状语从句用来修饰主句中的动词,副词和形容词的从句叫状语从句。根据其含义状语从句可分为时间状语从句、地点状语从句、条件状语从句、原因状语从句、结果状语从句、比较状语从句、目的状语从句,让步状语从句。1.时间状语从句1)时间状语从句常用whenaswhilebeforeaftersincetilluntilassoonas等连词来引导。例如:Itwasraininghard(rainhard下大雨)whengottoschoolyesterday.Whilehewasdoinghishomeworkthetelephonerang.Ashewalkedalong(沿着走)thelakehesanghappily.HehadlearnedalittleChinesebeforehecametoChina.Afterhefinishedmiddleschoolhewenttoworkinafactory.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’llringyouupassoonasIgettoNewYork.Iwilltellhimeverythingwhenhecomesback.Hewon’tbelieveituntilheseesitwithhisowneyes.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:Theyoungmanreadtillthelightwentout(熄灭).Let’swaituntiltherainstops.Wewon’tstartuntilBobcomes.Don’tgetoff(从下来)untilthebusstops.【Till是指直到某一特定事件发生的时候,而在那个时刻之后,该事情或状况仍将持续。Until是指直到某一特定事件发生的时候,而讲话的人在自己心里认为,在那个时刻之后,该事情或该状况将中止(不怎么可能持续)。固定组合里frommorningtillnight,till/until是不能替换的,】2.条件状语从句1)条件状语从句通常由ifunless引导。例如:Whatshallwedoifitsnowstomorrow?Don’tleavethebuildingunlessItellyouto.2)在条件状语从句里,谓语动词通常用现在时态表示将来的动作或状态。例如:I’llhelpyouwithyourEnglishifamfreetomorrow.Hewon’tbelateunlessheisill.3)“祈使句+and(or)+陈述句”在意思上相当于一个带有条件状语从句的复合句。例如:Hurryuporyou’llbelate.=Ifyoudon’thurryupyou’llbelate.Studyhardandyouwillpasstheexam.=Ifyoustudyhardyouwillpasstheexam.3.原因状语从句1)原因状语从句通常由becausesinceas引导。例如:Hedidn’tcometoschoolbecausehewasill.Asitisrainingweshallnot(不得;不应该)gotothezoo.Sinceyoucan’tanswerthequestionI’llasksomeoneelse.2)because表示直接原因,语气最强。Because引导的原因状语从句多放在主句之后。回答由why提出的问题,只能用because。As和since语气较弱,一般用来表示明显的原因。由as和since引导的原因状语从居多放在句首。例如:-Whyaren’tgoingthere?-BecauseIdon’twantto.Ashehasnocarhecan’tgetthereeasily.Sincewehavenomoneywecan’tbuyit.3)because和so不能同用在一个句子里。4.结果状语从句1)结果状语从句由so…thatsuch…thatsothat引导。例如:Heissopoorthathecan’tbuyabikeforhisson.Sheissuchagoodteacherthateverybodylikesher.MypencilfellunderthedesksothatIcouldn’tseeit.2)so…that语such...that可以互换。例如:在由so...that引导的结果状语从句中,so是副词,与形容词连用。其结构是:“...so+形容词(副词)+that+从句”。例如:Hewassogladthathecouldn’tsayaword.Thehallissobigthatitcanhold2000people.Motherlivessofarawaythatwehardlyever(几乎不,从来不)seeher.在由such…that引导的结果状语从句中,such是形容词,它修饰的可以是单数或复数可数名词,也可以是不可数名词;名词前面可以带形容词,也可不带。如果是单数可数名词,前面需加不定冠词a或an。例如:Itwassuchahotdaythatnobodywantedtodoanything.Hehadsuchlongarmsthathecouldalmosttouchtheceiling.(天花板)Hemadesuchrapidprogressthathedidverywellinthemid-term.有时上述两种结构是可以互换的。例如:Itwassuchawonderfulfilmthatallofuswantedtoseeitagain.=Thefilmwassowonderfulthatallofuswantedtoseeitagain.Itissuchanimportantmatchthatnobodywantstomissit.