参考
○（24）He missed the train, and he was late.

---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
（今回の解答）

○（25）He missed the train; therefore, he was late.
○（26）He missed the train; he was, therefore, late.
×（27）He missed the train; he was late, therefore.

解説：なんと(27)は×です。
　　　however の（８）は○なのに、therefore は×なのだそうです。
　　　どうやら、therefore は「それゆえに」という意味で、
　　　「therefore」が最後になったら「その直前が『それ』に該当」し
　　　おかしく見える模様です。

-----------

×（28）He missed the train, therefore, he was late.
×（29）He missed the train, he was, therefore, late.
×（30）He missed the train, he was late, therefore.

解説：, の後だと全部×ですね。これは however と同じです。

-----------

○（31）He missed the train. Therefore, he was late.
○（32) He missed the train. He was, therefore, late.
×（33）He missed the train. He was late, therefore.

解説：(33)も×です。理由は(27）が×なのと同じです。

-----------

○（34）He missed the train, and therefore, he was late.
○（35）He missed the train, and, therefore, he was late.

解説：これは両方とも○です。実は「(35)はあまりよくない」と xakyさんからは言われました。
　　　しかし、however の（18）（19）と違ってこちらは、特に（34）は立派な「○」なのです。
あ、
もう１つ忘れてた！
　↓これも正しいです。
○（36）He missed the train, and therefore he was late.
　　and therefore の後に「,」がないタイプです。おそらく(34)～(36）の中では、(36）が１番良い形でしょう。
---------------------------

いかがだったでしょうか？

「同じ接続副詞でも、however と therefore の使い方は同じではない」のです。

ややこしかったでしょう。

----------------------------
----------------------------
ちなみに…、

予定だと yet の接続副詞的な用法も学習するつもりでした。
接続副詞ばかりやってるとなんなので、ここで書いてしまいますね。


（37）She is a beautiful girl; yet she has no friends.
（38）She is a beautiful girl; yet, she has no friends.
（39）She is a beautiful girl; she has, yet, no friends.
（40）She is a beautiful girl; she has no friends, yet.

（41）She is a beautiful girl, yet she has no friends.
（42）She is a beautiful girl, yet, she has no friends.
（43）She is a beautiful girl, she has, yet, no friends.
（44）She is a beautiful girl, she has no friends, yet.

（45）She is a beautiful girl. Yet she has no friends.
（46）She is a beautiful girl. Yet, she has no friends.
（47）She is a beautiful girl. she has, yet, no friends.
（48）She is a beautiful girl. she has no friends, yet.

（49) Though she is a beautiful girl, but she has no friends.
（50) Though she is a beautiful girl, yet she has no friends.
（51) Though she is a beautiful girl, yet, she has no friends.
（52) Though she is a beautiful girl, she has, yet, no friends.
（53) Though she is a beautiful girl, she has no friends, yet.

できますか？

解答！

○（37）She is a beautiful girl; yet she has no friends.
×（38）She is a beautiful girl; yet, she has no friends.
×（39）She is a beautiful girl; she has, yet, no friends.
×（40）She is a beautiful girl; she has no friends, yet.

解説：yet の場合、「；」の直後のみOK。yetの後ろに「,」があっては駄目。

--------

○（41）She is a beautiful girl, yet she has no friends.
×（42）She is a beautiful girl, yet, she has no friends.
×（43）She is a beautiful girl, she has, yet, no friends.
×（44）She is a beautiful girl, she has no friends, yet.

解説：yet の場合、なんと「,」の直後に yet があってもOK。
これが、however や therefore と違うところ。しかし yet の後に「,」があっては駄目なのは同じ。

--------

○（45）She is a beautiful girl. Yet she has no friends.
×（46）She is a beautiful girl. Yet, she has no friends.
×（47）She is a beautiful girl. she has, yet, no friends.
×（48）She is a beautiful girl. she has no friends, yet.

解説：yet の場合も「.」の直後に yet があってもOK。しかし yet の後に「,」があっては駄目。

--------

×（49) Though she is a beautiful girl, but she has no friends.
○（50) Though she is a beautiful girl, yet she has no friends.
×（51) Though she is a beautiful girl, yet, she has no friends.
×（52) Though she is a beautiful girl, she has, yet, no friends.
×（53) Though she is a beautiful girl, she has no friends, yet.

解説：よ～～く見てください。（50）は○なのです。
　　　Though she is a beautiful girl, she has no friends.
(50)＝Though she is a beautiful girl, yet she has no friends.
文頭に though や although がある英文の場合、yet をつけても正しいのです。
ここは　however の（20）（21）と比較して欲しいところです。(50)は○なのです。

----------------------

う～～～ん、本当は他にも「nevertheless (それにもかかわらず）という接続副詞」の学習をしたかったのですがね～。今回はやめておきましょう。気になる人はぜひ何かで調べて置いてください。

それではまた来週～～～
