中考考情分析
题型 出现频率 考查形式与核心考点
单项选择 ★★★★★
(最高) 1.连接词选择:when/while/as/until/since等

书面表达
(作文) ★★★★★
(隐形高分考点) 不直接考查,但高级用法是重要的加分项。使用时间状语从句可以使文章逻辑连贯,结构丰富。
什么是时间状语从句?
I will call you when I get home.
Please turn off the lights before you leave.
The phone rang when I was taking a shower.
当我正洗澡的时候,电话铃响了。
As I answered the phone, I spilled my coffee.
我一边接电话,一边把咖啡弄洒了。
什么是时间状语从句?
用一个句子(从句)来表示主句动作发生的时间。这个句子就是时间状语从句。
一、基础组:
when: 当…时候(可指时间点,也可指时间段)
When I arrived, he was cooking.
我到达的那个时间点,他正在做饭。
While: 当…时候(强调一段时间,从句动词常为持续性动词)
While he was cooking, I was reading.
在他做饭的整个期间,我都在看书。
常见连接词大盘点
基础组:when, while, as, before, after
进阶组:as soon as, until, since, by the time, whenever
as 一边…一边…(强调主从句动作同时进行)
As he walked, he sang.
他一边走路一边唱歌。
before: 在…之前
Did she leave a message before she went?
她走之前留言了吗?
after 在…之后
I'll call you after I've spoken to them.
我和他们谈了以后就给你打电话。
连接词 核心含义 侧重角度 从句动词特点 典型语境与考点
when 当…时候 时间点或时间段。
最通用,使用最广泛。 延续性动词或
短暂性动词均可。 1.表示“某个时间点”。
2.“正在…突然…”结构
(中考高频考点)
while 在…期间 时间段,强调动作的
持续性。 必须是延续性动词。 1.表示“在某整个过程中”
2.强调两个长动作同时进行。
as 一边…
一边… 动作的平行发生,强调“伴随”或“变化”。 延续性动词或
短暂性动词均可。 1.表示“随着”某个动作
发生另一个动作。
2.表示“两种情况
同时变化”。
when, while, as用法区别
When I arrived (短暂), he was cooking.
When I lived (持续) there, I was a child.
While I was walking (持续) in the park, I met a friend.
While I arrived (短暂) home, it rained.

I was watching TV when the light went out suddenly.
我正在看电视,突然灯熄灭了。
He was giving a speech to the whole class when he sneezed loudly.
他正在向全班同学作演讲,突然打了个大喷嚏。
中考高频考点
when的“正在…突然…”结构
主语+ was/were doing... when…+ 一般过去时(表突然发生的动作)
【点睛】
在此句型中,when 的意思不等于“当...时候”,而更接近于“就在这时,
突然”,起到了制造悬念和转折的作用。
做题时,一旦看到 was/were doing开头的主句,就要立刻想到这个结构,
优先选择 when。
二、进阶组:
as soon as / the moment 一 … 就 …(表示动作紧接着发生)
My dog starts dancing as soon as he hears the word “walk”.
我的狗一听到“散步”这个词,就开始跳舞。
I recognized my long-lost friend the moment I heard her laughter.
我一听到她的笑声,就认出了我失散多年的朋友。
until / till: 直到…才
The baby didn’t stop crying until he saw his favorite toy.
这个宝宝直到看见他最喜欢的玩具才停止哭闹。
since 自从
He has been crazy about basketball since he watched his first game.
自从他看了第一场篮球赛以来,他就对篮球着迷了。
常见连接词大盘点
by the time 到…为止…已经…(强调一个时间点前的完成状态)
常带有“为时已晚”或“出乎意料”的语气。
By the time I got to the cinema, the movie had already started.
我到达电影院时,电影已经开始了。
(by the time + 一般过去时,主句常用过去完成时)
whenever 每当…;无论何时。表示一种习惯性的、每次都会发生的情况。主句和从句的时态通常保持一致。
Whenever I feel sad, music cheers me up.
每当我感到悲伤的时候,音乐都能让我振作起来。
Whenever I visited my grandmother, she always baked cookies for me.
我小时候,每当我去祖母家,她总会给我烤饼干。
时态选择—“主将从现”和“主过从过”
口诀!
“主将从现”记心间,时态错误不出现!
I will wait here until you come back.
(主句将来时,从句一般现在时。)
Please give me a call as soon as you arrive.
(主句祈使句表将来,从句一般现在时。)
You must finish your homework before you go out to play.
(主句含有情态动词表将来,从句用一般现在时)
1
当主句是将来时或包含将来的意味(如祈使句、含有情态动词can, may等)时,时间状从必须用一般现在时来表示将来的动作。
主将从现(主祈从现、主情从现)
He was reading when I entered the room.
我进房间时,他正在看书。
My phone rang while I was watching my favorite TV show.
我正在看最喜欢的电视节目时,我的电话响了。
She called the police as soon as she saw the accident.
她一看到事故,就立刻报了警。
2
当主句是一般过去时,时间状从的时态通常也需要用相应的过去时态(如一般过去时、过去进行时等)。
主过从过
中考时态考查的“重灾区”,必须记牢公式。
主语 + 现在完成时 … since + 主语 + 一般过去时 …
He has lived here since he was born.
自从出生,他就住在这儿了。
She has worked in this hospital since she graduated from medical school.
自从她从医学院毕业,就一直在这家医院工作。
It has been ten years since we last met.
自从我们上次见面以来,已经过去十年了。
易错点与特殊情形
总结!
since的时态搭配是中考必考的重点,它的规则非常固定。
since用一过,主句用现完。
易错点1:
since的时态搭配
until的核心是“动作或状态持续到某个时间点为止”。
关键在于主句是肯定还是否定!
1. 肯定句 + until:表示动作“持续到”为止。
l waited for her until it was dark.
我等她一直等到天黑。
2. 否定句not ... until… 表示“直到… 才…”,即动作在从句时间点才开始。
l did not go to bed until my mother came back.
我直到妈妈回来才睡觉。( “睡觉”的动作在“妈妈回来”时才发生。)
