Ⅲ.语法学习

复习状语从句的用法。特别注意状语从句的时态应用：

1.在时间状语或条件状语从句中，若主句是一般现在时或一般将来时，那么从句有以下时态：

(1)用一般现在时表示一般将来时。如：

Can I join the club,Dad?

You can when you a bit older.

A.get B.will get C.are getting D.will have get 答案：A

(2)用现在完成时表示将来完成时。如：

We won't climb up the mountain until rain .

A.stopped B.stops C.has stopped D.is stopped 答案：C

2.no sooner...than,hardly...when引导的时间状语从句，从句中的谓语动词常用一般过去时，主句用过去完成时。

No sooner had she seen the news than she fainted.(她一看到这个消息就晕倒了。)

Hardly had they started to work when the trouble began (她们一开始工作，问题就来了。)

3.由when,as,while引导的状语从句，在过去时间范畴内，谓语动词有如下时态：

(1)若主句的谓语动词表示短暂的动作，而从句的动作可以持续一段时间，主句的谓语

动词用一般过去时，从句的谓语动词用过去进行时。如：

My brother while he his bicycle and hurt himself.

A.fell;was B.fell;we riding

C.had fallen;rode D.had fallen;was riding 答案：A

Tom into the house when no one .答案：A

A.slipped;was looking B.had slipped;looked

C.slipped;has looked D.was slipping;looked

As she the newspaper,Granny asleep.

A.read;was falling B.was reading;fell

C.was reading;was falling D.read;fell 答案：B

(2)由when引导的状语从句，若主句谓语是持续动词，从句谓语是非持续性动词，则主句用过去时，从句用一般过去时。如：

The students busily when Miss Brown went to get a book she in the office.

A.had written;lift B.were writing;has left

C.has written;had left D.were writing;had left 答案：D

4.由since引导的时间状语从句，主从复合句中的谓语动词有如下状态：

since时间从句中的动词大多用一般过去时，主句用现在完成时；如果主句表示时间的it作主语，则多用一般现在时(也可以用现在完成时)。如：

How have you been since I saw you last time?(自从我上次见到你以后，你一向还

好吗?)

It is (has been)just a month since he arrived here.(他来这里已经有一个月了。)

It is five years since I lived in Nanchang.(自从我不住在南昌以来已经5年了。)

It is five years since I began to live Nanchang.(自从我住在南昌以来已经5年了。)

I haven't heard from him since I lived in Nanchang.(自从我离开南昌以来，已经5年了。)

5.含before引导的状语从句，如果从句的谓语为一般过去时，那么主句谓语可用过去完成时，有时也可用一般过去时。如：

That was long before I came.(那是我来以前很久的事了。)

We had scarcely left our school before it began to rain.(我们刚离开学校时，天就下雨了。)

6.在由by the time 引导的状语从句中，当谓语用一般现在时，主句用将来完成时。

By the time you come home next time.the building will have been finished.(到下次你回来的时候，这栋楼房就建起来了。)

指点迷津

倒装句的用法

1.在以here,there,in,out,up,down,away,back,now,then等副词开头的句子里，如果主语是名词，常用全部倒装。

Out rushed the boys.

Then followed three days of heavy rain.

若代词作主语，只把该副词提前主谓语序不变。Here he comes.Here it is.

2.当句首状语是表示地点的介词组时，也常常引起全部倒装。

South of the city lies a big steel factory.

3.以带有否定意义而且修饰全句的词开关的句子，要用“部分倒装”语序(倒装的方法跟变一般疑问句的方法相似)。这类常见词有never,hardly,seldom,not,not,only,not until(引导从句时，主句“部分倒装”)，little, rarely, no sooner... than, hardly... when, scarcely... when。

展开全文阅读 Never shall I do this again.

其中no sooner...than,hardly...when,scarcely...when表示“一……就……”的意思。no sooner,hardly,scarcely引出的主句要用“部分倒装”形式的过去完成时，than,when引出的从句用过去时。

No sooner had I got home than it began the to rain.

如果带有否定意义的词不是修饰全句，只是修饰主语，那么句子的主谓不必倒装。

Scarcely a sound came from among the crowd.

4.so修饰形容词或副词，only修饰副词或状语放在句首时“部分倒装”。

So badly was he injured in the accident that he was sent to the hospital for treatment.

Only in this way can you master English.

如果only修饰主语，句子则不倒装。

Only Wang Lin knows this.

5.把副词so放在句首，表示前面所说的情况也适用于另一人或物，意思为“也”，需倒装。其句型为：So+be(have,助动词或情态动词)+主语。

—She went to the cinema last night.

—So did I.

但如果so不作“也”也，用来重复前面一句话的意思时，句子不倒装。

—It is raining.

—So it is.

6.neither,nor或no more评论在句首，作“也不”讲时，所引导的句子用部分倒装语序。He can't answer the question. Neither can I.

7.为了保持句子平衡或为了强调表语或状语，或使上下文紧密衔接时，需倒装。

Gone are the days when we used foreign oil.

8.由as,though(although)引导的表示“虽然”，“尽管”的让步状语从句，用倒装语序，即把从句中的表语或装语等放在as的前面。
