AEIS考试中常用从属连词的用法（1）

为了帮助考生们更好地备考AEIS考试，今天小编给大家整理了AEIS考试中常用从属连词的用法,希望同学们可以认真练习，查漏补缺，顺利通过2018年AEIS考试!

In other words, the clause without a conjunction is able to stand alone, while the clause that contains the conjunction cannot. Subordinating conjunctions examples:

换句话说，没有连词的句子可以独立存在，然而有连词的句子则不可以。

从属连词的例子：[/cn

I don’t like cake because it’s too sweet.

[cn]我不喜欢蛋糕，因为它太甜了。

This sentence consists of two clauses, “I don’t like cake” and “it’s too sweet,” both connected by the subordinating conjunction “because.”

这给句子里包含两个句子，即“I don’t like cake”和 “it’s too sweet”。这两句话由从属连词“because”连接。

The clause that stands alone is “I don’t like cake” and can form its own separate sentence. The clause “because it’s too sweet,” however, cannot stand alone and instead subordinates to the first clause. “I don’t like cake”

这个句子可以单独存在。但是如果句子“because it’s too sweet”从属于前一个句子，它则不能单独存在。

这就是为什么我们把单词“because”成为从属连词。你会注意到从属连词就是英文中最常见的，最常使用的单词。下面就是最常见的从属连词的列表。

Note that unlike with coordinating conjunctions, subordinate clauses can appear before or after the independent clause.

与并列连词不同的是，从属连词可以在一个独立的句子前面或者后面出现。
