however能放句末吗(however用法很灵活用在句首)(1)

(1) however的用法

however表示“然而,可是”的意思,它作为并列连词,使用起来非常灵活,基本可用于句子中的任何位置,但要留意标点的使用。比如:

① 当使用however连接两个句子时,前面要用分号。

I feel a bit tired; however, it’s probably the alcohol. 我觉得有点累,可能是因为酒精吧。

② 当however用在句中时,通常用于主语或句首短语后,使用逗号隔开。

I have some weaknesses. That, however, doesn't mean I cannot succeed. 我有一些弱点。然而,这并不意味着我不能成功。

③ 当however用在句尾时,前面加逗号即可。

Your work is all right; there is room for improvement, however. 工作做得还行,但仍在提升的空间。

在这个句子里我提示一点就是room这个单词。我们都知道它表示“房间”,只要过了高中阶段,你看到的room往往表示“空间”的意思,这个“空间”不仅局限于物理上的空间,也存在于某种意义上的空间。比如

There is still plenty of room for innovation today. 如今仍然有很多创新的空间。

(2) 时间状语从句

时间状语从句就是用于表达主句发生时间的句子,之所以叫从句是说明该句子是从属于主句的,往往从句的句子成分是不完整的。在本文中有两个时间状语从句,我拎出来大家一起来区分一下。

① 现在分词短语的时间状语从句

looking at his watch, he saw that … 从he saw that开始是主句,而前面的looking at his watch中就缺少了主语。这种状语从句在我们以后的作文中非常的实用。老师反复强调不要写简单句,而各种从句的补充会使句子变得长而丰满,并且写起来也很简单,同学要多加练习。

Turning the corner, she saw him standing there. 转过拐角,她看见他就站在那里。(这怕就是转角遇到爱吧)

② before关联词引导的时间状语从句

引导时间状语从句的关联词有很多,如果常见的after,until,when,while,once等等。在使用这些表示时间状语的连词时,通常从句不使用将来时。

I have something to tell you before you go. 你走之前我有一些事情要告诉你。
