状语从句
由从句担任的状语,在句子中可修饰谓语(或其它动词)、形容词、副词或是整个句子,它可以用来表示时间、地点、原因、目的、结果、条件、方式、比较、让步等。状语从句是一较大的语法项目,也是近几年高考题中常见的一个重要试点。高考中已考查了时间、让步、地点、条件、目的等状语从句,这些从句仍是今后高考热点,应作充分准备。同时对方式状语从句也应引起重视。
(一)时间状语从句
表示时间的状语从句可由when, as, while, whenever, after, before, till (until), since, once, as soon as (或the moment ), by the time, no sooner „ than, hardly (scarcely) „
when, every time等引导。
e.g. When I came into the office, the teachers were having a meeting.
He started as soon as he received the news.
Once you see him, you will never forget him.
No sooner had I gone to bed than I went to sleep.
比较while, when, as
1)as, when 引导短暂性动作的动词。Just as / Just when / When I stopped my car, a man came up to me.
2)当从句的动作发生于主句动作之前,只能用when 引导这个从句,不可用as 或 while。 When you have finished your work, you may have a rest.
3)从句表示
As the day went on, the weather got worse. 日子一天天过去,天气越变越坏
4)When: 表示时间点,还可以表原因,译作“既然”。还可以翻译成
5)While: 表示时间段,还可以用来表示对比 翻译成“而”。While放在句首要翻译成“尽管”引导让步状语从句。
时间状语从句:the moment
有一些表示时间的名词短语也可用来引导时间状语从句the minute, the moment, every time, the first time
The moment he reached the country, he started his search. 他一到达这个国家,就开始他的探寻工作。
Every time I saw the straw hat, it reminded me of the tour I made years before.
每当我看到那顶草帽,它就使我想起几年前的那次旅游
I thought her nice and honest the first time I met her. 我第一次见到她就觉得她诚实而友善。
时间状语从句:directly等。有一些表示时间的副词也可用来引导时间状语从句:
Directly the master came in, everyone was quiet. 校长一进来, 大家就安静下来。
The young lady rushed into the room immediately she heard the noise. 那位年轻女士一听到响声就冲进房间。
until 和not „until的区别 Until 要与延续性动词连用; not„until 要与非延续性动词连用
1. Until句子翻译成 动作直到„时候才结束。
2.Not„until句子要翻译成动作直到„时候才开始。
I slept until 12 o’clock. 我睡觉睡到12点。
We didn’t get down to working until Ms Zhang came in. 我们直到张老师进来才开始认真的工作。
表示
I had no sooner got home than it began to rain.
As soon as I got home, it began to rain.
注意:如果hardly, scarcely 或no sooner置于句首,句子必须用倒装结构:
Hardly / Scarcely had I got home when it began to rain.
No sooner had I got home than it began to rain.
(二)原因状语从句
原因状语从句是表示原因或理由的,引导这类从句的最常用的连词是because, since, as , now that(既然)等,for 表示因果关系时(它引导的不是从句)为并列连词,语气不如because强。 e.g. He is disappointed because he didn't get the position.
As it is raining, I will not go out.
Now that you mention it, I do remember.
比较:because, since, as和for
1)because语势最强,用来说明人所不知的原因,回答why提出的问题。当原因是显而易见的或
已为人们所知,就用as或 since. I didn't go, because I was afraid. Since /As the weather is so bad, we have to delay our journey.
2)由because引导的从句如果放在句末,且前面有逗 号,则可以用for来代替。但如果不是说明直接原因,而是多种情况加以推断,就只能用for。
He is absent today, because / for he is ill. He must be ill, for he is absent today.
3) because和so不能同用在一个句子里。
(三)地点状语从句
引导地点状语从句的连词是where 和wherever等。
e.g. Sit wherever you like.
Make a mark where you have a question.
(四)目的状语从句
引导目的状语从句最常用的词(组)是so, so that(从句谓语常有情态动词), in order that, in case(以防,以免)等。
e.g. Speak clearly, so that they may understand you.
She has bought the book in order that she could follow the TV lessons.
He left early in case he should miss the train.
(五)结果状语从句
结果状语从句是表示事态结果的从句,通常主句是原因,从句是结果。由so that (从句谓语一般没有情态动词), so „ that, such „ that等引导。
e.g. She was ill, so that she didn’t attend the meeting.
He was so excited that he could not say a word.
She is such a good teacher that everyone admires her.
(六)条件状语从句
条件状语从句分真实性(有可能实现的事情)与非真实性(条件与事实相反或者在说话者看来不大可能实现的事情)条件句。引导条件状语从句的词(组)主要有if, unless, so (as) long as, on condition that, so (as) far as, if only ( = if )。注意:条件从句中的if 不能用whether替换。
e.g. If he is not in the office, he must be out for lunch.
You may borrow the book so long as you keep it clean.
So far as I know(据我所知), he will be away for three months.
You can go swimming on condition that ( = if ) you don’t go too far away from the
river bank.

