状语从句精讲1——时间、地点、条件、比较、方式
Ⅰ. 状语从句概念:
状语从句在句中作状语,修饰主句中的动词,形容词或副词等。状语从句放在主句之前时,常用逗号分开;放在主句之后,一般不用逗号,状语从句按其意义和作用可分为时间、条件、原因、让步、目的、结果、方式、比较、地点等9种。
Ⅱ. 时间状语从句
时间状语从句考点分析
考点分析一:when,while,as的用法区别
1. when可以和延续性动词连用,也可以和短暂性动词连用;而while和as只能和延续性动词连用。
例如:
Why do you want a new job _______ you’ve got such a good one already (get为短暂性动词)
Sorry, I was out _______ you called me.
Strike_______ the iron is hot.
The students took notes _______ they listened. (listen为延续性动词)学生们边听课边做笔记。
【Keys】1-4 when, when, while, as
2. when从句的谓语动词可以在主句谓语动作之前、之后或同时发生;while和as从句的谓语动作必须是和主句谓语动作同时发生。
3. 从句动作在主句动作前发生,只用 when。
① When he had finished his homework, he took a short rest. (finished先发生)
当他完成作业后,他休息了一会儿。
② When I got to the airport, the guests had left. (got to后发生)
当我赶到飞机场时,客人们已经离开了。
4. 从句动作和主句动作同时发生,且从句动作为延续性动词时,when,while,as都可使用。
When /While /As we were dancing,a stranger came in. (dance为延续性动词)
当我们跳舞时,一位陌生人走了进来。
练习:中翻英
当她在打电话时,我正在写信。
When /While /As she was making a phone call,I was writing a letter. (make为延续性动词)
5. 当主句、从句动作同时进行,从句动作的时间概念淡化,而主要表示主句动作发生的背景或条件时,只能用 as。这时,as常表示“随着……”;“一边……,一边……”之意。
练习:英翻中

3)当主句的谓语是was/ were going to do时;
4)当主句的谓语是was/ were on the point of doing时

注意:where引导的状语从句与定语从句的区别
1) where引导定语从句时,where是关系副词, 在从句中作地点状语, 其前面有表示地点的先行词,where引导的从句修饰先行词。例如:
This is the house where I lived two years ago. 这就是我两年前住的那个房子。
where引导状语从句时, where是从属连词,where引导的从句修饰主句的谓语动词,where前面没有表示地点的先行词。
例:
Make a mark where you have any doubts or questions. 在有疑问的地方做一个记号。
有时, where引导的地点状语从句兼有抽象条件含义,可放在主句的前面, 而where引导的定语从句则不能。
例:
Where there is a will, there is a way. 有志者事竟成。
在有些情况下,where引导的定语从句可转换为where引导的地点状语从句。
例:

=Bamboo grows best where it is warm and where it rains often.
温暖而多雨的地方最适合于竹子生长。
Ⅳ.条件状语从句:

If I were you, I wouldn’t do it like that. 如果我是你,我就不会那么做的。
(2) if特殊句式:I would appreciate it if……/I would be grateful if……,意为“如果……,我将不胜感激”。
I would appreciate it very much if you would arrange this for me.
如果你能做这样的安排我将非常感激。
