B：No , ten is all right .

Ⅲ. 語法學習

復習狀語從句的用法。特別注意狀語從句的時態(tài)應用：

※ 在時間狀語或條件狀語從句中，若主句是一般現(xiàn)在時或一般將來時，那么從句有以下時態(tài)：

1 . 用一般現(xiàn)在時表示一般將來時。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 . 用現(xiàn)在完成時表示將來完成時。如：

We won‘t climb up the mountain until rain ______ .

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

答案：C

※ no sooner … than , hardly … when 引導的時間狀語從句，從句中的謂語動詞常用一 般過去時，主句用過去完成時。

No sooner had she seen the news than she fainted . (她一看到這個消息就暈倒了。)

Hardly had they started to work when the trouble began . (她們一開始工作，問題就來了。)

※ 由 when , as , while 引導的狀語從句，在過去時間范疇內，謂語動詞有如下時態(tài)：

1 . 若主句的謂語動詞表示短暫的動作，而從句的動作可以持續(xù)一段時間時，主句的謂語動詞用一般過去時，從句的謂語動詞用過去進行時。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 引導的狀語從句，若主句謂語是持續(xù)動詞，從句謂語是非持續(xù)性動詞，則主句用過去時，從句用一般過去時。如：

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

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

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

※ 由 since 引導的時間狀語從句，主從復合句中的謂語動詞有如下狀態(tài)：

since 時間從句中的動詞大多用一般過去時，主句用現(xiàn)在完成時；如果主句表示時間的 it作主語，則多用一般現(xiàn)在時(也可以用現(xiàn)在完成時)。如：

How have you been since I saw you last time ? (自從我上次見到你以后，你一向還好嗎 ? )

It is (has been)just a month since he arrived here . (他來這里已經(jīng)有一月了。)

It is five years since I lived in Nanchang . (自從我不住在南昌以來已經(jīng)5年了。)

It is five years since I began to live in Nanchang . (自從我住在南昌以來已經(jīng)5年了。)

I haven’t heard from him since I lived in Nancang . (自從我離開南昌以來，已經(jīng)5年了。)

※ 含 before 引導的狀語從句，如果從句的謂語為一般過去時，那么主句謂語可用過去完成時，有時也用一般過去時。如：

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

We had scarcely left our school before it began to rain . (我們剛離開學校時，天就下雨了。)

※ 在由 by the time 引導的狀語從句中，當謂語用一般現(xiàn)在時，主句用將來完成時。

BY the time you come home next time . the building will have been finished . (到下次你回來的時候，這陳樓房就建起來了。)

【指點迷津】

倒裝句的用法

1 . 在以 here , there , in , out , up , down , away , back , now , then 等副詞開頭的句子里，如果主語是名詞，常用全部倒裝。

Out rushed the boys .

Then followed three days of heavy rain .

若代詞作主語，只把該副詞提前主謂語序不變。Here he comes . Here it is .

2 . 當句首狀語是表示地點的介詞詞組時，也常常引起全部倒裝。

South of the city lies a big steel factory .

3 . 以帶有否定意義而且修飾全句的詞開頭的句子，要用“部分倒裝”語序 ( 倒裝的方法跟變一般疑問句的方法相似 ) 。這類常見詞有 never , hardly , seldom , not , not only , not until ( 引導從句時，主句“部分倒裝” ) ，little , rarely , no sooner . . . than , hardly . . . when , scarcely . . . when。

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“部分倒裝”形式的過去完成時，than , when 引出的從句用過去時。

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

如果帶有否定意義的詞不是修飾全句，只是修飾主語，那么句子的主謂不必倒裝。

Scarcely a sound came from among the crowd .

4 . so 修飾形容詞或副詞，only 修飾副詞或狀語放在句首時“部分倒裝”。

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 修飾主語，句子則不倒裝。

Only Wang Lin knows this .

5 . 把副詞 so 放在句首，表示前面所說的情況也適用于另一人或物，意思為“也”，需倒裝。其句型為：So + be ( have , 助動詞或情態(tài)動詞 ) + 主語。

-She went to the cinema last night .

-So did I .

但如果 so 不作“也”講，用來重復前面一句話的意思時，句子不倒裝。

-It is raining .

-So it is .

6 . neither , nor 或 no more 放在句首，作“也不”講時，所引導的句子用部分倒裝語序。He can ‘ t answer the question . Neither can I .

