连词和状语从句 一、连词 1.并列连词 (1)表示联合关系的并列连词:and(和),both...and...(既……又……),neither...nor (既不……也不……)。 Neither I nor he has seen the film. (2)表示转折关系的并列连词:but,while(而,然而),whereas(而),nevertheless。 He is short,while his brother is tall. (3)表示选择关系的并列连词:or(或),or else(否则),otherwise(要不然),either...or...(或……或……)。 You can either stay at home or go fishing. (4)表示因果关系的并列连词:so(所以),for(因为)。 It is morning,for the birds are singing. 注意:then(那么,因而),thus(因而),therefore(因此,所以)等副词常可放在句首表示因果关系。 He was busy,therefore he could not come. 2.从属连词 (1)引导名词性从句的从属连词 引导名词性从句的从属连词有连接词that,whether和if,这些连接词在句中不充当任何句子成分;连接代词主要有:who,whom,whose,which,what等,它们在句中可作主语、宾语、定语等;连接副词主要有:when,where,how,why等,它们在句中可作状语。 We know (that) the earth goes round the sun. What we need is more time. That's what I want. (2)引导状语从句的从属连词 在句中作状语的从句叫状语从句,也叫副词性从句。它修饰谓语、非谓语动词、状语或整个句子。状语从句由从属连词引导,可表示时间、地点、条件、原因、结果、目的、让步、比较、方式等。 二、状语从句 1.时间状语从句 (1)before引导的从句中不用否定式谓语。常用如下句型: It is long before...(过了好久才……) It is not long before...(过了不久就……) 2.原因状语从句 在表示原因时,because语气最重,其次是as,since,now that,故在回答why问句或者在强调句对原因进行强调时,只能用because。for是并列连词,表示推测的理由或者进一步说明,不能放在句首,for前要用逗号。 —Why were you absent? —Because I was ill. 3.目的状语从句 (1)so that/in order that引导的目的状语从句中的谓语动词多用can/could/may/might/will/would+动词。 Please turn off the light so that I can go to sleep. (2)for fear that,in case,lest表示“以防,免得”。 He is working hard for fear that he should fail. 4.条件状语从句 (1)providing/provided (that)假如,假若 Providing (that) no one has further questions,the meeting will be over. (2)on the understanding that=on condition that在……条件下 I give you money on the understanding that you finish your homework. 5.结果状语从句 注意such引导的结果状语从句与定语从句的区别。 试比较: This is such an interesting book that everyone likes to read it. This is such an interesting book as everyone likes to read. 6.目的状语从句与结果状语从句的区别 in order that可放在句首,只能引导目的状语从句;so that引导目的或结果状语从句,不能放在句首。 试比较: He spoke so slowly that we all followed him.(结果状语从句)=He spoke slowly,so we all followed him. He spoke slowly so (in order) that we could all understand him.(目的状语从句) 7.让步状语从句 (1)as引导让步状语从句,作“尽管”解,用倒装句,语序为:状语/宾语/表语/动词原形+as+主语+谓语……。如果句首是单数可数名词作表语,名词前无冠词。 Clever as you may be,you can't do that. Clever boy as he is,he can't solve the problem. (2)since后面所用动词不同,该动词所表示动作持续时间的计算方法也不同。 |
