesterday. (知道他們來自某某國小的資訊)
as ~ as : 像...一樣, 用於肯定
no so ~ as 不像...一樣, 用於否定

對等連接詞有哪些: For, And, Not, But, Or, Yet, So (FAN BOYS) 都是對等連接詞, Because也是對等連接詞. 顧名思義就是連接兩個對等的架構, 例如連接兩個子句, 兩個名詞.
對等連接詞的用法:
- 用法1. 子句1 and 子句2
- 用法2. 子句1, and 子句2
therefore, thus, hence, accordingly, then, 不是對等連接詞, 而是副詞, 不能直接連接兩個相等架構. 副詞的用法:
- 用法1. 子句1, and therefore 子句2
- 用法2. 子句1 and therefore 子句2
- 用法3. 子句1; therefore 子句2
- 用法4. 子句1; 主詞 therefore 動詞
- 用法5. 子句1. Therefore, 子句2
錯誤例句:
- I get up in the morning, then I get dressed. (X)
因為 then 是副詞, 不能直接連接兩個子句. 正確用法如下 :
- (1) I get up. Then, I get dressed. (O)
- (2) I get up; then I get dressed. (O)
- (3) I get up, and then I get dressed. (O)
Since 可以是副詞也可以是對等連接詞.
當Since = because的時候, since 就是連接詞.
- We didn't enjoy the day because the weather was so awful. (O)
- We didn't enjoy the day since the weather was so awful. (O)
- Since the weather was awful, we didn't enjoy the day. (O)
先看after錯誤的用法:
- I will have the result after a few days. (X)
因為after 後面要加一個
時間點, a few days 是一段時間, 並不是某一個
時間點
正確的用法是:
- I will have the result after this Friday. (O)
- I will have the result after the day on Jun 1st. (O)
若要接一段時間, 可以用下列介係詞:
- I will have the result in a few days. (幾天後 會有結果)
- I will have the result within a few days. (幾天之內 會有結果)
