从属连词引导时间状语从句和原因状语从句
1.引导时间状语从句,主要有after, before, when, as, while, since, until, till, as soon as。
1) when, while, as 都表示“当„„时”,when从句谓语动词既可以是瞬间动词也可以是延续性动词,可用于主从句动作同时发生或从句动作先于主句动作发生。while从句谓语动词只能是延续性动词,侧重主从句动作同时发生。as引导一个持续性动作,多用于主从句动作同时发生,强调“一边„„一边”。
When I came in, my father was cooking. 我进来时,爸爸正在做饭。
I came in when/while my father was cooking. 我爸爸正在做饭的时候,我进来了。
He sang as he walked. 他边走路边唱歌。
2)until用法:当主句谓语动词是延续性动词时,主从句都用肯定式,译为“直到„„为止”;当主句谓语动词是瞬间动词时,主句用否定式,从句用肯定式,即not„..until, 译为“直到„„才”。
Mr. Green waited until his children came back.格林先生一直等到他的孩子们回来。
Mr. Green didn’t go to bed until his children came back. 格林先生直到他的孩子们回来才睡觉。
2. 引导原因状语从句,主要有before, since, as, for。
because“因为”语气最强,回答why提问时只能用because,其引导的从句可放在句首或句末;as“由于”、since“既然”语气不如because强,引导的从句常置于句首;for是并列连词,语气最弱,对前面分句加以解释或补充说明,其引导的分句常置于句末且用逗号隔开。
