狀語(yǔ)從句用法總結(jié)
下面是小編整理的一些關(guān)于狀語(yǔ)從句用法的總結(jié), 希望能幫助大家更好地認(rèn)識(shí)狀語(yǔ)從句,提高英語(yǔ)水平。
一、由when, while, as引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句
1. when引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞可以是延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞,也可以是瞬時(shí)動(dòng)詞。when有時(shí)表示“就在那時(shí)”。如:
When she came in, I was doing some housework. (瞬時(shí)動(dòng)詞)
When I lived with the Smiths, we used to discuss international issues together. (延續(xù)性的動(dòng)詞)
We were about to leave when he came in. (when表示“就在那時(shí)”)
2. while引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞必須是延續(xù)性的,并強(qiáng)調(diào)主句和從句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞所表示的動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生(或者相對(duì)應(yīng))。如:
While my wife was reading the newspaper, I was watching TV.
(was reading是延續(xù)性的動(dòng)詞,was reading和was watching同時(shí)發(fā)生)
3. as 引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞表示延續(xù)性的動(dòng)作,一般用于主句和從句動(dòng)作同時(shí)
發(fā)生,有時(shí)也可以強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作一先一后發(fā)生。如:
We always sing as we walk.
As we were playing out, it began to snow.
二、由till或until引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句
till和until一般情況下兩者可以互換,但是在強(qiáng)調(diào)句型中多用until。需要注意的是:如果主句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是瞬時(shí)動(dòng)詞時(shí),必須用否定形式;如果主句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞時(shí),用肯定或否定形式都可以,但表達(dá)的意思不同。如:
Don’t open it till your birthday.
It was not until the meeting was over that he began to teach me English.
Continue in this direction until you see a sign.
I didn’t work until he came back.
三、由since引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句
1. 若since引導(dǎo)的狀語(yǔ)從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是終止性的過(guò)去時(shí),則從句表示的時(shí)間是“從動(dòng)作開(kāi)始的那一時(shí)刻起”。如:
He has studied very hard since he came to our school.
We have been missing them since they left here.
2. 若since引導(dǎo)的狀語(yǔ)從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是持續(xù)性動(dòng)詞或表示狀態(tài)的動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去式時(shí),則從
句表示的時(shí)間是“從那持續(xù)動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)結(jié)束時(shí)算起”。如:
How long is it since you lived in Shanghai?
John is now with his parents in New York. It is already three years since he was a teacher.
四、由as soon as, immediately等引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句
as soon as, immediately, directly, instantly, the moment, the instant, the minute等這些詞語(yǔ)均表示“一……就……”。如:
I want to see her the moment she arrives.
I came immediately I heard the news.
注意:hardly (scarcely, rarely) … when / before; no sooner … than也表示“剛……就……”,但是其主句使用過(guò)去完成時(shí),從句用一般過(guò)去時(shí),而且,當(dāng)hardly, scarcely, rarely和no sooner位于句首時(shí),主句應(yīng)用倒裝語(yǔ)序。如:
Hardly had we begun our walk when it began to rain.
I had no sooner left than she called.
五、由each time, every time引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。如:
Each time she moved her head she let out a moan.
六、由by the time引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句
如果從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用一般過(guò)去式,主句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用過(guò)去完成時(shí);如果主句的謂動(dòng)詞用一般現(xiàn)在式,主句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用將來(lái)完成式。如:
By the time they get here, we’ll have finished the work.
By the time you come here tomorrow, I will have finished this work.
七、由the first time引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句
the first time常引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句,其重點(diǎn)不是講第一次做什么,而是說(shuō)明另一動(dòng)作或情況;也可以作表語(yǔ),強(qiáng)調(diào)到說(shuō)話為止某一情況或動(dòng)作的次數(shù)。如:
I knew we would be good friends the first time I met her.
比較:for the first time表示有生以來(lái)或一段時(shí)間內(nèi)第一次做某事,在句中一般單獨(dú)作狀語(yǔ)。如:
The two girl students talked for the first time at the beginning of the term.