7 . 為了保持句子平衡或為了強調表語或狀語，或使上下文緊密銜接時，需倒裝。

Gone are the days when we used foreign oil .

8 . 由 as , though ( although ) 引導的表示“雖然”，“盡管”的讓步狀語從句，用倒裝語序，即把從句中的表語或狀語等放在 as 的前面。

單元語法發(fā)散思維

高考與狀語要點復習

狀語是用來修飾動詞、形容詞、副詞的，也可以修飾全句，用作狀語的有副詞、介詞短語、形容詞、非謂語動詞和從句等。

She wanted very much to go to college .

Hopefully , the cave will be protected and won’t be damaged by visitors .

According to the present law , we cannot visit it .

We travelled to France at our own expense .

We were proud to have found the cave carvings .

Look ! He stands quite still .

Inspired by their discovery , many people went climbing the hills in search of more cave carvings and paintings .

I know how to light camp fire because I‘ve done it .

狀語是常用的句子成分，復習中應注意：

1 . 時間狀語從句

★ when , as 和 while 引導時間狀語從句時，謂語是延續(xù)性動詞時，三者可互換使用，如：

When / While / As we were laughing , the teacher came in .

★ 主、從句動作先后發(fā)生時，只能用 when，而不能用 as 或 while , 如：

When we got to the cinema , the film had already begun .

★ 主、從句動作都是終止性時，when 與 as 可互換作用，如：

He came just as / when I reached the gate .

★ 從句謂語表示一個持續(xù)性狀態(tài)時，通常用 while 引導，如：

Strike while the iron is hot . 打鐵要趁熱。

He is doing some washing while I am doing some sewing .

★ 當 when 和 before 引導的句子位于句尾時，多半不要譯成“當……時候”、“在……之前”，而要譯為“就”、“才”、“突然”，如：

The war lasted four years before the north won in the end . 這場戰(zhàn)爭打了4年，北方才最終獲勝。

★ by the time , each time , every time , immediately , the moment , the day , soon after , shortly after 可當連詞使用。

You look beautiful every time I see you .

You must show the gentleman in immediately he comes .

I recognized you the moment I saw you .

★ till 與 until 意思相同，引導時間狀語從句時，主句是延續(xù)動作，從句用肯定式；反之，用否定式：

I worked till / until he came back . 我一直工作到他回來。

I didn’t go to bed till / until he came back . 直到他回來我才去睡覺。

★ 在時間、條件、方式、讓步狀語從句中，用一般現(xiàn)在時和一般過去時表示將來和過去將來。

★ hardly …… when 和 no sooner …… than 的意義同 as soon as一樣。當 hardly 及 no sooner 放在句首時，主句要倒裝，即把謂語中的助動詞提到主語之前。如：

Hardly had he fallen asleep when he felt a soft touch on his pillow . (主句用過去完成時，從句要用一般過去時)

2 . 地點狀語從句通常由 where 或者 wherever 引導。后者感情色彩強，多用于書面語。

Where there is a will , there is a way .

Wherever you work , you must try your best .

3 . 原因狀語從句

通常由 because , as , since , now that 引導。 because 引導的從句是全句的重心所在，在有上下文的情況下，可以不要主句而單獨存在。as 與 since 則不行。在回答以 why 提問的句子時，只能用 because 而不能用語氣較弱的 since 或 as。because 通常放在主句之后，特別強調時，也見諸于句首。

as 通常放在句首，說明原因；主句在后說明結果。

since , now that 同義，表示一種顯然的或已知的理由、原因。如：

It was because he was will that he didn‘t go with us .

As there was no answer , I had to write again .

Since / Now that all have arrived , let’s have dinner .

4 . 目的狀語從句通常由 that , so that , in order that , for fear that , lest , in case 來引導。

5 . 結果狀語從句

由 so … that 與 such… that 引導的結果狀語從句都表示主句的動作或狀態(tài)達到何種程度而引起的結果。so 是 adv. 修飾adj. 或 adv ; such 是 adj. 用來修飾 n. 或名詞詞組，如：

Mr Green is so busy that he can‘t leave his office .

He made such rapid progress that before long he began to write articles of English newspapers .

6 . 條件狀語從句

通常由 if , unless 如果不，除非，as long as = so long as 只要，in case 如果，萬一，等連詞引導。注意條件狀語從句中用現(xiàn)在時代表將來時。

As long as you come on time , you won’t be blamed .

