逗號、分號、冒號是SAT寫作中不可或缺的三大標點符號,它們對文章質量有很大影響,但往往不在考生備考范圍內。下面小編帶大家瀏覽一下這三大標點符號的使用規則,以期考生能盡快掌握,提高sat寫作水平。
1. 逗號使用3規則:
1). 使用逗號來分開插入從句和短語;
例如:
Gordon, who is a writer by profession, bakes an excellent cheesecake.
2).用逗號分開系列成分。如果有2個以上相同成分,則應用逗號分開;
例如:
My recipe for buttermilk biscuits contains flour, soda and buttermilk.
3).在引導性分詞或介詞短語后使用逗號;
例如:
After the banquet, Harold and Martha went dancing.
4).利用逗號來分開連詞連接的獨立從句。
例如:
Susan’s old car has been belching blue smoke from the tailpipe for two weeks, but it has not broken down yet.
2.分號使用兩大規則:
1) 使用分號而不是并列連詞來連接兩個含義緊密的獨立從句;
例如:
Whooping cranes are an endangered species; they are unlikely to survive if we continue to pollute.
2)therefore、nevertheless和moreover等詞連接的獨立從句可用分號隔開。
(sat)例如:
The staff meeting has been postponed until next Thursday; therefore, I will be unable to get approval for my project until then.
3.冒號使用3大規則:
1).在正式的寫作中,冒號的作用僅在于表明其后是對前面所述內容的詳細說明、定義、解釋或過去發生事情的概述。冒號之前一般是獨立從句,并且通常情況下有as follows、the following、namely或like等提示短語。
例如:
正確:Your instructions are as follows: read the passage carefully, answer the questions on the last page, and turn over your answer sheet.
2).動詞和直接賓語間不要放冒號。
例如:
錯誤:I want: a slice of pizza and a small green salad.
正確:This is what I want: A slice of pizza and a small green salad.
3).如果前后兩句話有如上所述的緊密關系,即使沒有上述表示這層關系的短語,也可使用冒號,并且在這種情況下,句號也可用。
例如:
正確:We were aghast: The “charming country inn” that had been advertised in such glowing terms proved to be a leaking cabin full of mosquitoes.
