1.表示“让步”的状语从句:用连词though/although虽然
例子:
①Although Mary washed the shirt twice,the stain wouldn't come out.
虽然Marry洗了两次衬衫,但污渍怎么也洗不掉。
twice=two times两次
come out洗掉
动词短语就是让一个动词表现的很丰富的。
②Though he is a talented musician,he seldom makes effort(s).
虽然他是一位有才华的音乐家,但他却很少努力。
talent(n.)才艺、才华
talented(a.)有才华的
gift(n.)礼物(指贵重的),天分,才华
gifted(a.)有才华的
effort后面加s或不加s都可以当复数使用。
work hard=make effort 努力工作
★让步即矛盾,比如:虽然我不同意你这么做,但是还是让你去做了。
2.though(adv.)不过
例子:
①We went to high school together.
I haven't seen her for years,though.
我们一起上高中,不过我已经好几年没见到她了。
②I must go now;I'll be back soon,though.
我现在非走不可;不过我不久就会回来。
;= ,+连词,所以可以写成I must go now,and I'll be back soon,though.
though当副词时一定要放句尾,而且一定要在它前面打上逗号。
★though有连词和副词的用法,although只有连词的用法。
3.even though 尽管
例子:
Even though she disliked movies,she went with her hasband to please him.
尽管她不喜欢电影,为了让丈夫高兴她还是和他一起去了。
★though前面加副词even,它的意思跟though和although差不多的,只是语气上差那么一点点。
切记:英语语法是用来理解的,不是用来背诵的。
