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：
※ 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
※ 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。)
※ 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时，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 ; left B . were writing ; has left
C . had written ; had left D . were writing ; had left 答案：D
※ 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 in 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 Nancang . (自从我离开南昌以来，已经5年了。)
※ 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。)
※ 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，这陈楼房就建起来了。)
【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头的句子，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。
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 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”讲，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 放在句首，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状语等放在 as 的前面。

高考与状语要点复习
状语是用来修饰动词、形容词、副词的，也可以修饰全句，用作状语的有副词、介词短语、形容词、非谓语动词和从句等。
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 .
状语是常用的句子成分，复习中应注意：
1 . 时间状语从句
★ when , as 和 while 引导时间状语从句时，谓语是延续性动词时，三者可互换使用，如：
When / While / As we were laughing , the teacher came in .
★ 主、从句动作先后发生时，只能用 when，而不能用 as 或 while , 如：
When we got to the cinema , the film had already begun .
★ 主、从句动作都是终止性时，when 与 as 可互换作用，如：
He came just as / when I reached the gate .
★ 从句谓语表示一个持续性状态时，通常用 while 引导，如：
Strike while the iron is hot . 打铁要趁热。
He is doing some washing while I am doing some sewing .
★ 当 when 和 before 引导的句子位于句尾时，多半不要译成“当……时候”、“在……之前”，而要译为“就”、“才”、“突然”，如：
The war lasted four years before the north won in the end . 这场战争打了4年，北方才最终获胜。
★ by the time , each time , every time , immediately , the moment , the day , soon after , shortly after 可当连词使用。
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 与 until 意思相同，引导时间状语从句时，主句是延续动作，从句用肯定式；反之，用否定式：
I worked till / until he came back . 我一直工作到他回来。
I didn’t go to bed till / until he came back . 直到他回来我才去睡觉。
★ 在时间、条件、方式、让步状语从句中，用一般现在时和一般过去时表示将来和过去将来。
★ hardly …… when 和 no sooner …… than 的意义同 as soon as一样。当 hardly 及 no sooner 放在句首时，主句要倒装，即把谓语中的助动词提到主语之前。如：
Hardly had he fallen asleep when he felt a soft touch on his pillow . (主句用过去完成时，从句要用一般过去时)
2 . 地点状语从句通常由 where 或者 wherever 引导。后者感情色彩强，多用于书面语。
Where there is a will , there is a way .
Wherever you work , you must try your best .
3 . 原因状语从句
通常由 because , as , since , now that 引导。 because 引导的从句是全句的重心所在，在有上下文的情况下，可以不要主句而单独存在。as 与 since 则不行。在回答以 why 提问的句子时，只能用 because 而不能用语气较弱的 since 或 as。because 通常放在主句之后，特别强调时，也见诸于句首。
as 通常放在句首，说明原因；主句在后说明结果。
since , now that 同义，表示一种显然的或已知的理由、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 . 目的状语从句通常由 that , so that , in order that , for fear that , lest , in case 来引导。
5 . 结果状语从句
由 so … that 与 such… that 引导的结果状语从句都表示主句的动作或状态达到何种程度而引起的结果。so 是 adv. 修饰adj. 或 adv ; such 是 adj. 用来修饰 n. 或名词词组，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 . 条件状语从句
通常由 if , unless 如果不，除非，as long as = so long as 只要，in case 如果，万一，等连词引导。注意条件状语从句中用现在时代表将来时。
As long as you come on time , you won’t be blamed .
7 . 方式状语从句
通常由连词 as (正、如)，as if (as though) 等引导。后者引导的方式状语从句多用虚拟语气。
Do it carefully as you are told .
He talks as if he had been there several times .
8 . 比较状语从句
通常由连词 as…as , not so…as 等引导。
Can you write as well as my niece ?
9 . 让步状语从句
通常由连词 though , although , as , even if , even though , whoever , whatever , whichever , whenever , wherever , however , no matter who (what , which when , where , how) , whether 等引导。
★ as 引导的让步状语从句多见于书面语，要使用部分倒装语序，如：
Young as he is , he can read and write in several foreign languages . (表语提前)
Child as he was , he had to help support the family . (表语名词提前并省去冠词)
★ even if , even though 与 though 引导的让步状语从句意义不同，试比较：
He‘ll keep the secret even if / even though he knew it .
He’ll keep the secret though he knows it .
★ whether 多引导名词从句，如引导让步状语从句时，要用“，”与主句分开，其前还可加 no matter。如：
You‘ll have to do it , whether you like it or not . (状语从句)
I don’t know whether you like it or not . (宾语从句)
★“no matter + 疑问词”= “疑问词 + ever”，但 no matter 后边不能再加“疑问词 + ever。”可说：
Whatever (= No matter what) you say , I won‘t agree with you . 但是不说 No matter whatever you say , I won’t agree with
10 . 不定式作状语
★ 目的状语
In order to succeed , he worked day and night .
★ 作表语或补语 adj . 的状语
He was happy to have been given such an opportunity .
They found the problem difficult to solve .
★ 在“adj . / adv . + enough + to do”与“ too + adj . / adv . + to do”结构中，不定式作程度或结果状语，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”表示否定意义，即“太……(以致)不……”，但在以下句式中表达肯定：
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”四种结构中，并不表示否定。如：
He‘ll be only (just , but) too glad to help you . 他太愿意帮助你了。
★ 结果状语
不定式作结果状语往往表示一种事先没有料到的情况或结果。为了加强始料不及的语气，可以在不定式前加上 only，如：
I went to see him only to find him out .
11 . 分词作状语
★ 时间状语
Taking off his overcoat , he came over to us and sat down . (分词动作的逻辑主语是句子主语时用现在分词)
Seen from a distance , the farmhouse looked deserted . (句子主语是分词动作承受者时，用过去分词)
为了强调分词动作与谓语同时进行，可在分词前加上 when 或 while。
When / While working on a new invention , Edison made more than 8 , 000 tests without success .
★ 原因状语
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 .
★ 其它状语
He stood there , (as if) remembering something . (伴随情况或附加说明)
She won’t come (unless ) invited . (条件)
The soup is boiling hot . (程度)
They used to go shopping on Sundays . (目的)
★ 独立成分，用来表示说话人的立场、态度、或看问题的角度。如：
Considering when these paintings were done , they are in excellent condition . 考虑到做画的年代，这些画要算保存很完好了。
Generally speaking , boys are more interested in football than girls . 一般来说，男孩比女孩对足球更感兴趣。
Judging from his appearance , he must be a very healthy boy . 从外观上判断，他是个非常健康的男孩。
★ 独立主格结构，分词作状语，当其逻辑主语与句子主语不一致时，须在前边加上自己的逻辑主语，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 .
★ 独立主格结构中的 being 通常被省去。如：
Nobody (being) in the room , I didn’t go in .
The meeting over , we went abroad .
★ 表示伴随情况的独立主格有时可用 with 的复合结构替代，如：
He sat there thinking , (his) head (being) on (his )hands (= with his head on his hands) .
