探究由before、after、when和while引导的时间状语从句
1.请在下列句子中找出时间状语从句并在其后面的括号中用√进行标注。
(1)I find that he is very happy every day. ( )
(2)Please let me know when you have trouble. ( √ )
(3)I didn’t know where I could wait for her. ( )
√
There are so many things ______ your will. However, you have no excuse to give up.
A. through B. towards C. outside D. against
D
【点拨】本题用句意理解法。through 通过;towards 朝,向;outside 在外面;against 反对,违背。根据后句句意“然而,你没有理由放弃。”可知,前句应是“有那么多违背你意愿的事情”。
时间状语从句的引导词
before、after、
when 和while 引导的时间状语从句 before: “在……之前”, 表示主句动作发生在从句动作之前。①
after: “在……之后”, 表示主句动作发生在从句动作之后。用法上要注意时态。②
when: “当……时”, 表示主句的动作和从句的动作同时发生或从句动作发生在主句动作之前。③
