Basic Conjunctions 基本連接詞
Notes & Exercise
✏️因果關係 (because / as / since / so)
👉 because / since / as 全部都可以解釋為「因為」
不過語氣會有少少唔同： because 比較直接；since 同 as 比較書面。
📘例子：
-
I stayed home because it was raining. （我留喺屋企，因為出面落雨。）
-
Since you're here, let's start the meeting. （既然你到咗，我哋開始開會啦。）
-
I was absent yesterday, as I was sick.（因為我生病了，所以我你法出席。）
👉 so （所以）
帶出結果； 用於句子中間，要跟 comma
📘例子：
-
He was tired, so he went to bed.（佢攰，所以佢去瞓覺。）
-
You’re right, so I’m going to change that. (你啱呀，所以我馬上去修改。)
轉折關係 (but / although / even though)
👉 but 但是
📘例子：
- I like football, but I don't play it often. （我鍾意足球，但係唔係成日踢。）
👉 although / even though （雖然 / 即使)
📘例子：
-
Although it was cold, she didn’t wear a jacket. （雖然好凍，但佢冇著褸。）
-
Even though he studied, he failed the test. （即使佢有讀書，佢都唔合格。）
📌 although 同 even though 都解「雖然」，但 even though 語氣更強。
Common Mistakes with Although / Even though
📌 although 同 even though 是不會跟 but 一同使用
例子：
-
Although it’s cold, but I don’t want to wear a jacket. ❌
-
Although it’s cold, I don’t want to wear a jacket. ✅
雖然天氣凍，但我不想穿外套
時間關係 (when)
👉 When 當
📘例子：
- When I was young, I played video games every day.（當我細個嘅時候，我每日打機。）
When 可以放前面或者中間都得：
- I played video games every day when I was young.
