二、词义辨析：

though,although,as

这些连词均可表示“虽然，尽管”之意。though和although在意义上几乎毫无区别，但文体上后者是较正式用词，语气比though强。此外，在习惯用法上这两个词仍有以下一些差异：gh可引出倒装语序的让步状语从句，although 则不能。gh可与even连用，although则不能；在as though结构中，只用though，不能用although。gh可以置于从句末，而although则不能。4.引出省略句时，通常用though。as引出让步状语从句只用于倒装语序结构中，语气强于上述两个连词。

三、词义辨析：

as,because,for,since

这些连词均含有“因为”之意。as从属连词，语意较because,since弱，着重在主句，所表示的原因或理由是“附带的”。because从属连词，语意强，着重直接的原因或理由，所引出的从句是全句的重心，用以回答why提出的问题。for并列连词，语气较弱，所引出的句子一般放在后面，表示附带说明的理由或推断理由。since语意比because弱，但比as强，一般用于表示“由于大家已知的事实”。

四、词义辨析：

when,while,as

这些连词均可表示“当……时”引出时间从句。when所引导的从句，其谓语动词既可是持续动词，也可是短暂动词；谓语动词动作发生的时间可以与主句谓语动词的动作是同时，或之前、之后。 while句中的谓语动词应为持续动词，不用短暂动词，谓语动作发生的时间通常与主句谓语动词动作发生时间是同时。as侧重指从句与主句的动作同时进行，谓语动词可以是持续性的，可以是短暂性动词。
