同学们对however应该不陌生,我们平时在写作的时候也经常用这个词来转折,但是也有不少同学在使用的时候出现错误,其中非常常见的问题之一就是however和but分不清。下面小编要来和大家分享的就是SAT文法中However的两种经典错误。
在做SAT文法的句子和标点题的时候,很多同学喜欢掐指一算,脑门一拍,选个自己读起来感觉好的选项;殊不知,这是万万不可以的,因为句子和标点是英语惯用法(standard conventions)不是你的感觉能左右的。
举个例子吧:
Transforming landfills into parks has its pitfall, however, it is well worth the effort for communities to invest in these spaces. 18.5.NA
A. NO CHANGE
B. but
C. nonetheless
D. however
很多同学一上来就翻译意思,然后发现前后是个转折逻辑,但是纠结选项到底选哪个:想选but,但是感觉however也对。
其实,要想解除这个困境很容易,牢记下面的两种经典错误公式即可:
(1)句子,however句子
however是逻辑副词,不能取代连词FANBOYS,即for/and/nor/but/or/yet/so;其他的逻辑副词,比如thus/therefore/nonetheless都不可以取代FANBOYS
(2)句子,however,句子
很多同学把however当成插入语,这是错的,两个句子之间不不不存在着入语这种东西。
所以,上面这道题答案就是B啦,你答对了吗?
我们再来看看下面这个题:
Two books on the subject, one by architect Philip Steadman and the other by artist David Hockney, posited plausible theories that Vermeer relied on some kind of aid, there was no way, however, to confirm these suspicions. 17.12.AS-35
A. NO CHANGE
B. however, there was no way
C. but there was no way
D. there was no way
敲警钟!!一定要从头到尾分析句子
Two books on the subject是主语部分,逗号中间是插入语部分,posited plausible theories that Vermeer relied on some kind of aid是谓语部分,所以到这里是一个完整的句子,there was no way to confirm these suspicions 也是一个句子。
A选项和B的结构是一样的,都是句子,however,句子(只是A选项把however放在句子的中间而已)错误;D选项的结构是 句子,句子错误,两句之间不能逗号;所以答案就是C啦,结构是句子,but句子。
However的两种经典错误就和大家分享到这里了,SAT文法的一大特点就是实用。所以,不管考不考SAT,文法都是值得学一学的。更多分享欢迎大家继续关注新航道成都学校。如果还有其他疑问,或想了解SAT培训课程或考团的同学,可以咨询在线客服。
