「雖然…;儘管…」句型寫法如下:
Adj / Adv + as + 主詞1 + 動詞1, 主詞2 + 動詞2

he failed the English test.
[連接詞「但是」,也可換成 whereas]
文法講座十四:主詞和動詞一致
英文句子的基本結構為:主詞 + 動詞 + 地點 + 時間;其中「主詞」和 「動詞」為必備要件,缺一不可,而「地點」和「時間」則可有可無。
分析句子結構時,得先找出「動詞」,「動詞」之前的部分即為「主詞」。「主詞」和 「動詞」需一致的的意思就是:「單數」主詞需搭配「單數」動詞,而「複數」主詞則需搭配「複數」動詞。
例句:斑馬身上的條紋幫助它躲避敵人。
A zebra’s stripes help this animal
hide from its enemies.
[主詞] [動詞]
主詞「斑馬身上的條紋」中,「斑馬的」為形容詞,不會影響動詞單複數,故重點在名詞「條紋」,stripes
為複數,需搭配「複數」動詞 help。
例句:撤銷贊助所有學校活動這決議已引發軒然大波。
The decision to withdraw all support from the school activities has caused an uproar.
[主詞]
[動詞]
主詞「撤銷贊助所有學校活動這決議」中,「to withdraw…activities」補充說明「決議」內容,為「主詞補語」,不會影響動詞單複數,故重點在名詞「決議」,the decision 為單數,需搭配「單數」動詞 has caused。
例句:陳偉殷,以及他的對友,在棒球場上是個可怕難纏的對手。
Wei-Yin Chen, together with his teammates,
presents a formidable opponent
in the baseball field.
[主詞]
[插入的補述句] [動詞]
「插入的補述句」不會影響動詞單複數,故重點在主詞「陳偉殷」,主詞為單數,需搭配「單數」動詞
presents。
例句:站在兩個醋勁大發的女友間的那名男子,突然被一張天外飛來的椅子擊中。
Suddenly, the man
standing between his two jealous girlfriends was
hit by a flying chair.
[主詞]
[動詞]
主詞「站在兩個醋勁大發的女友間的那名男子」中,「站在女友間的」( standing …
girlfriends )為「形容詞」,不會影響動詞單複數,故重點在名詞「男子」,the man 為單數,需搭配「單數」動詞 was hit。
例句:兩個女孩都還沒交英文作文。
Neither of the girls has turned in the
English compositions.
[主詞] [動詞]
主詞由「數量詞 of 名詞」組成,動詞單複數必須視「數量詞」而定。數量詞 neither 意指「沒半個」,為單數,需搭配「單數」動詞 has turned。
文法講座十五:介係詞「雖然儘管」despite;in spite of
介係詞「雖然;儘管」despite、in
spite of、for all、with all,用於承接語意有所轉折的句子,後方都需搭配「名詞」。而「雖然;儘管」despite the fact that 和 in spite of the fact
that 為「連接詞」,後方需連接「句子」( 主詞 + 動詞 )。
例句:儘管生病了,Helen昨天還是去上學。
■ 可用「介係詞」來寫:

Helen went to school yesterday.
[介係詞] [名詞]
