专题六 状语从句
◆时间状语从句的考查要点
1.before引导的从句中不用否定式谓语。常用如下句型:
It will be long before...(得过好久才……)
It will not be long before...(过不了多久就……)
It was long before... (过了好久才……)
It was not long before... (过了不久就……)
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。
It is two years since he joined the army.他参军两年了。
It is two years since he smoked.他戒烟两年了。
3.as,when,while用法一览表。
