连词是十大词类的重要内容之一。连词不但表明一种语义关系，还具有连接语言成分的功能，在英语各种词类中，连词数量虽少，却发挥着举足轻重的作用。它在中学英语考试中，属于必考内容。那么，作为毕业班的中学英语教师，怎样作好连词的复习呢？既要做到有针对性，有要做到有全面性。我经过多年的探索和总结，总结出以下一些教学经验和心得，与同仁们共勉。

首先，当然要知道中考中连词考哪些知识点以及这些的用法。总的来说，中学英语的连词考察两大类：（一）并列连词（二）从属连词。

考纲规定中学课本中从七年级到九年级中常见的并列连词及用法如下：1.and “和、又、而”（1） 连接对等关系的词与词、句子与句子，不必译出Im a teacher， and he is a teacher， too. （2）句式：祈使句，+and 句子=If you---， youll---。①Use your head， and youll find a good idea. ②Hurry up， and youll catch the early train.=If you hurry up， youll catch the early train. 2.but：“但是、否则”，表示转折（1） “但是，可是”，but连接的句子习惯省区与前面相同的成分。He finished his homework quite early， but didnt do it very well.（2）Lily likes piano. But Lucy doesnt.（3）He is very old. But he still works very hard.（4）She can speak Japanese and Russian. She cant speak Japanese or Russian. 3.or：“或者”，表选择；“否则”，含转折含义，可用条件句代替（1）Go to see the doctor at once， or your cold may get worse.（2）Hurry up， or youll miss the early train. =If you dont hurry， youll miss the early train. 4.for：因为，标原因 （1）只说明解释而已。而because具有因果关系 I asked him to come here， for I had sth. to tell him.（2）The boy went to sleep soon， for he was tired. 5.so：“因此”，表因果，前句可用because引导的原因状语从句替换 Its raining outside， so I must stay at home. 6.yet：“然而”，表示让步The old teacher is very tired， yet she still works very hard. 7.both---and“两者都---”（1） 连接主语，用动词复数Both he and I are good at playing football.（2）She can both write and speak English very well. 8.not only---but also“不但---而且”，连接主语时，动词用就近原则 Not only you but also your father draws well.注：both---and = not only---but also. 9.either---or或者---或者；不是---就是---（1） You can leave either today or tomorrow.（2）否定句中表示全否定Either you or he isnt right.（3） You can stay either in the garden or in the reading room. 10.neither---nor“既不---也不”（1）连接主语，动词用就近原则 Neither you nor he is right.（2）连表语The rope is either too long too short. 11.nor：用于加强语气，用倒装表示“也不”I dont know him， nor do I know where he comes from.注：not only ---but also；either ---or； neither---nor连接主语时，动词用“就近原则”。

考纲规定中学课本中从七年级到九年级中常见的从属连词及用法如下：1.引导宾语从句的：（1）That：无词义，可省去。My mother told us that the moon is round. （2）Whether：“是否”，用于否定句中。Can you tell me whether you go there or not？（3）If：“是否”，用于肯定句中。……
