Step3:learn the linking words: so...that; as soon as;until
一.so .... that.... 如此……以至于…… (that 引导的结果状语从句)so + 形容词/ 副词 + that 结果状语从句。
①老师说的太快了,以至于我听不清楚他的话。The teacher speaks so fast that I can’t catch the words.
②他如此外向,以至于他交的朋友比我多.He was so outgoing that he made more friends than I did.
He is so tall that he can reach the book on the shelf.
易错点:so 后不能加名词;名词要用 such…that
so+adj+that 可和 too+adj+to do/enough to do互相转换(从句为否定句时常用)
The box is so heavy that I can’t carry it.= The box is too heavy for me to carry.= The box isn’t light enough for me to carry.
The girl is so short that she can't reach the top.= The girl is too short to reach the top.= The girl is not tall enough to reach the top.
二.unless 意为“除非;如果不”,引导条件状语从句,如果主句为一般将来时、祈使句或主句谓语含有情态动词,从句常用一般现在时表将来。(即遵循“主将从现,主祈从现,主情从现”原则)
e.g. Unless it rains tomorrow, we will go camping.如果明天不下雨,我们就去野营。
Don't watch TV unless you finish your homework.除非你完成家庭作业、否则不要看电视。
You should stick to taking exercise unless you do not care about your health. 你应该坚持锻炼,除非你不在乎你的健康。
拓展:通常情况下,unless可与if...not结构进行转换。
e.g. Unless we are careful, we can't do our work well.= If we are not careful, we can't do our work well.
如果不仔细的话,我们就不能把工作做好。
Don’t go outdoors unless you take an umbrella.=Don’t go outdoors if you don’t take an umbrella.除非你带伞,否则不要出门。
3. as soon as意为“一······就······”,引导时间状语从句,含有该从句的主从复合句表示从句的动作一发生,主句的动作马上发生,强调动作的紧密性。如果主句为一般将来时,从句要用一般现在时。即遵循“主将从现”原则;若主句是一般过去时或过去将来时,从句用一般过去时。即遵循“主过从过”原则。
e.g. I will do my homework as soon as I finish the meal.He will visit you as soon as he gets there.
