2. 关于英语的逗号 这样就对了:Hello everybody!I like applesbut I dont like banbanas.For girls, we have skirts.Last night I read a book.英语中常见的逗号用法用在由并列连词连接的两个平行词句之间,连词可说出,也可省略: 1.a.用在平行的词之间: A good house,a good car,a good wife are what he wants. [名词并列,主语](noun,compound-subject)I can read light,serious,amusing,or profound works of English authors. [形容词并列,修饰宾语](adjective,objective)Do you see that tall,big,husky fellow?

[介词,构成状语](preposition,adverbial)He is honest,but silly.[形容词并列,表语](adjective,predicative) I like this,rather than that.[名词+并列同置](noun,apposition,object) 但:He is an English grammar teacher.It is a diamond wedding party.It is a Chinese New Year celebration. b.注意写法: Music,painting,and poetry are all interesting to him.(美国英语中and前多加逗号) Music,painting and poetry are….(正确,英国多这样写 。)
Music,painting,and poetry,are….(不好) c.逗号可由and,or,nor代替: Music and painting and poetry are… Neither music nor painting nor poetry is… d.逗号须用在etc.,and so on,and the like的前面和后面: Music,painting,poetry,etc.(or and so on,and the like),are…. e.逗号须用在重复的词前: What I need is money,money,money.

John studies art and I study science. 4.用在由or,and或but连接的两对知识之间: You can go by night or by day,by sea or by land. He is honest but clever,thin but hard-working. 5.如果两个相似结构共有一个宾语,逗号须要用在第二个结构的前面和后面: He depends on,and is trusted by,his uncle. He did it in accordance with,and in defence of,the law.

He loves,or pretends to love,his wife. —但在一个短的不强调的词前后不加逗号: He was murdered inside or near the jungle. 6.用在插入词的前面和(或)后面: a.用在yes,no,sure,personally,probably,certainly, usually;in general,in the first place,in my opinion,in any case,as a matter of fact;strictly speaking 这类修饰语的后面 :Unfortunately,Mary caught cold yesterday.

Jimmy,I must say,shouldn't listen to the rumour. b.用在furthermore,similarly,accordingly,anyway, otherwise;above all,in the same way,in other words,in contrast这类连接副词(短语)的后面: He lost lots of money;as a result,he got sick.

Plants,with enough water and sunshine,will grow fast. The boy,to earn more money,worked harder. 但是:The thief seeing the police began to run away. (还有其他没看见警察的小偷,这里的分词短语为限制性定语,而前面句子中,逗号后的分词短语为非限制性(或解释性)分词,带状语性质 。) The house on the opposite side is my uncle's. The boy to earn more money worked harder.(There were other boys who did not have to earn more.) c.用在句末的非限制性(解释性)分词(带状语性质)前面: He sat in a chair,reading papers. 但在句末的不定式前不宜用逗号: He sat down to read papers. 8.用在呼语的后面或(和)前面: John,come here.
