用法說明
How is "Conjunction" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Conjunction"?
連接子句 vs 連接單詞或片語
- 連接子句：當
conjunction連接兩個獨立子句時，通常需要在其前面加上逗號，以分隔兩個完整的想法。 - 連接單詞或片語：當
conjunction僅連接兩個單詞或片語時，通常不需要逗號。 - 對等連接詞 vs 從屬連接詞：
and,but,or這類對等連接詞連接文法地位相等的元素；而because,although,if這類從屬連接詞則引導一個從屬子句，為主要子句提供背景或條件。 EN: She was tired, but she finished her work. 翻譯: 她很累，但她還是完成了工作。
EN:She was tired but determined.
翻譯:她雖然累但決心堅定。
總結建議
一般來說，連接兩個獨立子句時使用逗號，僅連接單詞或片語時則不需要。

正式寫作注意：在學術或正式商業寫作中，應謹慎使用 in conjunction with，確保其邏輯上確實表示兩件事物共同作用。在口語中因其稍顯冗長而常用的情況，在正式寫作中可能被視為不必要或模糊的措辭，可考慮使用更精確的詞語如 "together with"、"combined with" 或 "alongside"。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Conjunction"?Which "Conjunction" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×Although he was tired, but he continued working.
✓Although he was tired, he continued working.
在英文中，although/though 和 but 不能同時使用來引導同一個子句。它們都是連接詞，擇一使用即可。
×I will call you when I will arrive.
✓I will call you when I arrive.
在時間子句（由 when, as soon as, before, after 等引導）中，若主要子句是未來式，時間子句需用現在式表示未來。
×Because he was late, so he missed the bus.
✓Because he was late, he missed the bus.
和 although/but 的規則類似，because 和 so 都是連接詞，不能同時用來連接同一組因果關係的句子。應擇一使用。
×Neither John or Mary can attend the meeting.
✓Neither John nor Mary can attend the meeting.
搭配 neither 的正確連接詞是 nor，而不是 or。這是固定的配對用法。
×She is not only intelligent, and also hardworking.
✓She is not only intelligent but also hardworking.
搭配 not only 的正確連接詞是 but also，而不是 and also。這是固定的關聯連接詞組合。
×I like both tea as well as coffee.
✓I like both tea and coffee.
both 必須與 and 搭配使用，形成 "both A and B" 的結構。"as well as" 雖然意思相近，但不能與 "both" 連用。
