Unless we do something to stop it, the problem will get worse.

五、语法聚焦:状语从句(时间状语从句与条件状语从句)
1. 时间状语从句
引导词:as soon as, when, while, until, before, after 等。
用法:
as soon as 表示“一……就……”,从句动作先于主句动作发生,主句和从句时态需一致(主将从现/主过从过)。
例:I will call you as soon as I arrive.(我一到就给你打电话。)
until 表示“直到……”,主句动词为延续性动词时用肯定句,为非延续性动词时用否定句(not...until)。
例:He waited until I came back.(他一直等到我回来。)
He didn’t leave until I came back.(直到我回来他才离开。)
2. 条件状语从句
引导词:if, unless, as long as 等。
用法:
if 表示“如果”,unless 表示“除非(= if...not)”,从句用一般现在时表将来(主将从现)。