7 . 方式狀語從句

通常由連詞 as (正、如)，as if (as though) 等引導。后者引導的方式狀語從句多用虛擬語氣。

Do it carefully as you are told .

He talks as if he had been there several times .

8 . 比較狀語從句

通常由連詞 as…as , not so…as 等引導。

Can you write as well as my niece ?

9 . 讓步狀語從句

通常由連詞 though , although , as , even if , even though , whoever , whatever , whichever , whenever , wherever , however , no matter who (what , which when , where , how) , whether 等引導。

★ as 引導的讓步狀語從句多見于書面語，要使用部分倒裝語序，如：

Young as he is , he can read and write in several foreign languages . (表語提前)

Child as he was , he had to help support the family . (表語名詞提前并省去冠詞)

★ even if , even though 與 though 引導的讓步狀語從句意義不同，試比較：

He‘ll keep the secret even if / even though he knew it .

He’ll keep the secret though he knows it .

★ whether 多引導名詞從句，如引導讓步狀語從句時，要用“，”與主句分開，其前還可加 no matter。如：

You‘ll have to do it , whether you like it or not . (狀語從句)

I don’t know whether you like it or not . (賓語從句)

★“no matter + 疑問詞”= “疑問詞 + ever”，但 no matter 后邊不能再加“疑問詞 + ever。”可說：

Whatever (= No matter what) you say , I won‘t agree with you . 但是不說 No matter whatever you say , I won’t agree with

10 . 不定式作狀語

★ 目的狀語

In order to succeed , he worked day and night .

★ 作表語或補語 adj . 的狀語

He was happy to have been given such an opportunity .

They found the problem difficult to solve .

★ 在“adj . / adv . + enough + to do”與“ too + adj . / adv . + to do”結構中，不定式作程度或結果狀語，如：

Is your brother old enough to join the army ?

It is too dark (for us) to see anything in it .

★通常 “too + adj . / adv. + to do”表示否定意義，即“太……(以致)不……”，但在以下句式中表達肯定：

a . “only too … to do”

b . “too + ready , anxious , easy , eager , willing … + to do”

c . “not + never too… to do”

d . “too…not to do”四種結構中，并不表示否定。如：

He‘ll be only (just , but) too glad to help you . 他太愿意幫助你了。

★ 結果狀語

不定式作結果狀語往往表示一種事先沒有料到的情況或結果。為了加強始料不及的語氣，可以在不定式前加上 only，如：

I went to see him only to find him out .

11 . 分詞作狀語

★ 時間狀語

Taking off his overcoat , he came over to us and sat down . (分詞動作的邏輯主語是句子主語時用現(xiàn)在分詞)

Seen from a distance , the farmhouse looked deserted . (句子主語是分詞動作承受者時，用過去分詞)

為了強調分詞動作與謂語同時進行，可在分詞前加上 when 或 while。

When / While working on a new invention , Edison made more than 8 , 000 tests without success .

★ 原因狀語

Being a Party member , he is always ready to help others .

Greatly inspired by the teacher’s words , I‘ve made up my mind to work at English even harder .

★ 其它狀語

He stood there , (as if) remembering something . (伴隨情況或附加說明)

She won’t come (unless ) invited . (條件)

The soup is boiling hot . (程度)

They used to go shopping on Sundays . (目的)

★ 獨立成分，用來表示說話人的立場、態(tài)度、或看問題的角度。如：

Considering when these paintings were done , they are in excellent condition . 考慮到做畫的年代，這些畫要算保存很完好了。

Generally speaking , boys are more interested in football than girls . 一般來說，男孩比女孩對足球更感興趣。

Judging from his appearance , he must be a very healthy boy . 從外觀上判斷，他是個非常健康的男孩。

★ 獨立主格結構，分詞作狀語，當其邏輯主語與句子主語不一致時，須在前邊加上自己的邏輯主語，如：

Her tea finished , she went on with her work .

All the tickets having been sold out , we went away disappointed .

Weather permitting , we‘ll go to the Great Wall .

★ 獨立主格結構中的 being 通常被省去。如：

Nobody (being) in the room , I didn’t go in .

The meeting over , we went abroad .

★ 表示伴隨情況的獨立主格有時可用 with 的復合結構替代，如：

He sat there thinking , (his) head (being) on (his )hands (= with his head on his hands) .
