核心规则(Grammar Core)

连词是什么?

连词是把两个句子粘在一起的胶水。没有连词,你只能写短句;有了连词,你能写复杂的长句——这正是 KET 写作从5分升到8分的关键。

📘 KET 必会连词(7个)

连词含义连接关系例句
and和、而且添加I like tea and coffee.
but但是转折She’s young but very smart.
or或者选择Do you want tea or coffee?
so所以结果It was raining, so I took an umbrella.
because因为原因I stayed home because it was raining.
when当……时时间I was happy when I heard the news.
if如果条件I’ll come if you invite me.

KET 写作评分标准:Part 7 要求写35+词的故事/邮件。阅卷官看的就是你会不会用 and/but/so/because 连接句子。只写短句 = 低分。

📙 PET 扩展连词

连词含义例句
although / though虽然Although it was cold, we went swimming.
however然而(句间)The test was hard. However, I passed.
while当……同时 / 而(对比)While I like cats, my sister prefers dogs.
unless除非(= if not)I won’t go unless you come with me.
so that为了I study hard so that I can pass the exam.
as soon as一……就Call me as soon as you arrive.
even though即使Even though he’s tired, he keeps working.

Grammar Lens

连词位置规则

类型位置例句
and/but/or/so两个句子中间I was tired, but I kept studying.
because/when/if/although句首或句中都可以Because it rained, we stayed home. = We stayed home because it rained.
however新句子开头(加逗号)I studied hard. However, I failed.

Trap ❌ because 和 so 不能同时出现! ✅ Because it was raining, I stayed home. ✅ It was raining, so I stayed home. ❌ Because it was raining, so I stayed home.

对比辨析:because vs so ⚠️

because → 原因在后
I stayed home because it was raining.
                 ↑ 原因

so → 结果在后  
It was raining, so I stayed home.
                   ↑ 结果

两句话意思一样,但方向相反。KET 完形填空考的就是”这里需要原因还是结果”。

对比辨析:but vs although/however

用法例句
but连接两个分句He’s old but strong.
although引导从句(可放句首)Although he’s old, he’s strong.
however连接两个独立句子He’s old. However, he’s strong.

三个都表转折,语气递增:but < although < however。PET 写作用 although/however 比只用 but 得分更高。


😂 Grammar Joke

连词的力量

Without conjunctions: I woke up. I was late. I ran. I missed the bus. I was sad. I walked. I was tired. I arrived. The teacher was angry.

With conjunctions: I woke up late, so I ran to the bus stop, but I missed the bus. I was sad because I had to walk. When I finally arrived, the teacher was angry, although it wasn’t really my fault.

同样的故事,没有连词 = 机器人说话(9个短句),有连词 = 人类说话(2个长句)。

语法点:连词的价值不在于语法对错,而在于让你的英语从”碎片”变成”流动的故事”。这正是 KET 写作评分的核心。


🏛 语言文化光点

“And” 是英语中使用频率最高的词之一

在英语所有文本中,“and” 的使用频率排名第3(仅次于 “the” 和 “be”)。一个英语母语者平均每天说出 “and” 超过500次。

有趣的是,古英语的 “and” 拼写是 “ond” 或 “and”,一千多年几乎没变过——它太基础了,连语言演化都懒得碰它。

莎士比亚的剧本名《罗密欧与朱丽叶》英文是 Romeo and Juliet。想象一下如果没有 and:“Romeo. Juliet.” ——整个爱情故事的感觉就没了。


📖 Real English · 真实阅读

🔵 My Best Friend

Emma is my best friend. We’ve known each other since we were five, and we do almost everything together. She’s really smart, but she never shows off. I like science, but Emma prefers art. When we were ten, we had a big argument because I accidentally broke her favourite pencil case. I felt terrible, so I bought her a new one. She forgave me immediately. “It’s just a pencil case,” she said. Although we’re very different, we always understand each other. I can’t imagine my life without her.

🔵 A Camping Trip Gone Wrong

We decided to go camping last weekend because the weather forecast said it would be sunny. We packed our tent and sleeping bags and set off on Saturday morning. Everything was fine when we arrived, so we built the tent and made a fire. But at midnight, it started raining heavily. The tent was cheap, so water came in everywhere. We tried to fix it, but it was useless. Although we were cold and wet, we started laughing. “If we survive this,” I said, “we’ll have the best story ever.” When we got home on Sunday, we were exhausted but happy. My mum asked, “How was it?” I said, “Perfect.” Because sometimes the worst trips make the best memories.

🔵 Why Do We Learn English?

Many students ask: “Why do we have to learn English?” There are many reasons. English is the language of science and technology, so if you want to work in these fields, you need it. It’s also the language of the internet — about 60% of all websites are in English. Although Chinese has more native speakers, English is spoken in more countries. When you travel, English helps you communicate almost anywhere. But the most important reason is this: when you learn a language, you don’t just learn words and grammar — you learn how another culture thinks. And that makes you a bigger person.
