什么是状语从句?
状语从句即指在主从复合句用作状语的从句。按照其意义,状语从句可分为时间状语从句、地点状语从句、原因状语从句、目的状语从句、结果状语从句、条件 状语从句、让步状语从句,方式状语从句、比较状语从句等。状语从句是英语学习 中的一个语法重点,也是历年高考、四六級和专升本等重大考试重点考查的内容之一。学习状语从句主要应注意引导状语从句的从属连词的用法与区別,以及从属 连词在一定的语言环境中的意义与用法。
时间状语从句的用法
1.引导时间状语从句的从属连词很多,常见的有before, after, when, while as, since,till, until, as soon as等。如:
Things were different when I was a child. 我小时候情况与现在不同。
We must strike while the iron is hot.我们要趁热打铁。
It's a long time since I met you last. 从上次见到你,已有很长时间了 。
He waited until she was about to leave.他等着一直到她准备离升。
2. 表示"当...时候"的while, when, as的用法区别是:while从句中的谓语动词 必须是延续性动词;表示带有规律性的"每当"或当主、从句谓语动词的动作发生 有先后时,只能用when;当表示"一边...一边..."或"随着"时,只能用as。另外,用 于此意的as所引导的时间状语从句谓语只能是动作动词,不能是状态动词。如下 面考题的答案是B而不能
A:"I'm going to the post office. " "__you 're there» can you get me some stamps?"
A. As B. While C. Because D. If
3.until在肯定句中通常只连用延续性动词,表示相应动作结束的时间;在否定 句中通常用not — until这一固定搭配,意为"直到…才"。如:
He waited until she was about to leave.他等着一直到她准备离开。
I did not begin to work until he had gone.他走了后我才升始工作。
4.表示"一...就..."除用as soon as外,还可用the moment , the minute ,the second , the instant , immediately , directly , instantly , no sooner .......than , hardly ......when , scarcely......before等。如:
I came immediately you called.你一来电话我就来了 。
Hardly (No sooner / Scarcely) had she arrived when ( than / before) it began to snow.
她刚到就下起雪来了 。
The moment I have finished I'll give you a call. 我一干完就给你打电话。
5.every time, each time» (the) next time, (the) last time, by the time,the first time, any time等以time结尾的词语也可用作连词,引导时间状语从句。如:
Next time you come in, please close the door.
下次你进来,请关门。
He didn't tell me anything the last time I saw him.
上次我见到他时他什么也没告诉我。
By the time I got home' she had already gone to bed.
我到家时她已睡觉了。
6.as引导的时间状语从句的谓语特点
Das引导时间状语从句表示"当...的时候"、"在...期间"时,该从句的谓 语通常是那些表示动作意义的动词,而不能是be(是、在),have(有),like(喜欢), belong (属于)等表示状态或静态意义的动词。
如:
我打算去邮局。当你在邮局的时候,请帮我买几张邮票好吗?
【误】 I'm going to the post office. ―As you are there ,can you get me some stamps?
【正】 I ,m going to the post office. ―While you are there, can you get me some stamps?
(2) 正因为as引导时间状语从句表示"当......的时候"、"在......期间"时,从 句的谓语不能是表示状态或静态,所以当下面第一句变为第二句这样的状语从句 时,不能再用as,而应用when。如:
As a student he had known great poverty. =When he was a student he had known great poverty.
(3) 但是,当as引导原因状语从句吋,其谓语动词可以是状态或静态动词如:
As there was very little support , the strike was not successful.
由于支持者很少,罢工未获成功。
As I was anxious to please him, I bought him a nice present.
因为我急于讨好他,我给他买了一件精美礼品。
As there isn 't anything more to do, I may as well go home early.
7.与时间状语从句有关的时态问题关于这个问题有两点值得注意:
(1)当主句为将来时态或具有将来意义时,时间状语从句通常要用一般现在 时表示将来意义,而不能直接使用将来时态。如: Turn off the lights before you leave.走前关灯。
I will tell him as soon as he arrives.他一来我就告诉他。
(2)与since从句搭配的主句的时态通常是现在完成时态。如:
He has lived here since 1999.
自1999年以来,他就一直住在这儿。
Where have you been since I last saw you?
自我上次见到你之后你到哪里去了?
【注】在特定的语言环境中有时也可能用过去完成时或一般现在时。
如:
It seems like years since we last met.我们似乎几年未见面了 。
Yesterday he told me that he hadn't eaten anything since Tuesday.
他昨天告诉我自星期二以来他一直未吃任何东西。
