并列句的四种基本类型：
一、转折并列句
主要由but(但是）, yet(可是）, while(而，却）等连词连接。如：

二、选择并列句
主要由or (或者，还是，否则）, either…or…（不是…就是…）, neither…or…（既不…也不…）, otherwise (要不然）等连词连接。

Either say you’re sorry or else get out!你要么道歉，要么滚开！

注：neither…nor…连接两个句子，注意用倒装语序。
三、联合并列句
主要由and, not only…but also…（不但…而且…）, when(=and just at this time就在这时）等连词连接。如：
Give him an inch and he will take a mile.他会得寸进尺。
Not only did he speak more correctly, but he spoke more easily.不仅他讲得更正确，也讲得更不费劲了。

四、因果并列句
主要由for(因为）, so(因此）等连词连接。
He shook his head, for he thought differently.他摇了摇头，因为他有不同想法。
