Unit 4 Growing up
Grammar
时间状语从句：指在复合句中充当时间状语的句子。
A：Using before, after, when and while引导的时间状语从句
一.before and after
1. Before means earlier than a certain time
a. 表示“在…..之前就…..”。
Mary had finished her homework before her mother returned.
b. 表示“过了多久后才… ，动作进行到什么程度才……”
The man almost knocked me down before he saw me .
They walked about 30 miles to the west before they saw a village .
c. 表示“刚…就…”
I had hardly sat down before the bell rang.
d. 表示“不知不觉就…..； 还没弄清就……”
Time passed quickly and three months went by before Tom knew it.
e. 用于句型“it was +时间段+ before …” 表示 “过了多久才…”
It was three days before he came back. .
f. 用于句型“ it was not long +时间段+ before …” 意为“不久就….”
It was a long time before we met again.
过了很久我们才再次见面
g. 用于句型“it will be(not )+时间段+ before….”表示“要过多久/ 不久…才…”
It will be half a year before you graduate from this school .
It will be not long before you find you are wrong .
2. After means later than a certain time
a. after引导的时间状语从句如果具有将来意义，往往要用一般现在时来表示
(有时也用现在完成时)，而不能直接用一般将来时。如：
误：I’ll tell him after you will leave.
正：I’ll tell him after you leave (或have left). 你走了之后我再告诉他。
选择一般现时或现在完成时(表示将来意义)的基本原则是：
如果强调从句动作在主句动作之前完成，则用现在完成时；
如果强调主从句动作同时发生，或几乎同时发生(尤其是当从句的谓语动词是get, arrive, see, hear, leave, return等表示迅速完成的动作的动词时)，
多用一般现在时(有时两种时态都可以)。如；
I’ll leave after he comes back. 他回来后我就离开
c. 一般说来，如果在过去某一时间内先后发生了两个动作,那么
先发生的动作用过去完成时，后发生的动作用一般过去时。
但是若用连词after来连接这两个动作，
由于after本身已说明了两个动作的先后关系，所以两者均可用一般过去时。
After he (had) closed the door, he left the house. 关了门之后，他就离开了家。
d. 有时以连词after引导的时间状语从句可以换成一个以介词after引导介词短语或以连词after引导的分词短语，而意义不变。如：
He went to school after he had breakfast (=after breakfast).
吃了早饭之后，他就去上学了。
I went to sleep after l had finished (=After having finished / After finishing).
我干完活后就去睡觉了。
e. after还可用作副词，意为“后来”或“(一段时间)以后”，
通常要放在另一时间副词之后。
如：We arrived soon (或just / shortly) after. 我们不久就到了。
He returned twenty years after. 20年后他回来了。
when and while
a. when means at or during a certain time 既指时间点，也可指一段时间；
while means during a certain time只指一段时间，
因此when引导的时间状语从句中的动词可以是终止性动词，
也可以是延续性动词，而while从句中的动词必须是延续性动词。
b. when 说明从句的动作和主句的动作可以是同时，也可以是先后发生；
while强调主句的动作在从句动作的发生的过程中或主从句两个动作同时发生。
c.由when引导的时间状语从句,主句用过去进行时，从句应用一般过去时;
如果从句和主句的动作同时发生,两句都用过去进行时的时候,多用while引导
1). When the teacher came in, we were talking.
当此句改变主从句的位置时，则为：While we were talking, the teacher came in.
2). They were singing while we were dancing.
d. when和while 还可作并列连词。when表示“在那时”；
while表示“而，却”，表对照关系。如：
1). The children were running to move the bag of rice
when they heard the sound of a motor bike.
孩子们正要跑过去搬开那袋米，这时他们听到了摩托车的声音。
2). He is strong while his brother is weak.
他长得很结实，而他弟弟却很瘦弱。
B: Using since, till and until
since 译作“自从…以来”
接时间点：如 I have stayed in that country since 1995. 要求：
谓v.用现在完成时，而且须是延续性动词。
(2)接一段时间 + ago：如 They have lived in that house since two years ago. 要求：谓v.用现在完成时，而且须是延续性动词。
(3)接时间状语从句：如 I have loved her since I met her last time.
