在上文中,我们讲解了1个自从,2个直到,3个当…时,今天我们来看看其余的引导时间状语从句的连词。
4) 4类“一…就…”
首先尝试翻译以下句子:我一到家天就开始下雨。大多数人的第一反应是 It began to rain as soon as I arrived home.
其实,除了我们最熟悉的as soon as, 3个”ly”和4个”the+n.”也可以直接放到上句中的相同位置,为什么呢?
①It began to rain immediately I arrived home. (主过从过)
immediately, directly,instantly本意为立即,立刻。我到家,天立刻开始下雨。也就是一到家就开始下雨。
②It began to rain the instant I arrived home. (主过从过)
the+minute/ second/moment/ instant本意为在那一分那一秒那一刻。在我到家的那一分那一秒那一刻,天开始下雨。也就是一到家就开始下雨。
注意: 2个倒装,主句用过去完成时,从句用一般过去时。注意跟前文英语时态难点2:一般过去时10大必背句型(10=1+2+3+4)中2个倒装的对照学习。
至于时态为什么不像其余三类“一…就…”一样用主过从过,具体原因可点击扩展资料回顾前文《时态难点4:过去完成时6个必背句式》
Hardly had I arrived home when it began to rain.
No sooner had I arrived home when it began to rain.
5) 5个“time”,time多为“次”意,个别也有“时”意,注意例句中主从句的时态。
① The first time I met her, I fell in love with her. (主过从过)
第一次见到她时,我就爱上了她。
② Every/Each time I meet her, I fall in love again. (主现从现)
每次见到她时,我都如再次坠入爱河。
③ Next time I meet her, I will love her more. (主将从现)
下次我见到她时,我将更爱她。
④ Last time I met her, she was only 18. (主过从过)
上次我见她时,她才18岁。
⑤ By the time I met her again, she had been married. (主句过去完成,从句一般过去)
到我再次遇见她时,她已经结婚了。(她结婚发生在我遇见她之前,过去的过去,所以用过去完成)
6) before, after既可作连词,又可作介词
① He became a teacher after he graduated(连词加句子)=after his graduation(介词加名词)
在毕业后他当了老师。
② It wasn't long before we met again. (主过从过)
没过多久我们就再次见面了。(我们已经见面了,这段时间已经过去了,所以都用过去时)
③ It won't be long before we meet again. (主将从现)
用不了多久我们将再次见面。(我们的下次见面还未发生,这段时间还没过去,所以用主将从现)
