Ah, le congiunzioni: non sono forse l’argomento grammaticale pi\u00f9 indispensabile? Come saprai, si tratta di particelle invariabili con cui puoi collegare due o pi\u00f9 parole di una frase, oppure due proposizioni tra loro: senza di esse, comunicare qualcosa di senso compiuto \u00e8 piuttosto difficile! Chiarita la loro importanza, non rimane che approfondire – per bene – quali sono e quando si usano le congiunzioni in inglese:<\/strong> continua a leggere per saperne di pi\u00f9, soprattutto se ti stai preparando per la certificazione B1!<\/a><\/p>\n\n

Congiunzioni in inglese: quando si usano?<\/h2>\n\n

Andiamo per ordine: proprio come in italiano, anche\u00a0le congiunzioni<\/strong> in inglese <\/strong>si dividono tra<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Coordinative<\/span> (uniscono due frasi principali)<\/li>\n
  • Subordinative<\/span> (uniscono una principale e una o pi\u00f9 subordinate)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Congiunzioni in inglese coordinative<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • AND<\/em><\/strong> funziona come l\u2019italiana \u201ce\u201d, e unisce due concetti simili fra loro<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      milk and<\/u> coffee<\/em>
      \nI bought bread and<\/u> you ate it all<\/em><\/p>\n

      • OR<\/em><\/strong> si traduce con \u201coppure\u201d e indica un\u2019alternativa<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        right or<\/u> wrong<\/em>
        \nDo you want jam or<\/u> ham in your sandwich?<\/em><\/p>\n

          \n
        • BUT<\/em> <\/strong>non significa solo \u201cma\u201d; esprime anche il concetto di \u201ctranne\/tranne che\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          \nYou said \u201chi\u201d to everyone but<\/u> Matt<\/em><\/p>\n

            \n
          • SO<\/em><\/strong> nel suo uso come congiunzione, significa \u201cperch\u00e9\/perci\u00f2\/quindi\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            \nI made this gift for you, so<\/u> please accept it<\/em><\/p>\n

              \n
            • YET<\/em> <\/strong>come congiunzione, indica \u201ceppure\/nonostante\/tuttavia\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                \n
              • NOR<\/strong> <\/em>(e\u00a0NEITHER<\/em><\/strong>) significa \u201cn\u00e9\u201d, e si usa per unire due frasi negative. La prima delle due si dovrebbe far precedere da neither<\/em>, ma nel parlato spesso si usa semplicemente un altro nor.\u00a0<\/em>Attenzione! Se\u00a0la frase principale \u00e8 negativa, neither<\/em> si pu\u00f2 omettere<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
