时间状语从句
1.when,while和as
when引导的从句的谓语动词既可是一个持续性动词,也可是非持续性动词;while引导的从句的谓语动词必须是持续性的,侧重主句动作和从句动作相对比;as引导的从句的谓语动词可以是持续性动词,也可以是非持续性动词,有“随着”之意,多用于主从句动作同时发生。

______ time goes on, it’s getting warmer and warmer.
2.as soon as,immediately,directly,the moment,the minute,no sooner...than,hardly/scarcely...when,once等引导的从句都
示从句的动作一发生,主句的动作随即就发生,常译为“一……就……”。

3.till,until和not(...)until
till,until引导时间状语从句时,主句的谓语动词必须是延续性动词,主从句都为肯定式,意为“某动作一直延续到某一时间才停止”。not(...)until引导时间状语从句时,主句的谓语动词必须是非延续性动词,从句为肯定式,意为“直到……才……”。not(...)until还可以用于强调句和倒装句。

He won’t go to bed ________ she returns.
It was not until you told me _____ I had any idea of it
4.before和since
若表达“没过……就,过了……才”之意时,须用连词before,句式为“It was/will be+时间段+before...”;it won’t be a long time before; since意为“自从……”,句式为“It is/has been+时间段+since...” 主句现在完成时+since从句一般过去式。
