  • twins是复数,后面跟are.

    for ,because,as,since这四个词作为连词,都有"因为"的意思,但它们在用法上有区别:

    because 是从属连词,接表示直接原因的从句,一般放在主句的后面,也可放在主句前面,它表示的语气最强,在回答why的问句时,必须用because.

    例如:The swimming pool won't be open today because they're making repairs.

    游泳池今天不开放,因为他们在修理.

    Why did you move to France?

    你们为什么搬到法国?

    Because my father found work in Paris.

    因为我父亲在巴黎找到了工作.

    注意:在英语中用了because后,不可再用so.

    as 是从属连词,说明一般的因果关系,语气比because弱,说明比较明显的原因,它引导的从句通常放在句首,有时也可放在句末.

    例如:As it is raining,you'd better take a taxi.

    天下雨了,你最好乘出租车.

    since 意为"既然",表示对方已知的无需加以说明的原因或事实,语气比because弱,但是比as 强.

    例如:Since we have no money,we can't buy that vase.

    既然我们没钱,我们就不能买那花瓶.

    Since everybody is here,let's begin our party.

    既然大家都到了,那就开始我们的聚会吧!

    for 是并列连词,用来附带解释说明前一分句的原因或理由,for引导的并列句,一般放在所要说明的句子的后面.

    例如:I went to see him,for I had something to tell him.

    我去见他,因为我有事要告诉他.
