词语用法
conj.(连词)although的基本意思是“尽管,虽然”或“然而,但是”,常用于引导陈述语气的让步状语从句,且引导的句子常指事实,而不指设想。 although可置于句首(此时多用逗号与主句分开),也可置于句末(此时用不用逗号均可),也可用于句中表强调。 在although引导的复合句中,若主句和从句的主语相同,且从句的谓语动词含动词be,则从句的主语和动词be可以省略。 although不能与but在句中同时出现,即有了although就不可以再用but。但although可与副词yet连用而产生关联关系,在含让步状语从句的主句中还可以使用nevertheless, still等副词。