Lily has stayed at home since she left school. 要求：
主句的谓v.用现在完成时，而且须是延续性动词；
从句的谓v.用一般过去时，而且须是终止性动词。
用于句型“It’s / It has been + 一段时间 + since + 时状语从句”中，
译作“自从…以来, 已经…(时间)了”。如
It’s / has been three months since he moved to this city要求：
主句的谓v.用一般现在时或现在完成时；
从句的谓v.用一般过去时，而且须是终止性动词。
用于句型“一段时间 + has passed since + 时间状语从句”中，
译作“自从…以来, …(时间)已经过去了”。如上个例句还可写成：
Three months has passed since he moved to this city. 要求：
主句的谓v.用现在完成时，而且动词必须是has passed；
从句的谓v.用一般过去时，而且须是终止性动词。
注：当since用于否定句时，主句的谓v.可以是终止性动词。如
He hasn’t seen the film since last month.
(7)相关词组：“从那时起”：ever since、since then、from then on.
注:ever since作为一个词组,放句尾可单独使用 如:
I have given up smoking ever since
另外，还可在since后接句子。since前加ever，只是加重语气而已。如:
I have given up smoking ever since I caught a bad cough.
(8) since还可引导原因状语从句，译作“由于；因为”，相当于because。如:
Since he was lazy, he didn’t finish his homework.
C. How to use till and until
Till and until mean up to a certainly time. Until can be placed at the beginning or in the middle of the sentence, but till is usually used in the middle of the sentence.
用于肯定句作“直到……为止”解时，
主句的动词一般是延续到until / till所表示的时间为止。例如：
1). He waits until / till the children are asleep.他等着直到孩子们睡熟。
2). I shall stay here until / till twelve o'clock. 我将留在这里一直到十二点钟。
b.用于否定句作“在……以前”、“直到才”解时，主句的动词一般是非延续性的，它所表示的动作直到until / till 所表示的时间才发生。例如：
He couldn't ride until / till he was fifteen years old. 他直到十五岁才会骑自行车。
c.用于“not...until...”的句式可以转换成when 或after引导
时间状语从句，但主句必须要用肯定形式。例如：
.They didn't get off until the train came to a complete stop.
=They got off after the train came to a complete stop. 火车停了他们才下车。
. The student won't come into the classroom until the teachers finish their work.
=The students will come into the classroom when the teachers finish their work.
当老师们完成工作时，学生们将走进教室。
d.用于延续性动词的肯定或否定句中，但含义不同。例如：
1). The meeting continued until / till 7:00. 会议一直开到七点。
2). We didn't have the meeting until /till 7:00. 直到七点我们才结束会议。
e. 用于“It is / was not until...that”或含有“not...until...”的强调结构中，
其中的until不能改为till。例如：
1). It was not until the film had begun that he arrived. 直到电影开始他才到。
2). It is not until 8:00 that we begin our class every day. 我们每天八点开始上课。
f. Not until放在句首时，句子要倒装，其中的until不能改为till 。例如：
1). Not until the last moment did he change his mind.直到最后一刻才改变主意。
2). Not until midnight did it stop raining. 直到午夜雨才停。
e.g.句首通常只用until,不用till。例如：
1). Until then, I knew nothing at all about it. 在那之前，我对此事一无所知。
2). Until you told me I had no idea of it. 在你告诉我之前，我对此一无所知。
h.某些固定词组或谚语中通常只用till。例如：
1). From morning till night 从早到晚。
2). Up till now直到现在
D. Using as soon as and whenever
1.How to use as soon as
As soon as means when something happens, or a short time after something has happened.
as soon as 的用法一般是两种情况：
指未发生的动作，规律是：
主句一般将来时，从句用一般现在时代替一般将来时
如： I will tell him the news as soon as he comes back。
注：有时时,为了特意表达刚刚完成某事就如何如何,需要用现在完成时。
如：I will go with you as soon as I have washed my face.
指紧接着发生的两个短动作，主从句都用一般过去时
如：He took out his English books as soon as he sat down.
不过，我也见过从句和主句都用一般现在时的情况。
如：As soon as he finishes his class work, he runs out of the class.
他一做完课堂作业，就跑出了教室。
2. How to use whenever Whenever means at any time
whenever的用法一般是两种情况:
1). 每当
