since,till和until
引导的时间状语从句
since意思是“自从……以来”。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。如:
They have been friends since they were at primary school.
他们从小学起就一直是好朋友。
注意:since引导的从句的谓语动词可以是延续性动词,也可以是瞬间性动词,但主句的动词必须用延续性的。
句型 “It’s / It has been + 一段时间 + since + 时间状语从句” 中,译作“自从…以来,已经…(时间)了”。从句的动词用一般过去时,而且须是瞬间性动词。如:
It’s / has been three months since he moved to this city.
自从他搬到这座城市以来,已经有三个月了。
句型 “一段时间 + has passed since + 时间状语从句”中,译作“自从…以来,…(时间)已经过去了” ,从句的谓语动词用一般过去时,而且须是瞬间性动词。如:
Three months has passed since he moved to this city.
since还可引导原因状语从句,译作“由于;既然”,语气较弱,一般强调已知的事实。而because通常表示直接的原因。
because引导的从句表示直接而明确的原因和理由,表示按因果关系的推断,语气很强,用来回答why的问题, 一般位于主句之后。
We couldn’t go out because it was too cold.
因为天气太冷,我们不能外出。
Since you can’t answer the question, I’ll ask someone else.
既然你回答不出这个问题,我就问别人了。
till和until意思是 “到……为止” ,一般情况下两者可以互换。until可以放在句首或句中,而till不可以用在句首。
注意:如果主句中的谓语动词是瞬时动词时,必须用否定形式,即“not…until”结构,意思是“直到……才(开始)”,此时until不能替换为till如:
Walk till/until you see a white house.
一直走到你看到一座白房子为止。
I did not go to bed until I finished my homework.
直到做完作业我才上床睡觉。
as soon as和whenever
引导的时间状语从句
我们常用as soon as和whenever引导时间状语从句。如
As soon as I arrive in Canada, I will call you.
我一到加拿大,就给你打电话。
Whenever he met us, he smiled at us.
他每次遇见我们,都向我们微笑。

考题

A. end B. ends C. will end
【点拨】本题用语法判定法。本句是as soon as 引导的时间状语从句,符合“主将从现”原则,主句是一般将来时,从句是一般现在时;从句主语是第三人称单数,故谓语动词用其第三人称单数形式。
B
e.g. Come whenever you like. 你什么时候想来就来。
拓展:whenever 还可作副词, 意为“究竟什么时候”。
e.g. Whenever did you find time to do all that cooking?
你怎么有时间做了这么多菜?
E.g.
Spud reminded in another basketball league for about a year till/until the NBA took notice of him.
till/until
means ________ a certain time.
