Step 2 Grammar explanation ('although/though')
1. Although 的用法
although/though用作连词, 意为“尽管, 虽然” , 常用于引导让步状语从句。让步状语从句表示即使出现在从句中的情况，主句动作仍然会发生，有“退一步说……”的意思。
although和though可用于句首或句中, 但不能与连词but同时使用,不过可与yet, still连用。
若主从句的主语相同, 且从句谓语含有动词be, 可将从句主语和动词be省略。
注意：
although和though在一般情况下可以互换使用。在口语中，though较常使用，although比though更正式一些。
e.g. I will try it, although I may fail. 即使我可能失败，我也要试一下。
Although /though (it was) snowing, it was not very cold.
虽然在下雪, 但是天气不是很冷。
There is air around us, although we can’t see it.
尽管我们看不见, 但我们周围全是空气。
Although / Though you are a little younger than me, yet you are much taller. (√)
Although / Though you are a little younger than me, but you are much taller. (×)

4) people kept coming in / the film had already been on for 15 minutes

2) ______________________________________________ (play / fun / to / computer games / are), students should not spend too much time on them.
3) __________________________________________ (misses / she / home town / her), she is not going back this year.
Keys: Although / Though the test was difficult

Step 3 Grammar explanation (so...that and such...that )
The flowers are beautiful. Everyone likes them.
The flowers are so beautiful that everyone likes them.
She is a lovely baby. Everyone loves her.
She is such a lovely baby that everyone loves her.
1. such... that 作“ 如此…以至于” 解，连接结果状语从句。(结果状语从句是用来补充说明主句动作发生所带来的结果。)
和 so... that 意思相同，但是用法不同。so 是副词，后面可加形容词和副词：
so+ adj./adv.+ that clause
e.g. It is so nice that we can go out for a picnic.
天气是如此的好以至于我们可以外出野餐。
而 such 是限定词，后面要加名词或名词词组，名词前面可以带形容词，也可以不带。
such +noun/noun phrases + that clause
e.g. It is such a nice day that we can go out for a picnic.
今天是如此好的一天以至于我们可以外出野餐。
注意：
如果such 后面的名词前由many, much, few, little 等词所修饰的话，则不用such 而用so。
e.g. He had so little education that he was unfit for this job.
他所受教育很少，不适合这个工作。
2. Practice
用so…that或such…that翻译句子。
1) 这个问题太难了，没有人能回答。

3. Exercises

Hepburn was such a kind lady that she spent her last few years working with UNICEF to help poor children all over the world.
Hepburn acted so well that some people mistook her for a real princess.
Hepburn was such a great actress that she’ll always be remembered.
We can use adjective or an adverb between so and that. We use a noun between such and that.

1) Miss Jiang is _____ a popular teacher that almost everyone likes her.
2) The computer is ______expensive that I cannot afford it at all.
3) Nancy is _______ lonely and wants to go back home at once.
Keys: such so very
Step 4 Grammar explanation (so that)
1. so that引导目的状语从句, (目的状语从句用以说明主句动作发生的目的。)
其从句中的谓语动词通常和情态动词can, may, will, might, would, could, should等情态动词连用, 而且主句和从句之间不使用逗号。
so that意为“以便, 为了, 使能够”，可以与in order that相替换。
e.g. They got up early so that they could catch the early bus.
为了能赶上早班车, 他们早早就起床了。
Say slowly so that I can understand you. 说慢点, 好让我听明白。
We will come at eight so that the meeting can begin early. =
We will come at eight in order that the meeting can begin early.
2. so…that…引导结果状语从句, 意为“如此 ……以至于……”, so后面加形容词或副词。
e.g. This book is so interesting that everyone wants to read it.
这本书很有趣, 人人都想看看。
He ran so fast that I couldn’t catch up with him.
他跑得那么快, 我没赶上他。
so that句型也可以用来引导结果状语从句, 意为“因此, 结果”, 这时其从句中的谓语动词不与情态动词连用。
这种结构和so…that…引导的结果在含义上有很大的区别。
请比较：
He didn’t plan his time well, so that he didn’t finish his work in time. 他没有把时间计划好, 结果没有按时完成这项工作。 (没按时完成这项工作的原因是没计划好时间)
It’s so hot that I can’t sleep.
天气热得我不能入睡。 (天气热到人不能入睡的程度。)

用so that翻译句子。

2) 他借了很多书，以便在暑假里阅读。
Keys: I wear glasses so that I can see more clearly.
He borrowed many books so that he could read them in the summer holiday.

