while, until, not…until, before, after, since,
the minute, the moment, each( every, next,
the first) time等。时间状语从句中一般用
一般现在时或一般过去时。
1． When , while, as都可解释为“当```
的时候”但侧重点有所不同。
1) When
Eg: When I arrived home , I had a little
rest.
注意点：
when 从句的主语与主句主语相同，谓语
动词是be 动词时，从句主语和be可以
省略。

street, she met her class teacher.
2) As

As 除了表示“当```的时候”，还可表示
为“一面```一面”，“随着”
Eg: He sang as he danced.(一面```一面)
You will grow wiser as you grow
older.(随着)
3) While表示“当` ``的时候”强调主句的
动作和从句的动作同时发生，从句一
般用进行时，从句动词必须是延续 性
动词。
Eg: While we were working, they were
having a rest.
While (they were) having a discussion,
they got very confused.
注意点：
while 有对比的含义，解释为“然而”。
eg: I prefer black tee, while he likes
coffee.
2． until, not… until表示“直到```才”,
在肯定句中主句常用延续性动词；在
否定句中主句常用短暂 性动词。
