专题八 状语从句、定语从句
状语从句
一、时间状语从句
1.before引导的从句中不用否定式谓语。常用如下句型:
It is long before...(过了好久才……)
It is not long before...(过了不久就……)
2.since后面所用动词不同,该动词所表示动作持续时间的计算方法也不同。
It is two years since he joined the army.
It is two years since he smoked.
二、地点状语从句
多由where和wherever引导。
Where there is a will,there is a way.
二、原因状语从句
在表示原因时,because语气最重,其次是as,since,now that,故在回答why问句或者在强调句对原因进行强调时,只能用because。for是并列连词,表示推测的理由或者进一步说明,不能放在句首,for前要用逗号。
—Why were you absent?
—Because I was ill.
三、目的状语从句
1.so that/in order that引导的目的状语从句中的谓语动词多用can/could/may/might/will/would+动词。
