时间状语从句及练习
时间状语从句 常见的从属连词有注意其汉语意义 when, while, as, before, after, since, until till once as soon as, the moment, the minute, immediately, directly, each/every time, the first time, the last time, next time, by the time, whenever 等。例如 Every/Each time I was in trouble, he would come to my help. I thought her nice and honest the first time I met her. 注意 (1)when, while, as 的区别 1when 引导从句时,主从句的动作有先有后,也可以同时进行,从 句的动作可以是持续性的,也可以是短暂的。如 When I got to the airport, the plane had already taken off. (主先从后) (短暂性) When I lived there, I used to go to the seaside on Sundays. 同时 (持 续性) When the movie ended, the people went back. (从先主后) 2while 侧重主从句动作的对比,且从句的动词必须是持续性的。 如 While we were chatting she was looking at the time table on the wall. 3as 引导从句时侧重主从句动作同时或几乎同时进行, 从句的动作 可以是持续性的,也可以是短暂的。如 Sometimes I watch TV as I am having breakfast. 4)when 和 while 还可以是并列连词,意思分别是“就在这时”,“然 而”。如 I was having a rest on the sofa when the telephone rang. They were surprised that a child should work out the problem while they couldn’t . 注并列连词 when 常用与以下句型中 ①was/were doingwhen(正在做突然) ②was/were about to dowhen(刚要做突然) ③was/were on the point of doingwhen刚要做突然 ④had just donewhen.刚一就 ⑤Hardly/Scarcely haddonewhen刚一就 2before 引导从句时,词义非常灵活,注意下列句子中的 before 的 词义 1.Before I could get in a word, the tailor had measured me.还没来得 及就 2.We hadn’t run a mile before he felt tired.还没就 3.We had sailed 4 days before we saw land.才 4.Please write it down before you forget it.趁还没就 3till until 和 nottill until 1) till until主句谓语动词必须是持续性的, 意思是“到为止“如 He remained there till/until she arrived. 2) nottill until 主句谓语动词必须是短暂性的,意思是“直 到才”如 She won’t go to bed till/until he returns home. 3) notuntil 还有强调式和倒装式 强调句It is not until he returns home that she will go to bed. 倒装句Not until he returns home will she go to bed. 4几个极易混淆的时间状语从句 1) It was 时间点when(当的时候时间是) It was 5 am when we arrived at the village. 2) It was/will be时间段before没过就/过了才 It was/will be two weeks before we met/meet again. 3) It is /has been 时间段since(自从以来有) It is/has been 3 years since we last met. 突破点一看 be 动词的时态,二看时间段还是时间点。 注意在“It is /has been 时间段since”句型中,从句的动词必须 是短暂性的,如果是延续性的动词,时间要从从句的动作结束时算起。如 It is 3 years since I smoked. 我戒烟有三年了 补充as soon as, immediately, directly, instantly, the moment, the minute, the instant, no soonerthan, hardly/scarcely.when.和 once 这些从属连接词引导的从句都表示从句的 动作一发生,主句的动作随即就发生,常译为“一就”。从句中一般时态代替将来时态。 every time, each time, next time, the first time, any time, all the time 等名词短语用来引导时间 状语从句,表示“每当,每次;下次”等。 练习题 1.
