英语八类状语从句的用法归纳
1. 引导原因状语从句的从属连词主要有because, as, since, seeing (that), now (that)等:
They can’t have gone out because the light’s on. 他们不可能出去了,因为灯还亮着。
Since you are going, I will go. 既然你去,我也去。
Now that we are alone, we can speak freely. 现在我们单独在一起,可以随便谈了。
2. 除以上提到的大家比较熟悉的引导原因状语从句的从属连词外,when有时也可引导原因状语从句,其意“既然”。如:
I can’t tell you when you won't listen. 既然你不想听,我就不告诉你了。
3. 有关原因状语从句还应注意以下几点:
(1) as 与 since, now that 一样表示双方都知道的原因,通常位于主句前,且均不可用于强调结构被强调。
(2) 当表示直接的因果关系,回答 why 时,或有 only, just, all, partly, not, but 等副词修饰时,或用在强调结构中都只能用 because。
(3) for 有时也可引出表示原因的分句,但它只能位于后面,对前一分句加以解释或推断。
(4) 不要受汉语意思影响将表示“因为”的连词与表示“所以”的 so 连用。
六、地点状语从句
引导地点状语从句的从属连词主要有where (在…的地方), wherever(无论什么地方), everywhere(每个…地方), anywhere(任何…地方)。如:
I’m not living where I was. 我不在原处住了。
You can’t camp where [wherever, anywhere] you like these days. 如今你可不能随便在哪儿宿营。
Everywhere I go, I find the same thing. 不管我走到哪里,我都发现同样情况。
2. 有的同学认为地点状语从句在平时见得不多,误认为考试不会涉及,但恰恰相反,地点状语从句却是英语考试经常考查的一个知识点。请看以下考题:
(1) When you read the book, you’d better make a mark _____ you have any questions.
A. at which B. at where C. the place where D. where
(2) After the war, a new school building was put up _____ there had once been a theatre.
A. that B. where C. which D. when
(3) You should make it a rule to leave things _____ you can find them again.
A. when B. where C. then D. there
(4) She found her calculator ______ she lost it.
A. where B. when C. in which D. that
以上四题均选where,其意为“在…的地方”,用以引导地点状语从句。
