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。
状语从句 (1)：时间状语从句
1. when 引导的时间状语从句
When“当……时候”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 the weather is fine, many people go out for a walk.
When I got home, I found my baby girl singing in the sitting room.
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。
2. while引导的时间状语从句
e.g. Jenny went to the movies while I was having a class.
While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died.
3. before/after引导的时间状语从句
before “在……之前”。
after “在……之后”。
e.g. Before we begin dinner, my father gives thanks for the food.
Mother sometimes prepares dinner after I come back from school.
4. as soon as引导的时间状语从句
as soon as “一……就……”，强调主句的动作紧跟着从句的动作发生。如果主句是一般将来时，as soon as引导的时间状语从句要用一般现在时表示将来。
e.g. I’ll send you an email as soon as I get there.
He began to work as soon as we got there.
5. since引导的时间状语从句
since“自从；自……以来” ，多数情况下主句用完成时，从句用一般过去时。
e.g. Miss Li has lived in Shanghai since she came to China.
I have known Bill since he was born.
He has studied very hard since he came to our school.
6. until引导的时间状语从句
until“直到……时；到……为止”，它表示动作或状态一直持续到某一时刻。
e.g. He waited until all the guests left.
I will wait until you finish all the work.
本模块Unit1对话中的句子：My parents and I are going to visit some friends in Shandong Province and we’ll stay there until the end of the holiday.
until后面接的是时间状语，相当于时间状语从句until the holiday is over.
