Step 3 Grammar
一、让步状语从句
although和though引导让步状语从句，意为“虽然；尽管”，两词用法基本相同，只是although更加正式一些，在口语中，though较为常用。
Little Jack has learned to do lots of things on his own, although he is only four years old.
小杰克尽管只有4岁，但他已学会了自己做很多事情。
Though my grandfather is very old, he is very healthy.
我爷爷虽然年龄很大了，但他很健康。
[注意]
(1)在英语中，不管是although还是though，都不能与but同时出现在一个句子中。
Although we tried our best, we failed.
尽管我们尽了最大努力，但我们失败了。
We tried our best, but we failed.
我们尽了最大的努力，但我们失败了。
(2) although和though可以和yet或still连用。
Although I lost almost everything in this terrible earthquake, yet I have not lost my life. 在这次可怕的地震中尽管我几乎失去了所有的东西，然而我没有失去生命。
二、结果状语从句
so…that…引导结果状语从句，意为“如此……以至于……”，so后面接的是形容词或副词，that后接一个句子表示结果。
The girl was so clever that she worked out the maths problem immediately.
这个女孩如此聪明以至于她立刻就解答出了这道数学题目。
It rained so heavily that we had to stop the game.
雨下得太大，以至于我们不得不停止了比赛。
[注意]
下面两个句式要特别记住：
(1) so many / much / few / little（少） +名词+that从句
There were so many people that the hall was full.
有这么多的人，以至于大厅都满了。
(2) so +形容词+a / an +单数可数名词+that从句（=such +a / an+形容词+单数可数名词+that从句）
That was so difficult a problem that few students could work it out.