Step 2 Grammar explanation ('although/though')
1. Although 的用法
although/though用作连词, 意为“尽管, 虽然” , 常用于引导让步状语从句。让步状语从句表示即使出现在从句中的情况，主句动作仍然会发生，有“退一步说……”的意思。
although和though可用于句首或句中, 但不能与连词but同时使用,不过可与yet, still连用。
若主从句的主语相同, 且从句谓语含有动词be, 可将从句主语和动词be省略。
注意：
although和though在一般情况下可以互换使用。在口语中，though较常使用，although比though更正式一些。
e.g. I will try it, although I may fail. 即使我可能失败，我也要试一下。
Although /though (it was) snowing, it was not very cold.
虽然在下雪, 但是天气不是很冷。
There is air around us, although we can’t see it.
尽管我们看不见, 但我们周围全是空气。
Although / Though you are a little younger than me, yet you are much taller. (√)
Although / Though you are a little younger than me, but you are much taller. (×)

2) ______________________________________________ (play / fun / to / computer games / are), students should not spend too much time on them.
3) __________________________________________ (misses / she / home town / her), she is not going back this year.
Keys: Although / Though the test was difficult

Step 3 Grammar explanation (so...that and such...that )
The flowers are beautiful. Everyone likes them.
The flowers are so beautiful that everyone likes them.
She is a lovely baby. Everyone loves her.
She is such a lovely baby that everyone loves her.
1. such... that 作“ 如此…以至于” 解，连接结果状语从句。(结果状语从句是用来补充说明主句动作发生所带来的结果。)
和 so... that 意思相同，但是用法不同。so 是副词，后面可加形容词和副词：
so+ adj./adv.+ that clause
e.g. It is so nice that we can go out for a picnic.
天气是如此的好以至于我们可以外出野餐。
而 such 是限定词，后面要加名词或名词词组，名词前面可以带形容词，也可以不带。
such +noun/noun phrases + that clause
e.g. It is such a nice day that we can go out for a picnic.
今天是如此好的一天以至于我们可以外出野餐。
注意：
如果such 后面的名词前由many, much, few, little 等词所修饰的话，则不用such 而用so。
e.g. He had so little education that he was unfit for this job.
他所受教育很少，不适合这个工作。
2. Practice
用so…that或such…that翻译句子。
1) 这个问题太难了，没有人能回答。

Hepburn was such a kind lady that she spent her last few years working with UNICEF to help poor children all over the world.
Hepburn acted so well that some people mistook her for a real princess.
Hepburn was such a great actress that she’ll always be remembered.
We can use adjective or an adverb between so and that. We use a noun between such and that.

1) Miss Jiang is _____ a popular teacher that almost everyone likes her.
2) The computer is ______expensive that I cannot afford it at all.
3) Nancy is _______ lonely and wants to go back home at once.
Keys: such so very
Step 4 Grammar explanation (so that)
1. so that引导目的状语从句, (目的状语从句用以说明主句动作发生的目的。)
其从句中的谓语动词通常和情态动词can, may, will, might, would, could, should等情态动词连用, 而且主句和从句之间不使用逗号。
so that意为“以便, 为了, 使能够”，可以与in order that相替换。
e.g. They got up early so that they could catch the early bus.
为了能赶上早班车, 他们早早就起床了。
Say slowly so that I can understand you. 说慢点, 好让我听明白。
We will come at eight so that the meeting can begin early. =
We will come at eight in order that the meeting can begin early.
2. so…that…引导结果状语从句, 意为“如此 ……以至于……”, so后面加形容词或副词。
e.g. This book is so interesting that everyone wants to read it.
这本书很有趣, 人人都想看看。
He ran so fast that I couldn’t catch up with him.
他跑得那么快, 我没赶上他。
so that句型也可以用来引导结果状语从句, 意为“因此, 结果”, 这时其从句中的谓语动词不与情态动词连用。
这种结构和so…that…引导的结果在含义上有很大的区别。
请比较：
He didn’t plan his time well, so that he didn’t finish his work in time. 他没有把时间计划好, 结果没有按时完成这项工作。 (没按时完成这项工作的原因是没计划好时间)
It’s so hot that I can’t sleep.
天气热得我不能入睡。 (天气热到人不能入睡的程度。)
3. Practice
用so that翻译句子。
1) 我戴眼镜是为了看得更清楚。
2) 他借了很多书，以便在暑假里阅读。
Keys: I wear glasses so that I can see more clearly.
He borrowed many books so that he could read them in the summer holiday.
