第15講:狀語從句
狀語從句是句子的狀語由一個從句充當,來修飾主句中的動詞,形容詞或副詞等。狀語從句都由從屬連詞引導,與主句連接,放在句末時,一般不在前面加逗號。
狀語從句根據(jù)它表示的意思可分為時間,原因,條件,比較,結果,目的等類。下面我們揀重點的一個一個來分析。
時間狀語從句:是由when, as, while, after, before, since, until, as soon as 等從屬連詞引導的狀語從句。時間狀語從句中的謂語動詞不能用一般將來時,只能用一般現(xiàn)在時表示將來發(fā)生的動作或存在的狀態(tài)。 如:I will call you as soon as I arrive there.
原因狀語從句: because, since, as和for都表示原因。常常令我們不知該用哪個好。我們來比較一下。because語勢較強,回答why提出的問題,用來說明人所不知的原因。當能夠很明顯的看出原因或人們已知原因,就用as或since。如:I don't like that coat,because the color looks terrible. 由because引導的從句如果放在句末,且前面有逗號,則可以用for來代替。但如果不是說明直接原因,而是多種情況加以推斷,就只能用for。如:He is not here, because / for his mother is ill.
目的狀語從句:表示目的狀語的從句可以由in order that, so that,等詞引導。如:You must raise your voice so that/in order that everybody can hear you clearly.
結果狀語從句:結果狀語從句常由so...that 或 such...that引導,要掌握和區(qū)分這兩個句型,首先要了解so和such后面分別跟什么詞。such是形容詞,修飾名詞或名詞詞組,so是副詞,只能修飾形容詞或副詞。so 還可與表示數(shù)量的形容詞many, few, much, little連用,形成固定搭配。如:The box is so heavy that I can't carry it.
讓步狀語從句:是由though, although 引導的狀語從句。though, although 和 but不能同時使用。
Although it rained, they had a good time.
