用并列连接词连接起来的两个以上简单句叫做并列句。
并列句的构成:简单句+连接词+简单句
连接并列句常用的连接词有:and,but,or,so,not only…but also,however,neither…nor,either…or,still等。例如:
1.I help herand she helps me.
我帮助她,她帮我。
2.She is very old but she is in good health.
她年纪很大了,但身体很好。
3.We must hurry,or we'll be late for school.
我们得赶快走,不然上学就晚了。
4.This boy did his w ork carefully,so he never made any mistakes.
这个小伙子工作认真,从不出差错。
5.Jim not only wrote to me last week but also came to see me yesterday.
吉姆上星期不但写信给我,而且昨天还来看过我。
6.Neither Jim nor Li Lei has been to the farm.
吉姆和李雷都没有去过农场.
7.Either he or I am on the team.
不是他就是我上场。
注:连接词so除了连接并列句用外,兼有结果意味,见例句4。有时so在后一句中代替前一句中某一个成分。例如:
He can swim,so can I.
他会游泳,我也会。(so代替swim)
