句不允许使用将来时,而应该用现在时替代。如：When you finish the work, you may

go out to play with Sam. (你完成工作就可以出去和Jim一起玩了。) / I won’t leave

until Mum comes back. (妈妈回来了我才会走。)

地点状语从句通常由where, wherever等引导。如：Go back where you came from! (哪里来还滚到哪里去！) / I will never forget to catch the thief who stole my necklace

catch the first train. (他起身更早为的是赶上第一班车。)

结果状语从句通常由so that..., so...that... 等引导,放在句尾。结果状语从句一般表示已经发生的事情,故多为过去时态。如：He lost so many bikes that he decided never to

buy a new one. (他丢了那么多辆自行车,他决定再也不买新车了。)

比较状语从句通常由as, than, as (so)...as等引导,一般省略从句的谓语部分,只剩下名词或代词(用主格或宾格均可)。如：Jane is much taller than I/me. (Jane比我高多了。)

句。

1. 时间状语从句

(1)时间状语从句常用when, as, while, before, after, since, till, until, as soon as等连词来引导。

例如：

It was raining hard when got to school yesterday.

While he was doing his homework, the telephone rang.

As he walked along the lake, he sang happily.

He had learned a little Chinese before he came to China.

After he finished middle school, he went to work in a factory.

(2)在时间状语从句里，通常不用将来时态，用现在时态表示将来的动作或状态。例如：

I’ll ring you up as soon as I get to New York.

I will tell him everything when he comes back.

He won’t b elieve it until he sees it with his own eyes.

(3)在带有till或until引导的时间状语从句的主从复合句里，如果主句用肯定式，其含义是“一

直到……时”，谓语动词只能用延续性动词。如果主句用否定式，其含义是“直到……

才……”, “在……以前不……”, 谓语动词可用瞬间动词。例如：

The young man read till the light went out.

Let’s wait until the rain stops.

We won’t start until Bob comes.

Don’t get off until the bus stops.

比较while, when, as

1）as, when 引导短暂性动作的动词。例如：

Just as / Just when / When I stopped my car, a man came up to me. 我一刹车，有一个人向我走来。

2）当从句的动作发生于主句动作之前，只能用when 引导这个从句，不可用as 或while。例如：When you have finished your work, you may have a rest. 赶完活后，你可以休息一下。

3）从句表示"随时间推移"连词能用as，不用when 或while。例如：

As the day went on, the weather got worse.日子一天天过去，天气越变越坏。

比较until和till

此两个连词意义相同。肯定形式表示的意思是"做某事直至某时"，动词必须是延续性的。否定形式表达的意思是"直至某时才做某事"。动词为延续性或非延续性都可以。正确使用这两个连词的关键之一就在于判断句中的动词该用肯定式还是否定式。肯定句：I slept until midnight. 我一直睡到半夜时醒了。

Wait till I call you. 等着我叫你。（在肯定句中可用before代替。例如Let's get in the wheat before the sun sets.）

否定句：She didn't arrive until 6 o'clock. 她直到6点才到。

Don't get off the bus until it has stopped. 公共汽车停稳后再下车。

I didn't manage to do it until you had explained how. 直到你教我后，我才会做。

区别：

1）until可用于句首，而till通常不用于句首。例如：

Until you told me, I had heard nothing of what happened.

直到你告诉我以前，出了什么事我一点也不知道。

2）until when 疑问句中，until要放在句首。例如：

---Until when are you staying?你呆到什么时候？
