1、定义:在句中用来说明主句原因的句子叫原因状语从句。
2、常用引导词: because (因为), as (由于), since (既然), now (that)
(既然)
3、时态:原因状语从句一般都是根据实际情况选用适当的时态。通常是主过从
过,主现从现。
4、because, since和as的区别:
1) because
引导的原因状语从句一般放于主句的后面,because从句位于句首时
要用逗号分开,放在句末时,可不用逗号分开。because表示直接原因, 语气最强, 最适合回答why引导的疑问句。because of 也表示原因,但它后面不接从句, 只能接名词, 代词或动名词。注意:because 和so 不可同时出现在一个句子里。
① I do it because I like it. = I like it so I do it.
② We went by bus because it was cheaper. = It was cheaper so we went by bus.
③ He can’t go to school because of his illness.
2) since引导的原因状语从句一般放于主句之前表示已知的、 显然的理由(通常
被翻译成“既然”= now that ), 较为正式, 语气比because弱。
① Since you are free today, you had better help me with my mathematics.
② Since you don't trust him, you should not employ him. ③ Now (that) you are grown up, you should not rely on your parents.
3) as 引导原因状语从句时表示附带说明的“双方已知的原因”,含有对比说明的
意味, 语气比since弱, 较为正式, 位置较为灵活(常放于主句之前)。
① As it is raining, you’d better take a taxi. ② As you are tired, you had better rest. ③ I went to bed early, as I was exhausted.
4) for引导的是并列句表示原因但并不说明主句行为发生的直接原因, 只提供一
些辅助性的补充说明, for引导的并列句只能放于主句之后并且必须用逗号将其与主句隔开。
① He could not have seen me, for I was not there. ② He seldom goes out now, for he is very old.

三、目的状语从句:
1、定义:在句中用来作目的状语的句子叫目的状语从句。
2、常用引导词: so that (以便), in order that (以便) 3、时态:目的状语从句一般都是根据实际情况选用适当的时态。也通常是主过
从过,主现从现。
4、目的状语从句应注意以下:
1) 目的状语从句中常含有can, could, may, might, should, will, would等情态动词。
I got up early so that I could catch the first bus. 2) 在口语中so可以引导目的状语从句。
We'll sit nearer the front so we can hear better. 3) in order that与in order to的区别: ① in order that +从句 = so that +从句
② in order to+ 动词原形 = so as to + 动词原形(不放于句首) = to+ 动
词原形
I get up early in order to catch the early bus.
= I get up early in order that I can catch the early bus.
四、结果状语从句:
1、定义:在句中用来作结果状语的句子叫结果状语从句。
2、常用引导词: so … that (如此…以致…), such … that (如此…
以致…)
3、时态:结果状语从句一般都是根据实际情况选用适当的时态。也通常是主过
从过,主现从现。
4、结果状语从句的句型:
结果状语从句的从句部分是补充说明主句中谓语动词发生的结果的,通常位于主句之后。结果从句中通常不用情态助动词,但must, can, could除外。结果状语从句其规律由so与such的不同词性决定。such 是形容词,修饰名词或名词词组,so 是副词,只能修饰形容词或副词。 so 还可与表示数量的形容词many, few, much, little连用,形成固定
搭配。
6.
1) so + 形/ 副+ that从句
① The boy is so young that he can't go to school. ② He speaks so fast that no one can catch him. 2) so + many/few(+复名)+ that从句
There are so many picture-story books that the boy won't leave. 3) so + much/ little(+ 不可数名词)+that从句
He gave me so little time that it was impossible for me to finish
the work on time.
4) so+ 形+ a/an+ 单名+ that从句
It was so hot a day that they wanted to go swimming.
5) such+ a/an+ 形+单名+ that从句= so+ 形+ a/an+单名+ that从句
He is such a young boy that he can't go to school. = He is so young a boy that he can't go to school. 6) such+ 形+ 复名/不可数名词+ that从句
① They are such fine teachers that we all hold them in great
respect.
② It is such nice weather that I would like to go to the beach.
5、结果状语从句与简单句的转换:
1) so… that (从句为肯定句) = … 形/副 + enough + (for sb.) to do sth.
He is so old that he can go to school alone. = He is old enough to go to school alone.
2) so… that (从句为否定句) = … too + 形/副 + (for sb.) to do sth. The problem is so hard that I can’t work it out. = The problem is too hard for me to work out.
= The problem isn’t easy enough for me to work out.
五、让步状语从句
1、定义:在句中用来表示“退一步说……”的句子叫让步状语从句。 2、常用引导词: although (虽然) = though(尽管,即使),no matter+疑
问词=疑问词-ever(无论…),even if = even though(即使),whether... or …(不管是…还是…)等。
3、时态:让步状语从句的时态一般采用主过从过,主将从现的原则。 4、让步状语从句的注意点:
1) although/ though 不可与but连用(二者只选其一),但可与still / yet连用。
① Although / Though he is very old, still he is quite strong. ② Although he was ill , he went to school. = He was ill but he
went to school.
7.
2) no matter + 疑问词 = 疑问词-ever “无论…”(引导让步状语从句可互换)
① Whatever (= No matter what) happened, he would not mind. ② Whoever (= No matter who) you are, you must keep the law. ③ However (=No matter how) expensive it may be, I’ll take it.
注意:“no matter+ 疑问词” 结构只能引导让步状语从句,而 “疑问词-ever” 还
可以引导名词性从句(主语从句,宾语从句,表语从句和同位语从句)。
④ I'll eat whatever (≠no matter what) you give me. (whatever
引导宾语从句)
⑤ Whoever (≠no matter who) comes will be welcome. (whoever
引导主语从句)
六、条件状语从句
1、定义:由引导词if或unless引导的状语从句叫做条件状语从句。
2、常用引导词: if (如果) , unless = if…not (如果不/ 除非) , so/as
long as(只要)
3、时态:条件状语从句的时态常采用主将从现原则。
① I will come to see you if I have time.
② Let's go out for a walk unless you are too tired. = Let's go out for a walk if you are not too tired. ③ You can't learn English well unless you work hard.
= You can't learn English well if you don’t work hard. ④ You may borrow my book as long as you keep it clean.
注意: “祈使句,+ and / or + 简单句”是一个固定句型,这里祈使句
相当于一个由if引导的条件状语从句:用and引导的简单句常表示一个较好的结果,用or引导的简单句常表示一个不愉快或不理想的结果;谓语动词常用一般将来时。即:
① 祈使句,and + 简单句(一般将来时) = If you do sth, you’ll do sth.
(这个句型表示“如果做到了祈使句表示的事情,就会有后面句子表示的结果”。)
Think hard , and you’ll find a way. = If you think hard, you’ll
find a way.
② 祈使句,or +简单句(一般将来时)= If you don’t do sth, you’ll do sth.
(这个句型表示“如果做不到祈使句表示的事情,就会有后面句子表示的结果”。)
Hurry up, or you’ll be late. = If you don’t hurry (up), you’ll be late.
