Consequently” và “Consequence” có liên quan về nghĩa nhưng khác nhau hoàn toàn về từ loại và cách dùng. Dưới đây là bảng so sánh chi tiết:
Consequence (Danh từ) Hậu quả, kết quả (thường tiêu cực hoặc trung lập) của một hành động/sự kiện.
- The consequence of skipping class is failing the exam. <br></br> (Hậu quả của việc bỏ học là thi trượt).
Consequently (Trạng từ) | Do đó, vì vậy (dùng để chỉ kết quả logic của một sự việc trước đó). | - He didn’t study. Consequently, he failed. <br></br> (Anh ấy không học. Do đó, anh ấy trượt). |
Phân biệt sâu hơn:
1. “Consequence” (Danh từ):
- Nhấn mạnh kết quả cụ thể (thường đi với giới từ “of”).
- Có thể dùng số nhiều: “serious consequences” (những hậu quả nghiêm trọng).
- Ví dụ thêm:
- Pollution has harmful consequences for health.
(Ô nhiễm có hậu quả xấu đến sức khỏe).
-
“Consequently” (Trạng từ):
- Dùng để nối hai mệnh đề nguyên nhân - kết quả, thường đứng đầu câu hoặc sau dấu phẩy.

- Ví dụ thêm:
- She forgot her passport. Consequently, she couldn’t board the plane.
(Cô ấy quên hộ chiếu. Vì vậy, cô ấy không thể lên máy bay).

“Consequently” + mệnh đề:
