GMAT语法常用词组大盘点(一).

　　GMAT语法部分的常用词组有哪些呢?澳际留学于近期总结了一批GMAT语法的常用词组，并推荐给广大考生，目前正在积极备战GMAT考试的同学不妨参考一下。

　　1. Just as ...., so

　　This is a idiom. Just remember it.

　　2. in that vs because - in that is used to talk about some aspects, and because is used to talk about all aspects

　　Example :

　　Going to Ivy league college is very stressfull because it includes huge expenses.

　　means

　　Going to Ivy league college is very stressfull in all aspects

　　Going to Ivy league college is very stressfull in that it includes huge expenses.

　　means

　　Going to Ivy league college is very stressfull from economic point of view.

　　3.

　　so + adjective/adverb/noun + that + sentence

　　Example - So hard that

　　so + adjective/adverb/noun + as + infinitive

　　Example - So hard as to

　　Example :

　　Usage - Something is so beautiful that... is prerred over so beautiful is soemthing that...

　　4. Although all the shows telecast were not live - It means none of the shows were telecast live

　　Although not all the shows were telecast live - It means some of them were telecast live.

　　5. such as - Means for example

　　6. in order to do - short form is to do

　　7. I hate him, for he is a christian - the word for means because

　　8. Greater numbers is prerrable to more numbers

　　9. usage of so as to and so that

　　First, you should know that such + noun + as to is much less common than so + adj/adv + as to.

　　Now, for the difference between these two. I think these are best illustrated with examples:

　　Xue Mei spoke in such a way as to calm us down.

　　The sales materials are presented in such a way as to encourage attendees to purchase the products on the spot.

　　These usages focus on doing an action and paying to that action while you are doing it so that the action creates

　　a result. To simplify a bit, these usages answer the question, Why did you do it in that way?

　　So, the most common words to use with this pattern are way, manner, etc.

　　Compare these similar sentences:

　　Xue Mei spoke so that we would stop asking her questions.

　　The sales materials are presented at the end of the meetings so that the participants won‘t realize the meeting

　　is actually a sales presentation.

　　The part that comes after so... that... answers the question WHY.

　　10. equally well vs as well

　　as well - means also

　　equally well - is used for comparision.

　　11. because is prerrable to Since is prerrable to being

　　12. Rather than is (usually) a conjunction, NOT a preposition; instead of is a preposition, NOT a conjunction.

　　13. Absolute phrase example

　　I chose A, which is the right answer, but I don‘t really understand why. Is A an absolute phrase?

　　For several decades after 1830, Paterson was among the fastest growing cities, its population nearly doubling every ten years.

　　a...

　　b. with nearly doubled population every ten years.

　　c. its population was almost twice as much every ten years.

　　d. every ten years its population was almost doubled

　　e. almost every ten years population was twice as much

　　Paterson was among the fastest growing cities, and its population was nearly doubling every ten years.

　　That‘s the main idea with absolute phrases, since they never include the conjunction or the verb. You should also know that when the -ing form or being is correct, it‘s because these words are in an absolute phrase;

　　Country X saw dramatic increases in many industries, with industry Y being the industry with the greatest increase.

　　14 Usage of likelihood

　　1. likelihood that something will happen

　　2. likelihood of something

　　Example

　　Likelihood that violence will errupt.

　　Likelihood of snowing today is low.
