Read and summarise
When I was a child, my dream was to become an Olympic swimmer. One day, while I was training, I hurt my shoulder. I had to get months of treatment. When my shoulder was better, I had to work hard to get back into shape. After I got well, I trained for four years and finally made my dream come true. My coach was proud of me. He was sure about my success before the accident happened. And he never gave up on me even during the most difficult times.

时间状语从句

when it is dark.
时间状语从句是指在复合句中充当时间状语的句子。
When the weather is good, my grandpa likes going fishing.
e.g. I go to bed when it is dark.
Summary
状语:状语是修饰动词、形容词、副词等的句子成分。说明时间、 地点、 原因、 目的、 结果、 条件等。
注意:我们可以用before、after、when和while引导时间状语从句,这些词既可放在句首,也可放在句中。

Before going to bed, Tom needs to take a shower.
before意思是“在……之前”,表示主句的动作发生在从句动作之前。

while 还可以表示“在……期间”,表示主句的动作发生在从句的动作进行的过程中。
23021
注意:在 when 和 while 引导的从句中,当主句和从句的主语一致,并且从句中有 be 动词时,从句可以省略主语和 be 动词,构成“when/while + 动词 -ing/介词短语”结构。
e.g. While (I am) travelling, I like to buy some souvenirs.
旅游时我喜欢买些纪念品。

Read the text below and pay attention to the use of since and till/until. Then summarize their usages.
Read and summarise
Since I learnt about the amazing stories of Stephen Hawking, I have often thought of him when I face challenges. I won’t give up till I reach my goal. I am also very impressed in Hawking’s books. Many questions about the universe were too difficult for common people to understand until Hawking wrote his books.
When we use verbs like go, leave, arrive and come in the main clause, we should use the structure not ... till/until.
Till/Until I achieve my dreams, I won’t leave.
Do not give up until you reach your goal!

注意:如果主句中的谓语动词是瞬时性动词,且用否定形式,形成 not ... till/until 结构,则意思是“直到……才(开始)”。即:主句(否定句+短动作)+ till/until + 从句