=Thematchissoimportantthatnobodywantstomissit.3)如果名词前由manymuchlittlefew等词修饰时,只能用so不用such。例如:Soonthereweresomanydeerthattheyateupallthewildroses.Hehassolittletimethathecan’tgotothecinema(去看电影)withyou.5.比较状语从句比较状语从句通常由as…as比较级+than…等连词引导。例如:TomrunsfasterthanJohndoes.Thisclassroomisasbigasthatone.6.目的状语从句1)目的状语从句通常由sothatinorderthat(为了,以便)引导。例如:Westartedearlysothatwecouldcatchthefirsttrain.Hestudieshardsothathecouldworkbetterinthefuture.Weusedthecomputerinorderthatwemightsavetime.2)sothat既可引导目的状语从句,又可引导结果状语从句。区别这两种从句的办法有两个:①目的状语从句里往往带有情态动词cancouldmaymight等。②从意思上看,目的状语从句往往表示的目的很明确。例如:Speakclearlysothattheymayunderstandyou.(目的状语从句)Jackisbadlyillsothathehastorest.(结果状语从句)7.让步状语从句1)让步状语从句通常由althoughthough等连词引导。例如:Thoughheisyoungheknowsalot.AlthoughIamtiredImustgoonworking.2)although(though)不能用在同一个句子中。例如:我们不能说:Thoughitwasraininghardbuthestillwentout.应该说:Thoughitwasraininghardhestillwentout.或Itwasraininghardbuthestillwentout.8.地点状语从句地点状语从句常常由where来引导。例如:Gowhereyoulike.Wherethereisawillthereisaway.总结:状语从句分类及常用连词类别连词时间状语从句whenwheneverwhileasbeforeaftersincetillonce(一旦)地点状语从句wherewherever原因状语从句becausesinceasfornowthat(既然,由于)etc.(etcetera,等于andsoon)目的状语从句inorderthat(为了,以便)sothatthatetc.结果状语从句so…thatsothatsuch…thatthatetc.条件状语从句ifunlessas(so)longasetc.让步状语从句thoughalthoughevenifeventhoughhoweverwhateverasetc.比较状语从句as…asso…asthanetc.方式状语从句asasifasthoughetc.练习一一、单项填空1._______he’soldhecanstillcarrythisheavybag.A.ThoughB.SinceC.ForD.So2.-Doyouknowifhe_______toplaybasketballwithus?-Ithinkhewillcomeifhe______freetomorrow.A.comes;isB.comes;willbeC.willcome;isD.willcome;willbe3.Inthezooifachild_____intothewaterandcan’tswimthedolphinsmaycomeup______him.A.willfall;tohelpB.falls;tohelpC.willfall;helpD.falls;helping4.Idon’tremember________heworkedinthatcitywhenhewasyoung.A.whatB.whichC.whereD.who5.Wewillstayathomeifmyaunt________tovisitustomorrow.A.comesB.comeC.willcomeD.iscoming6.Thepoliceaskedthechildren_______crossthestreet________thetrafficlightsturnedgreen.A.not;beforeB.don’t;whenC.notto;untilD.not;after7.Iwaslateforclassyesterday_______therewassomethingwrongwithmybike.A.whenB.thatC.untilD.because8.I’llgoswimmingwithyouifI________freetomorrow.A.willbeB.shallbeC.amD.was9.Intheexamthe________youare______the_______mistakesyouwillmake.A.careful;littleB.morecareful;fewestC.morecareful;fewerD.morecareful;less10.Youshouldfinishyourlessons_______yougoouttoplay.A.beforeB.afterC.whenD.while11.Ihurried_____Iwouldn’tbelateforclass.A.sinceB.so
