Review of
Adverbial clauses
一、条件状语从句
1. if 引导的条件状语从句
if意为“如果;假如”。
If you start doing your homework now, you will finish it before dinner.
如果你现在开始做作业,你可以在晚饭前写完。
条件状语从句在复合句中表示主句动作发生的条件。
常见引导词为:if, unless, as long as等。
3. as long as引导的条件状语从句
as long as表示“只要”或“在……的条件下”。通常表示某个行为或状态在某个特定条件下才会发生。
As long as you take my advice, you will do very well.
只要你听我的劝告,你会做得很好的。
2. unless引导的条件状语从句
unless意为“除非”,通常用来表达某种条件下的例外情况。
She will fail the test unless she studies harder.
除非她更努力学习,否则她会考试不及格。
通常情况下,由if, unless, as long as等引导的条件状语从句用一般现在时,主句谓语动词用一般将来时。
① If you start doing your homework now, you will finish it before dinner.
② She will fail the test unless she studies harder.
③ As long as you take my advice, you will do very well.
条件状语从句可以放在主句之前,也可以放在主句之后。
在叙述自然法则时常用if从句表示前提,没有时间性,这时主句谓语动词也用一般现在时。
① If you pour oil on water, it floats.
② If water reaches 100℃, it boils.
如果你把油倒在水上,它就会浮起来。
如果水达到100摄氏度,它就会沸腾。
二、时间状语从句
时间状语从句在复合句中表达某事情/行为发生的时间。
常见引导词为:before, after, while, when, since, until, as soon as等。
1. before/after 引导的时间状语从句
before表示“在……之前”,after表示“在……之后”。
① Before the sun came out, the sky was very dark.
在太阳出来之前,天空很黑。
他们结婚后搬到了乡下。
② After they got married, they moved to the countryside.
2. as soon as 引导的时间状语从句
We began to work as soon as we got there.
我们一到那儿就开始工作了。
as soon as 表示“一……就……”,强调动作紧密相连。
3. when引导的时间状语从句
when意为“当……的时候”,既可以表示在某一时间点发生的事,又可以表示在某一时间段发生的事。
4. while引导的时间状语从句
Simon was happy when he heard the news.
西蒙听到这个消息时很高兴。
She turned on the radio while I was driving.
我开车时她打开了收音机。
while意为“当……的时候”,其引导的时间状语从句表示主句的行为在从句行为进行的过程中发生。
当主句和从句的动作同时发生的,且两句都用过去进行时的时候,通常用while引导从句。
They were singing while we were dancing.
他们在唱歌,我们在跳舞。
5. since引导的时间状语从句
since表示“自从……”。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。
6. until引导的时间状语从句
It has been three years since I left school.
自从我离开学校已有三年了。
until表示动作或状态一直持续到某一时刻,即“直到……”。
He waited until all the guests left.
他一直等到所有客人都走了。
(1) I'll stay here until/till you come back.
我会呆在这里,直到你回来。
(2) He didn't go to bed until/till he finished his
homework.
他直到做完作业才睡觉。
until/till引导时间状语从句,意为“直到……” 。
当主句的谓语动词是延续性动词,主句常用肯定形式;
当主句的谓语动词是短暂性动词时,主句常用否定形式。not…until…意为“直到……才……”。
如果从句表示的是主句行为的原因,就构成原因状语从句。
常用引导词:because, as, since等。
① I made mistakes because I was tired.
我犯错误是因为我累了。
餐馆很近,我们走着去吧。
由于天气很好,我们决定去野餐。
② Let's walk to the restaurant as it is quite near.
③ Since the weather is nice, we have decided to go for a picnic.
在这三个连接词中,because语气最强,since次之,as最弱;because, as, since引导的从句可在主句前面或后面。此外,它们不能与so出现在同一句中。
三、原因状语从句
① I drank the coffee although I did not like it.
虽然我不喜欢咖啡,但我还是喝了。
虽然他们打得很好,但球队还是输了。
② Though they played quite well, the team lost.
although和though的用法相近,都不可与but连用,但可与still, yet等连用。
四、让步状语从句
通常用来表达尽管有某种情况或条件,但主句中的情况仍然成立的从句。
常用引导词:although, though等。
在复合句中,结果状语从句用于描述主句的结果或影响。
五、结果状语从句
1. so ... that ...引导的结果状语从句

我跑得很快,所以得了一等奖。
常用引导词:so...that, such...that等。
2. such ... that ...引导的结果状语从句
such ... that ... 结构的意思是"如此……以至于……"。
与so … that …不同的是:such后面接名词或名词词组,结构为:such (+ a/an) + 形容词 + 名词 + that …
我阿姨是个电影爱好者,因此她每个周末都去看电影。
My aunt is such a great film-lover that she goes to the cinema every weekend.
1. so 可修饰many, much, few, little等,而such 不能。
so or such?
We have so little money that we can't afford this house now.
2. 单数可数名词有修饰的形容词时,so 和such 均可用,
但两者结构不同:
主语 + 谓语 + such + a/an + adj.+ n. + that 从句
= 主语 + 谓语 + so + adj. + a/an + n. + that 从句
It is such an interesting film that I'd like to see it once again.
= It is so interesting a film that I'd like to see it once again.
目的状语从句用来说明事物发生的目的。
