用从句来表达一件事情或一个行为发生的时间, 这个从句就叫时间状语从句。
不同的引导词引导的时间状语从句的意思也不同,常见的引导词有when,while,before,after,until,since和as soon as。
时间状语从句
一、when引导的时间状语从句
when引导的时间状语从句既可以表示点时间,也可以表示时间的延续,即表示一段时间,因此从句的谓语动词既可以是瞬间动词,也可以是延续性动词。此外,从句的动作既可与主句的动作同时发生,也可先后发生。
e.g. When I got home, I found the door open.
当我到家的时候,我发现门是开着的。
I used to like drawing when I was young.
我年轻的时候曾经喜欢画画。
二、while引导的时间状语从句
while引导的时间状语从句表示时间的延续,即表示一段时间,因此从句的谓语动词用持续性动词或状态动词,且持续性动词常用进行时态。此外,主句的动作发生在从句所表示的时间段之内或主从句动作同时发生。
e.g. There was a big noise suddenly while I was cooking.
我做饭的时候突然一声巨响。
He kept working part-time while he was at university.
他上大学的时候坚持兼职工作。
when与while 都意为“当……的时候”。when 引导的时间状语从句, 谓语动词既可以是持续性的, 也可以是终止性的;而while引导的时间状语从句, 谓语动词只能是持续性的, 并且常用进行时态。试比较:
When he woke up, it was nine o’clock. √
While he woke up, it was nine o’clock. ×
When I was waiting for a bus, I met her. √
While I was waiting for a bus, I met her. √
辨析
三、before引导的时间状语从句
before表示主句的动作发生在从句之前。
e.g. I can’t tell you what happened before he comes back.
他回来之前我不能告诉你发生什么了。
四、after引导的时间状语从句
after表示主句的动作发生在从句的动作之后。
e.g. After she finished the task, she enjoyed a happy vacation.
完成任务后,她好好地度了一个假。
五、as soon as引导的时间状语从句
as soon as表示主句的动作紧随从句动作之后发生的。表示“一……就”。
e.g. I will call you as soon as I arrive home.
我一到家就给你打电话。
六、until引导的时间状语从句
until(till)在肯定句中,常与延续性动词连用,意为“到……为止”;在否定句中,常与表示瞬间性动作的动词连用,意为“直到……才”。
e.g. I didn’t realize my mistake until he told me.
直到他告诉我,我才意识到自己的错误。
七、since引导的时间状语从句
since引导时间状语从句,意思是“自从……;从此;从 …… 以来”等。
1) 若since引导的状语从句的谓语动词是终止性动词(如go, come, leave, start, begin等)的过去时, 则从句表示的时间是“从该动作开始的那一时刻起”。这是最常见的一种用法。
e.g. He has been badly ill since his son went abroad.
自从他儿子出国以后,他就一直病得厉害。
2)若since引导的状语从句的谓语动词是持续性动词或表示状态的静态动词(如live, stay, study, learn, smoke, be等)的过去时, 则从句表示的时间是“从该动作或状态的完成或结束时算起”。如:
It’s ten years since I’ve seen her.
我已经十年没有见到她了。
