Unit4 Then and now语法讲解与练习
让步状语从句(Concessive adverbial clauses)详细讲解
一、核心概念
让步状语从句:从句表达 “虽然、尽管”,引出与主句含义相反/相悖的条件;主句常出现转折含义。
引导连词:though /although
✅ 重点铁律:though /although不能和but连用! 可以和yet /still 搭配。
1. although & though 基础用法
1)although 较正式,多放句首
结构:Although +从句,主句.
Although life was hard in the past, people still enjoyed themselves.
虽然过去生活艰苦,但人们依然自得其乐。
2)though 口语、书面均可,位置灵活(句首/句末)
① Though +从句,主句. Though he is old, he keeps learning new things.
② 主句, though +从句. People live better now, though they are busier.
2. 必考禁忌(高频错题点)
❌ Although he was poor, but he was happy.(错误,不能同时出现 but)
✅ Although he was poor, he was happy.
✅ He was poor, but he was happy.
✅ Although he was poor, yet he was happy.(yet 可以)
3. 时态搭配(贴合单元 Then and now)
单元话题对比过去和现在,常出现一般过去时 & 一般现在时混用
Although life was simple then, people felt warm.(主从句都过去时)
Although people have more money now, they don’t have enough free time.(现在时)
Although he lived in a small house before, he lives in a big flat now.(过去 VS 现在)
4. 省略结构
当从句主语和主句主语一致,且含有 be 动词时,可以省略主语 + be
Although (he was) young, he knew a lot.
5. 同义转换句式
Although/Though +句子 = In spite of /Despite +名词/动名词(拓展,可选讲) Although times changed, traditions stayed.
= In spite of the changes of times, traditions stayed.
二、知识框架总结
连词:although /though 虽然,尽管
结构:
① Although/Though +从句,主句.
② 主句,though +从句.(though可用, although 较少这样放)
黄金规则:although/though ⇔ 禁止搭配 but
语义:从句让步,主句转折
