从句类型 状语从句
在句子中作状语成分的从句叫状语从句。依据其含义,可分为时间、地点、原因、目的、结果、条件、让步等状语从句,下面就各种状语从句的疑难问题展开。
Ⅰ. 时间状语从句
时间状语从句通常由下列连词引导:after, before, since, as, when, whenever, while, till, until, once, as soon as, scarcely (hardly)… when (before), no sooner than, immediately (that), directly( that), the moment, the instant (that)等。
1. as, when 和 while 都可以表示主句中动作发生的背景,也可以表示主句的动作与从句的动作同时发生。因此,在很多情况下这三个连词可以互换使用。例:
example:
as/when/while I was reading a book, he came into my room.
虽然很多情况下可以互换,但while一词用作时间状语从句的连词时, 一般不能与短暂性动词一起使用,因为while在时间概念上表示一段时间,不能表示非持续性动作。因此下列句子中的while应该改为when或as.
Example:
The mother was overjoyed while she found the lost child.
连词when的位置很灵活,下面两句话的意思非常相近,只是英译汉时稍有不同。
Example:
We were driving swiftly on the road when the car broke down.
When we were driving swiftly on the road, the car broke down.

用在时间状语从句中常见模式是:主句为完成时,而从句为一般过去时。其实这并不是唯一的选择。下面这些时态搭配都是可以的。
Example:
Since her parents died, she has lived a poor life.
I haven’t been to the Great Wall since I have been in Beijing.
Two years had passed since my daughter had married him.
It seems ages since we saw him last.
It has been ages since I felt happy.
, directly, immediately原是修饰连词that与when的副词。现在这三词已单独地引导状语从句,意义相当于as soon as,同时名词词组 the moment, the instant, the minute 也可充当引导状语从句的连词。例:
example:
the moment the meeting is over, I will fly to New York.
She wept aloud immediately she heard the news.
I felt back home the instant I stepped on my homeland.

sooner…than/ hardly…when/ scarcely…when 可以分别用来强调两个非持续性动作的同时发生。例如:
Example:
I had no sooner got back to the kitchen than the door bell rang loud enough to wake the dead.
5. 时间状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致时,或时间状语从句的主语是不定代词it 时,这时状语从句的主语连词同动词be一起都可以省略。例:
When (you are) in trouble, telephone to me.

Ⅱ. 原因状语从句
, since, as, now that, seeing (that), considering (that)引导。
because, since, as都是引导原因状语从句的连词,其区别如下,because引导的状语从句既可放在主句之前,也可置于主句之后,但置于主句之后情况居多。它所引导的原因状语从句更强调原因。而由since与as引导的从句则更强调结果,且它们多数情况下放在主句
