but后面的动词分为三种形式:
(1)but前面有实义动词do或其他形式时,后面的动词不定式不带to;否则,带to。例:
I can do anything but sing.我就是不会唱歌。
I have no choice but to move.除了搬家,我别无选择。
She wanted nothing but to stay with him. 她只是想和他呆在一起。
(2)在nothing to do之后,动词不定式带不带to均可。例:
I have nothing to do but (to) wait. 我只好等着,没有别的方法。
There was nothing to do but (to) remain.只能留下来。
(3)在cannot choose but, cannot help but, cannot but后,动词不定式不带to。例:She could not choose but leave her children at home.她只好把孩子留在家里。
She could not but choose to leave her children at home.她忍不住把孩子们留在家里。
1.英文连接词是连接英文单词的词,如also,and等。英语有486,000个左右的单词,而连接词却只有70个左右,它们总是非常高频率的出现在各类文章、对话、电邮等英语实际沟通中。
2.英文连接词像胶水一样将相关联的句子连接起来,国际心理学家、语言学家、教育家Chris Lonsdale 龙飞虎又把它称之为“胶水词”。
3.连词分类
一表示承接的过渡词:also,and,and then,too,in addition,furthermore,moreover,what's more, again,on top of that,another,first,second,third等。
二表示时间顺序的过渡词:now,then,before,after,afterwards,earlier,later,immediately,soon,next,in a few days,gradually,suddenly,finally··等。(但是你可以感受到这些词是副词,所以原词条对于“连接词”即连词是错误的)
三表示空间顺序的过渡词:near(to),far(from),in front of,behind,beside,beyond,above,below,to the right/left,around,outside等。
四表示比较的过渡词:in the same way,just like,just as等。
