介詞 如before, despite：後接名詞或動名詞 例：Before talking about the essential role of death penalty, you have to think about the meaning, and the purpose, of any kind of punishment.
副詞 副詞連接並列句，前面用句號或分號，後面用逗號(當然，如果副詞前用句號，那就是另起一句了，不稱之為並列句) 例：In many places today, children start primary school at around the age of six or seven. However, because it is more likely now that both parents work, there is little opportunities for children to stay in their own home up to that age.( 副詞另起一句) The crime rate is increasingly high; therefore, the government needs to enforce more laws to curb this situation. ( 副詞在並列句中)
短語 如on the contrary, in addition：用法和副詞用法完全一樣 例：They feel this is one area of life where they have the right to make decisions for themselves. For that reason, it would seem that the best approach would be work by persuasion rather than compulsion.
