状语从句的时态特点

涉及状语从句的几种特定时态

1. “主将从现”原则
即若主 句为一般将来时，时间和条件状语从句通常要用一般现在时表示将来，而不能直
接使用将来时态。如：
I’ll give her the telex when she comes. 她来时把电传交给她。
I’ll return the book as soon as I have read it. 这书一看完我就送还。
He’ll have four years at university after he leaves school. 他中学毕业后要上四年大
学。
2. since与完成时
since 引导时间状语从句时，其主句通常要用现在完成时，有时也用现在完成进行时。
如：
She has had another baby since I saw her last. 从上次我见到她以来，她又生了一个
孩子。
He has grown an inch since I saw him. 我上次见到他以后他已长高了一英寸。
注：当主句为“It + be + 一段时间”时，则通常用一般现在时代替现在完成时。如：
It’s more than three years now since I saw her last. 我们已有三年多没见面了。
3. 特定句式的时态
由no sooner. . . than, hardly [ scarcely]…when引出的时间状语从句，其主句通常用过
去完成时，从句通常用一般过去时 。如：
Hardly had he arrived when she started complaining. 他刚到她就抱怨起来。
No sooner had he gone to sleep than the telephone rang. 他刚睡着电话铃就响了。
We had no sooner set out than a thunderstorm broke. 我们刚出发就下起一阵雷暴。
No sooner had she agreed to marry him than she started to have terrible doubts. 她
刚同意嫁给他她就开始产生可怕的疑虑。

状语从句的时态特点
一般情况下，时间和条件状语从句的谓语动词一般用“ 一般现在时”表示
“一般将来时”，用“现在完成时”表示“将来完成时”。例如：
I will call you as soon as I arrive in Beijing. 我一到北京就给
你打电话。（这是由as soon as引导的时间状语从句，从句中的谓语动词arrive是一般现在时，表示一般将来时，决不可用will arrive）
As soon as I have finished this work, I will go home. 我一完成
此工作，就回家。（从句中的谓语动词用现在完成时have finished，表示
将来完成时,决不可用will have finished）
If he comes back, please let me know.如果他回来了，请通知我。（从
句中的谓语动词用comes back,表示一般将来时，决不可用will come back）
状语从句讲解和练习
状语修饰动词、形容词、副词或整个句子。通常由副词、介词短语、动
词不定式、分词和从 句等担当。例如：
1. Naturally , our grandparents were pleased to get our phone call .
(副词)
2. We worked hard , from sunrise to sunset . (介词状短语)
3. To help my disabled aunt , I spend an hour working in her house
every day . (不定式)
4. Seen from a distance , the farmhouse looked deserted . (过去
分词)
5. I know how to light a camp fire because I had done it before .

（原因状语从句）
状语的位置比较灵活，可以位 于句首、句末或句中。enough用作状语修
饰形容词和副词时必须后置。
状语从句主 要用来修饰主句或主句的谓语。一般可分为九大类，分别表
示时间、地点、原因、目的、结果、条件、让 步、比较和方式。尽管种类较
多，但由于状语从句与汉语结构和用法相似，所以理解和掌握它并不难。状
语从句的关键是要掌握引导不同状语从句的常用连接词
和特殊的连接词即考点。现分别列举如下:

10. 状语从句的简化
?状语从句的省略
状语从句同时具备下列两个条件:①主句和从句的主语一致，或从句主语

为 it；②从句主要动词是be的某种形式。从句中的主语和be动词常可省略。
例如：
When ( the museum is ) completed , the museum will be open to the
public next year .
He’ll go to the seaside for his holiday if (it is ) possible.
另外，比较状语从句经常省略。例如：
I’m taller than he (is tall ).
The higher the temperature (is), the greater the pressure (is ).
就状语从句而言,有时为了使语言言简意赅,常常将状语从句进行简化
。状语从句的简化现 象在口语中较为普遍,而且在高考中的复现率也较高。
因此,有必要对其进行全面、透彻的了解。
状语从句的简化现象常存在于以下五种状语从句中:①由if, unless
等引导的条件状语从句;②由although, though, even if though等引导
的让步状语从句;③由when, while, as, before, after, until till等
引导的时间状语从句;④由as, as if等引导的方式状语从句;⑤由as, than
等引导的比较状语从句。下面针对这五种情形作一归纳。
(1)当状语从句的主语是it,且谓语动词是be时,it和be要完全简化掉。
例如:
If (it is) possible, he will help you out of the difficulty.如
果可能的话,他会帮你摆脱困境。
You must attend the meeting unless (it is) inconvenient to you.
除非情况对你来说不方便,否则你必须出席这次会议。

(2)当 状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致时,从句可以将主语和be动词
简化掉。常用于以下几种情形:
a.连词+形容词
As (he was) young, he learned how to ride a bike.他小时候就学会
了骑自行车。
Whenever (she is) free, she often goes shopping.她有空就去逛商
店。
Work hard when (you are) young, or you'll regret.少壮不努力,老
大徒伤悲。
b.连词+名词
While (he was) a young boy, he was always ready to help others.
他在孩提时代就乐于助人。
Although (he was) a farmer, now he is a famous director.尽管他
曾是个农民,而现在是位著名的导演了。
c.连词+现在分词
As (she was) walking along the river bank, she was singing a pop
song.她沿着河堤边走边唱着流行歌曲。
Although (he is) doing his best in maths these days, he has still
got no good marks.尽管近来他一直在学数学,但他仍然没有取得好成绩。
d.连词+过去分词
He won't go there with us unless (he is) invited.除非受到邀请,
否则他不会和我们一道去那里。

The concert was a great success than (it was) expected.这场音乐
会出乎意料地取得了巨大成功。
e.连词+不定式
He stood up as if (he were) to say something.当时他站起来好像要
说什么。He wouldn't solve the problem even if (he were) to take charge.
即使他来负责,他也解决不了这个问题。
f. 连词+介词短语

急,好像遇到了麻烦。

他到美国之前就懂英语了。
注意:当从句主语和主句主语不一致时,从句部分要么用完全形式,要么
用独立主格结构来表达。例如:
When the meeting was over, all the people went out of the
meeting-room.当会议结束时,人们都走出了会议室。
