therefore的用法详解
therefore有两种用法,一在整句中,一在分句中。
一、整句中时一般不放句末,句首后要有逗号,句中1、按一般副词使用2、做插入语(这两个分得清吧)
eg.1、Therefore,we must learn English well.
2、They therefore can learn English well.
3、Many fast food restaurant ,therefore,have red furniture or walls.
二、用在分句中,即一个句子一部分表示原因一部分表示结果。
这时一般词前要用分号,其后用不用逗号无所谓。若第二个分句前是逗号或无符号,则要注意therefore是副词,和so不一样,要保持句子完整,应用and therefore。
eg.1、I had a headache;therefore I could not go to your party.
2、I was ill,and therefore could not come.
3、These birds are very beautiful and therefore liked by many people.
注:therefore是副词,但有时具有连词作用
therefore,otherwise 和 thus 的区别
Therefore要加逗号,后面跟句子(注意是句子);
Thus不一定要加逗号,后面不一定跟句子。
I was helping my sister with her study.Therefore,I failed to pass the exam.
Air carry the virus to everywhere,thus causing the explosion of the disease.(无逗号,thus 后面不是句子)
Air carry the virus to everywhere.Thus,it causes the explosion of the disease.(逗号,thus 后面是句子)
用于句型“祈使句+or+陈述句”中,表示在以祈使句为条件下的相反假设,意为“否则,要不然”。
例如: Work hard,or you will fall behind.你要努力学习,否则会落后。
Get up early tomorrow,or you will miss the early train.你明天要早点起身,要不然就赶不上早班火车了。
Don't jump the queue,or other peopoe will not be pleased.别插队,否则别人会不高兴的。
可以把这类句型中的祈使句换为一个条件句(注意改写时应去掉连词or)。
例如: Hurry up,or you will be late for the meeting.→If you don't hurry up,you will be late for the meeting.
otherwise 用作连词,意思为“否则;要不然”,相当于 or,or else 或 if not .
例如: We’ll go early,otherwise we may not get a seat. 我们得早点去,要不然就没有座位了。
Seize the chance,otherwise you will regret it. 抓住机会,要不然你会后悔的。
I was ill that day,otherwise I would have taken part in the sports meet. 那天我病了,否则我会去参加运动会的。
We didn’t know you were in trouble at that time,otherwise we would have given you a hand. 我们当时不知道你遇到了困难,要
不然我们会帮助你的because、for、therefore作“因为”讲的区别
for ,because,as,since这四个词作为连词,都有"因为"的意思,但它们在用法上有区别:
because 是从属连词,接表示直接原因的从句,一般放在主句的后面,也可放在主句前面,它表示的语气最强,在回答why的问句时,必须用because。
