In Chinese, many high-frequency conjunctions are mandatory pairs. For example:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>You must use <strong>\u56e0\u4e3a&#8230; \u6240\u4ee5&#8230;<\/strong> (y\u012bnw\u00e8i&#8230; su\u01d2y\u01d0&#8230;, because&#8230; so&#8230;) to complete the logical loop. In English, we rarely say &#8220;I study hard, so I get good grades.&#8221; in formal writing, but the pair is common and often necessary in Chinese.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sentence Placement:<\/strong> English sometimes allows connectors like &#8220;however&#8221; or &#8220;but&#8221; to start the sentence (<em>&#8220;However, the dog ran away.&#8221;<\/em>) or appear in the middle.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>In Chinese, the connector is almost always placed before the clause it modifies, and single words like <strong>\u4f46\u662f<\/strong> (d\u00e0nsh\u00ec, but) typically introduce the second clause, not the sentence&#8217;s absolute beginning (in speech, exceptions occur).<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Topic First Logic:<\/strong> Chinese often prefers putting the background or condition first. <strong>\u867d\u7136&#8230;\u4f46\u662f&#8230;<\/strong> (<em>su\u012br\u00e1n&#8230; d\u00e0nsh\u00ec&#8230;<\/em>, although&#8230; but&#8230;) requires the concession (<em>Although it was difficult<\/em>) to be stated before the result (<em>but I finished it<\/em>). This reinforces a <strong>topic-first<\/strong> thinking pattern compared to subject-first English.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoiding Redundancy:<\/strong> English can use &#8220;and&#8221; to connect many ideas. Chinese often demands more specific, logical connectors (<strong>\u5e76\u4e14<\/strong>, <strong>\u800c\u4e14<\/strong>), rather than overusing <strong>\u548c<\/strong> (<em>h\u00e9<\/em>, and) to connect long clauses or sentences.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"share-the-top-categories-and-words\"><\/span>Share the Top Categories and Words<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make it easy, we can group <strong>Chinese conjunction words<\/strong> by the kind of relationship they show.
