Grammar
Explanation
HSK 1-9
连
连 is the preposition, it is often used in the structure 连……也/都…… for emphasis. The speaker explains another kind of situation by emphasizing an extreme case. The noun following 连 can be the subject. eg, 如果连你自己都不喜欢自己,又怎么能让别人喜欢你呢?And, the noun following 连 can also be a prepositive object. eg, 你太厉害了!连中文报纸都看得懂。
HSK 4
否则
否则 is the conjunction, it means "if not..., then...". The sentence following it indicates the result inferred from the previous sentence or offers another choice. eg, 他一定有重要的事找你,否则不会打这么多次电话来。
HSK 4
无论
无论 is the conjunction, it means the result or conclusion won't change under any circumstances, usually used in the structure 无论……都/也. It can be followed by coordinate alternatives, or an interrogative pronoun referring to anybody or anything. eg, 无论做什么事都要注意方法,正确的方法可以让我们做得更好。
HSK 4
无论 vs 不管
Similarity: Both can be used as conjunctions, usually together with "都/也",to indicate that the result or conclusion won't change under any circumstances. Both can be followed by an interrogative pronoun referring to anybody or anything or by coordinate alternatives. eg, 无论/不管干什么事情,最好都能提前做好计划。Differences: 1, 不管 is often used in spoken Chinese and cannot take formal and classical words such as 如何 and 是否, while 无论, which is often used in written Chinese, has no such restriction. 无论如何,我都不会离开你。2, 不管 can be followed by an affirmative-negative form; when 无论 is followed by an affirmative-negative form, 还是/跟/与 is usually used between the affirmative and negative constituents. eg, 不管热不热,他总是穿这么多。
HSK 4
然而
然而 is the conjunction, it is used at the beginning of the second half of a sentence to indicate a turn in meaning, usually used in written Chinese. It can be followed by a comma to indicate a pause. eg, 他虽然失败了很多次,然而一直没有放弃。
HSK 4
同时
同时 is the conjunction, it introduces a further remark, often used together with 又/也/还. eg, 因为小孩子的想法没有那么复杂,所以他们总是很快乐。同时,小孩子也是最诚实的。The noun 同时 indicates that two actions take place at the same time, often used in the structure 在……(的)同时 (when/while...). eg, 在学习汉语的同时,我还了解了中国文化,认识了很多中国朋友。
HSK 4
除了……以外,都/还/也……
"除了……以外,都/还/也…… (all...except...)" indicates that except the part being mentioned, all the others in a specific scope are the same in a certain way. 以外 can be left out. (除了他以为,大家都听懂了。) 2, "除了……以外,还/也…… (besides...)" indicates that there are still others besides the part being mentioned. The subject is put at the beginning of the sentence or right before 还/也. (除了唱歌以为,他还喜欢跳舞。)
HSK 3

(他不仅学习好,而且体育也很好。)
