一、时间状语从句:

1、时间状语从句通常用以下附属连词来引导：after, before, as, once, till, until, (ever) since, when, whenever, while, now (that), as long as, as soon as。如：

Now (that)you’ve grown up, you must stop this childish behaviour. Whenever we met with difficulties, they came to help us.

Come and see us whenever you have time.

People do not know the value of health till they lose it.

2、有些词，如immediately, directly, instantly 等，当用于as soon as 意义时，也可以引导时间状语从句，如：

I got in touch with him immediately I received his letter.

My sister came directly she got my message.

The machine will start instantly you press the button.

I’ll telephone you directly I hear the news.

Will you look for it immediately you get there?

3．某些表示时间的名词词组，如the (very) moment ( = as soon as ), the minute ( = as soon as ), the instant ( = as soon as ), the day, the year, the morning, every time, each time, next time, the first time 等，也可以引导时间状语从句，如：

I’ll tell you about it the moment you come.

I started the instant I heard the report.

I started the very moment I got your letter.

I’ll tell him the minute (that) he gets here.

4．有些关联附属连词，如no sooner …than / hardly …when / scarcely …when / barely …when 等，也能引导时间状语从句。

△假设把no sooner, hardly, scarcely, barely 置于句首，它所连带的这局部就要倒装，如：

She had no sooner heard the news than she fainted.

= No sooner had she heard the news than she fainted.

They had hardly started to work when the trouble began.

= Hardly had they started to work when the trouble began.

He had scarcely entered the room when the phone rang.

= Scarcely had he entered the room when the phone rang.

二、地点状语从句:

1、地点状语从句常用where, wherever 来引导，如：

We will stay where you stay. (where = in the place in which; where 既衔接主句与从句，又在从句中作副词修饰谓语stay。)

I found my books where I left them.

Wherever he happens to be, John can make himself at home.

He will work wherever the people need him.

Let me go wherever (= to any place to which) they like (to go).

2、有时，- where 构成的复合词也可以引导地点状语从句，如：Everywhere they went, they were kindly received / warmly welcomed. We’ll go anywhere the Party directs us.

三、方式状语从句:

1、方式状语从句通常由as, as if, as though 来引导，如：

You must do the exercises as I show you.

Please do exactly as your doctor says.

It looks as if it might snow / is going to snow.
