While John was watching TV, his wife was coo
3、king. 比。as 意为“一边一边” 。As 引导的动作是延续性的，发生时间较短，一般用于主句和从句动作同时发生；as 也可以强调一前一后。The writer was angry as he was travelling on a train to London because someone had invaded his “space”.He smiled as he stood up. after 意为“在之后” 。表示主句动作发生在从句动作之后。主句与从句的动作时间关系与 before 引导的从句相反。With many hungry visitors waiting, dont
4、stay too long at your table after you have finished.If an early exit is necessary, you can leave after a scene is over. before 意为“在之前” 。引导的从句不用否定形式的谓语，并且当 before 引导的从句位于主句之后，有时译成“就，才” 。当主句用将来时，从句总是用现在时；如果 before 引导的从句谓语用的是过去时，则主句动词多用过去完成时，这样以便体现动作的先后。You cant watch TV before you finish your homework
5、.Before it ended, the theatre was almost empty. My father had left for Canada just before the letter arrived.till 意为“直到” 。一般情况下可以和 until 互换。如果主句中的谓语动词是瞬时动词时，必须用否定形She didnt even know that it was an earthquake till she saw a shaking ( moving from side to side) light.式；如果主句中的谓语动词是延续性动词时，用肯定和否定形式都可以，但表

21、8. 比较状语从句引导词 用法 示例asas. 意为“和一样” 。表示同级的比较。使用时要注意第一个 as 为副词，第二个 as 为连词。其基本结构为：as+adj./adv.原级+as。若有修饰成分，如twice, three times, half, a quarter 等，则须置于第一个 as 之前。She is very good at painting. She can paint as well as here teacher.I ran out as quickly as possible. not as / soas意为“和不一样，不如”。也表示同级比较。She is not

23、两者的意义和用法相同，引出的状语从句谓语多用虚拟语气，表示与事实相反，有时也用陈述语气，表示所说情况是事实或实现的可能性较大。常译作“仿佛似的，好像似的” 。If would never forget here smile, or the way her eyes shone as if we were the same age. It looks as if the weather may pick up very soon. 练习一一. 单项填空1. _ hes old, he can still carry this heavy bag.A. Though B. Since C. For
