30.状语从句

在复合句中充当状语的从句叫作状语从句,起副词的作用。状语从句按其功能可以分为时间、地点、原因、目的、结果、条件、比较、方式、让步九种。
状语从句在复合句中的位置比较灵活,可位于主句之前,也可位于主句之后。状语从句前置时,从句与主句之间一般用逗号隔开;后置时,从句与主句之间可以不用逗号。


1.时间状语从句


时间状语从句通常由下列连词引导:when/while(当……的时候),whenever(每当),as(当……时,随着),before(在……以前),after(在……以后),since(自……以来,从……以后),as soon as(

当……时候),immediately/directly/instantly(一……就……),not...until...(直到……才……),till/until(直到……为止)。

while和when都可以引导时间状语从句,意为“当·…···的时候”,其区别在于:while引导的时间状语从句中的动词必须是延续性动词,而when引导的时间状语从句中的动词可以是短暂性动词,也可以是延续性动词。

as引导时间状语从句时,从句谓语动词通常只能是表示动作意义的动词,不能是be,have,like等表示状态或静止意义的动词。

1 before 常用于“1t will/would (not) be+一段时间+hefore..”句型中,肯定形式表示“要过……才………”否定形式表示“过不了……就……”。before还可用于以下句型:It was not long before..(没过多久就………)t was long before..(过了很久才……),It will not be long before..(过不了多久就……),It will be longbefore...(要过很久才……)。如:


It will be two hours before the meeting ends. 这场会议要过两个小时才会结束。
It was long before I knew the truth.过了很久我才知道真相。
② till/until引导时间状语从句时,若主句为肯定句,主句谓语动词必须是延续性动词,且该动词所表示的动作或状态一直延续到从句所表示的动作发生为止;若主句为否定句,主句谓语动词可以是短暂性动词,也可以是延续性动词,表示在特定时刻动作的转变。如:
He waited till/until she arrived at the cafe.他一直等到她到达咖啡馆。
I did not begin to work till/until he left.直到他离开,我才开始工作。
He did not know the truth till/until Mary told him.直到玛丽告诉他,他才知道真相。

一些表示时间的名词词组,如the moment/the minute/the instant(一……就……),the day(这天,那天)the year(这年,那年),each time/every time(每次), next time(下次),the first time(第一次)等,也可以用来引导时间状语从句,这时它们起连词的作用。此外,短语by the time(到……的时候)也可以起连词的作用.引导时间状语从句。

现在还有很多空位。你可以坐在你喜欢的任何地方。
I always think of you everywhere we once stayed together.
在我们曾经一起待过的各个地方,我总是会想起你。

hoe引导状语从句和定语从句的区别在于:where引导的地点状语从句可以直接修饰主句谓语动词。其前没有表示地点的先行词,此时where为从属连词;而where引导的定语从句要跟在表示地点的先行词后面,且where在从句中作地点状语,此时where为关系制词。如:
Please make marks where you have questions. (状语从句)=Please make marks at the places where you have questions. (定语从句)请在你有疑问的地方做出标记


3.原因状语从句

because引导原因状语从句时,可以在其前加上only,just,partly,simply等副词,以加强语气。


表示“因为”的连词不能与表示“所以”的连词so连用。

4 目的状语从句


目的共语只句消资由下列连词91导s that(为了,以便), in ander that(为了,以便,目的在于),lea(笔恐,免得,以免),for fear (that)(唯恐,以免),in case(以防万一,以防)。

为简清起见,当目的状语从句的主语与主句的主语相同时,有时可以用不定式短语或介词短语替换目的状语从句。如:

so that既可以引导目的状语从句,又可以引导结果状语从句,区别在于:


1引导目的状语从句时表示一种意欲或可能性,而引导结果状语从句时表示一种事实。2引导的目的状语从句中常含有can,could,may, might,would等情态动词,而引导的结果状语从句中一般没有情态动词。

③引导的目的状语从句与主向之间一般不用逗号隔开,而引导的结果状语从句与主句之间可以用逗号隔开。如:

in case引导目的状语从句和条件状语从句的区别在于:in case意为“以防万一,以防”时,引导目的状语从句,常位于主句之后,从句可用陈述语气,也可用虚拟语气,使用虚拟语气时从句谓语动词用“should+动词原形”的形式;意为“如果,假使”时,引导条件状语从句,常位于主句之前。如:
