雅思基础 ,如果你需要知道什么是从句,请点击。我写的这些文字,是假设你已经清楚从句及状语从句的知识。同时,你是理解
英语主要的动词时态的。引导状语从句的都是连词,在这里我们将探讨的是连词because, for, since引导的原因状语从句。
连词because:这个原因是听话人不知道的,十分感兴趣的。
连词for:这是推断的理由,用于对主句的解释和说明。
连词since(=as):这个理由是说话人认为明显的,认为听话人已知的。
除了since,我们还可以用这些复合连词:seeing that, considering that, now that, given that, in that
in as much as, in so much as 已经不那么常见了,但是在文章中出现要知道它们等于“由于”。
A for the reason that (because) B
The boy was absent because he was ill. 说话人认为听话人不知道
A seeing that (for) B
She remained silent, for her heart was heavy and her spirits low. 推断的理由,补充说明解释主句
A in as much as (since) B
