初中英语
重点句型(Module 8 Accidents)
知识梳理:
【句型学习】
I was trying to pick it up when it bit me again.
我努力把它捡起来的时候,它又咬了我一下。
【句析】
这是一个非常典型的时间状语从句。大家一定会注意到这句话在when的前后采用了两种时态来表达。仔细分析后,大家会发现这两种时态所表达的动作持续的时间长短不一样。进行时所表示的动作持续时间相对较长,而一般时所表示的动作则持续时间相对较短。
【例句】
My mother was cooking when I got home.
我到家时妈妈正在做饭。
【考点】
这里我们用十六个字来概括这个知识点:
when前when后,一长一短。长的进行,短的一般。
时间状语从句今后我们还会学习when的其它用法以及as soon as, while等的用法。如本课出现的As soon as they learnt what kind of snake bit him, they gave Henry the right medicine, and he left hospital the next day. While the lights were changing to red, a car suddenly appeared round the corner. 等。大家如果感兴趣可以提前做一个预习。

While the snake was lying on the table, Henry quickly picked up his mobile phone and took a photo with it. Then the snake hid behind the fridge.
