2. Explain the grammar points.
时间状语从句的概念：在英语中用从句来表示一件事情或一个行为发生的时间，那么这个从句就叫时间状语从句。时间状语从句根据其表示的时间不同，所使用的连词也不同，常见的有when，while，before，after，as soon as，since，until等。不同的引导词引导的时间状语从句的意义也不同。
Tips:
as soon as表示语句的动作紧接着从句的动作而发生。
not … until…与until：前者表示“直到……才……”，指主句的动作在从句所表示的时间才开始，谓语一般用非延续性动词；而后者则表示主句的动作在从句所表示的时间之前就开始，并且一直持续到该时间为止，其谓语一般用持续性动词。
“主将从现”：即主句用一般将来时态，从句只能用一般现在时。
从句的位置：时间状语从句放在主句之前或之后均可。但在主句之前时，应使用逗号与主句分开。
【设计意图】以图示的方式讲解了时间状语从句的语法知识，带领学生系统掌握该语法点。
