什么是状语?

状语修饰动词、形容词、副词或整个句子。

2.To help my disabled aunt, I spend an hour working in her house every day 4. Seen from a distance, the farmhouse looked deserted.

状语从句的定义

状语从句指句子用作状语时,起副词作用的句子。它可以修饰谓语、非谓语动词、定语、状语或整个句子。状语从句一般由连词(从属连词)引导,也可以由词组引起。

根据其作用状语从句可分为:

1.时间状语从句

2.地点状语从句

3.原因状语从句

4.条件状语从句

5.目的状语从句

6.让步状语从句

7.比较状语从句

8.方式状语从句

9.结果状语从句

状语从句的时态特点

一般情况下,时间和条件状语从句的谓语动词一般用“一般现在时”表示“一般将来时”,用“现在完成时”表示“将来完成时”。

As soon as I have finished this work, I will go home.

时间状语从句

常用引导词:when, as, while, as soon as, before, after, since , till, until

特殊引导词:the minute, the moment, the second, every time, the day,the instant, immediately , directly, no sooner … than, hardly …when, scarcely … when

No sooner had I arrived home, then it began to rain.

Every time I listen to your advice, I get into trouble.

表示“一 ……就……”

除as soon as外,还有三类:

名词型——the moment, the minute, the second, the instant;

副词型——immediately, directly, instantly;

句式型——no sooner…than…, hardly/scarcely…when… The moment I saw him, I fell in love with him.

I came immediately you called. 你一给我打电话,我就马上来。

I had no sooner got home than it began to rain. 我一到家,就开始下雨。

【注意】

如果hardly, scarcely 或no sooner置于句首,句子必须用倒装结构。

Hardly/Scarcely had I got home when it began to rain.

No sooner had I got home than it began to rain.

在时间状语从句中,不能用一般将来时、过去将来时态或将来完成时,而要用相应的一般现在时态、一般过去时或现在完成时来代替。

When, while, as(一边...一边...), after, before, as soon as, since, till /until, by the time(到。。。为止, 所在句子的主句应用完成时)

Mozart started writing music when he was four years old.

He visited a lot of places while he was traveling.

when, while和as的区别

when引导的从句的谓语动词可以是延续性的动词,又可以是瞬时动词。并且when有时表示“就在那时”, when=and then; at that moment。 When she came in, I stopped eating.

When I lived in the countryside, I used to carry some water for him.

While引导的从句的谓语动词必须是延续性的,并强调主句和从句的动作同时发生(或者相对应)。并且while有时还可以表示对比。

While my wife was reading the newspaper, I was watching TV.

As表示“一边……一边”,as引导的动作是延续性的动作,一般用于主句和从句动作同时发生;as也可以强调“一先一后。 We always sing as we walk.

As we was going out, it began to snow.

before和after引导的时间状语从句

before的本意为“在……之前”,根据具体语境还可理解为“还没来得及/还没有……就……,趁着还没……就……,不知不觉就……,……才……”等。 After表示主句动作发生在从句动作之后。

They had not been married four months before they were divorced.

After you think it over, please let me know what you decide.

till或until引导的时间状语从句

till和until一般情况下两者可以互换,强调句型中多用until。

如果主句中的谓语动词是瞬时动词时,必须用否定形式;如果主句中的谓语动词是延续性动词时,用肯定或否定形式都可以,但表达的意思不同。

I didn't go to bed until(till) my father came back.

I didn't work until he came back.他回来我这才开始工作。

由since引导的时间状语从句。

since引导的从句的谓语动词可以是延续性的动词,又可以是瞬时动词。一般情况下,从句谓语动词用一般过去时,而主句的谓语动词用现在完成时。

在It is +时间+since从句的句型中,主句多用一般现在时。

I have been in Beijing since you left.

It is four years since my sister lived in Beijing. 我妹妹不在北京住有四年了。
