Unless:conj.除非,如果不
unless是从属连词,引导条件状语从句,含有否定意义,相当于if条件状语从句的否定形式.所以unless = if not.注意:unless引导的条件状语从句和if条件状语从句,与其它时间状语从句一样,用一般现在时代替将来时.

(如果不多加小心的话,你会出事故的.)
2.My baby sister never cries unless she is hungry.
(我那刚出生的妹妹除非饿了,否则她是从来不哭的.)
3.Unless bad weather stops me,I jog every day.
(除非坏天气阻拦我,否则每天我都慢跑的.)

2.although引导的从句放在主句前后均可,有时还可放在句中.

3.although引导的从句不能与but,however连用,但可与yet,still连用.不能说:Although he was old,but he worked hard.应把but去掉.当然,保留but而去Although也可.
注意:although 的几不:
although不能指假设的情况
although不能作并列连词
although不能作副词,放在词尾
