1. AND (và)
+ chỉ sự thêm vào
Ex: The girl made the fire; the boys cooked the steaks.
=> The girl made the fire, and the boys cooked the steaks.
+ để nối hai động từ hay tính từ hoặc danh từ (một bộ phận của câu).
Ex: She sat down and cried. (Cô ấy ngồi xuống và khóc).
2. BUT (nhưng)
Dùng để nối hai câu có ý nghĩa trái ngược nhau.
Ex: He has a lot of money, but he is not happy.
3. SO (vì, để, vì vậy)
Có 3 cách dùng:
- Dùng để chỉ lý do.
Ex: I felt sleepy, so I went to bed.
- Dùng để chỉ mục đích.
Ex: I will give you some money, so you don’t need to borrow him.
- Dùng để chỉ kết quả.

4. BECAUSE (vì, bởi vì) chỉ nguyên nhân hoặc lý do