连接词although, though, as, even if (though), however, whatever, whether„or,

He is very old, but he still works very hard. 虽然他很老,但仍然努力地工作。 让步状语从句(2) as, though 引导的倒装句
as / though引导的让步从句必须表语或状语提前(形容词、副词、分词、实义动词提前)。 Child as /though he was, he knew what was the right thing to do. = Though he was a small child, he knew what was the right thing to do. 注意: a. 句首名词不能带任何冠词。
b. 句首是实义动词,其他助动词放在主语后。如果实义动词有宾语和状语,随实义动词一起放在主语之前。Try hard as he will, he never seems able to do the work satisfactorily.== Though he tries hard, he never seems„ 虽然他尽了努力,但他的工作总做的不尽人意。
让步状语从句(3)
3) ever if, even though. 即使

状语从句的省略
1.当状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致时,可省略状语从句的主语和be动词。
e.g.As a young man, Lincoln was a storekeeper and a postmaster.
2. 当从句的主语是it, 谓语动词是be动词时,可以把it和be一起省略。此时构成“连词(if, unless, when, whenever)+形容词”的结构。Though cold,he still wore a shirt.
3. If =so/not省略句式中,用so/not代替上文的内容。
Get up early tomorrow. If not(=If you don't get up early), you will miss the first note.
(八)方式状语从句
方式状语从句常由as, as if (though), the way, rather than等引导。
e.g. You must do the exercise as I show you.
He acted as if nothing had happened.
(九)比较状语从句
比较状语从句常用than, so (as) „ as, the more „ the more等引导。
e.g. I have made a lot more mistakes than you have.
He smokes cigarettes as expensive as he can afford.
The busier he is, the happier he feels.
(十)使用状语从句时要注意的几个问题
1、在时间和条件(有时也在方式、让步等)从句中,主句是一般将来时,从句通常用一般现在时表示将来。
e.g. We’ll go outing if it doesn’t rain tomorrow.
I’ll write to you as soon as I get to Shanghai.
2、有些时间、地点、条件、方式或让步从句,如果从句的主语与主句主语一致(或虽不一致,是it),从句的谓语又包含动词be ,就可省略从句中的“主语 + be”部分。
e.g. When (he was) still a boy of ten, he had to work day and night.
If (you are) asked you may come in.
If (it is) necessary I’ll explain to you again.
3、注意区分不同从句:引导的是什么从句,不仅要根据连词,还要根据句子结构和句意来判别。以where为例,能引导多种从句。
e.g. You are to find it where you left it.(地点状语从句)
Tell me the address where he lives.(定语从句,句中有先行词)
I don’t know where he came from.(宾语从句)
Where he has gone is not known yet.(主语从句)
This place is where they once hid.(表语从句)

e.g.As a young man, Lincoln was a storekeeper and a postmaster.
2. 当从句的主语是it, 谓语动词是be动词时,可以把it和be一起省略。此时构成“连词(if, unless, when, whenever)+形容词”的结构。Though cold,he still wore a shirt.
3. If =so/not省略句式中,用so/not代替上文的内容。
Get up early tomorrow. If not(=If you don't get up early), you will miss the first note.

e.g. We’ll go outing if it doesn’t rain tomorrow.
I’ll write to you as soon as I get to Shanghai.
2、有些时间、地点、条件、方式或让步从句,如果从句的主语与主句主语一致(或虽不一致,是it),从句的谓语又包含动词be ,就可省略从句中的“主语 + be”部分。
e.g. When (he was) still a boy of ten, he had to work day and night.
If (you are) asked you may come in.
If (it is) necessary I’ll explain to you again.
3、注意区分不同从句:引导的是什么从句,不仅要根据连词,还要根据句子结构和句意来判别。以where为例,能引导多种从句。
e.g. You are to find it where you left it.(地点状语从句)
Tell me the address where he lives.(定语从句,句中有先行词)
I don’t know where he came from.(宾语从句)
Where he has gone is not known yet.(主语从句)
This place is where they once hid.(表语从句)
