问题描述:

Tom was nowhere to be found.His teacher looked everywhere for him but in vain.
这句子是个改错题,看不出哪里错了,答案把but in vain.前面加了个“,”变成Tom was nowhere to be found.His teacher looked everywhere for him,but in vain.

but连接两个并列的句子,完整说法是:His teacher looked for him everywhere,but he(the teacher) was in vain.
听我的,一定没问题.....

但是没用,但是徒劳

but连接两个并列的句子,完整说法是:His teacher looked for him everywhere,but he(the teacher) was in vain.

but是连词,连接两个句子,加上逗号就成两个句子,后面一句其实是he is in vain的省略。
