1) 時間狀語從句
時間狀語從句主要由以下連詞引導(dǎo):when, whenever, as, while, since, until, till, before, after, as soon as, once, hardly (scarcely) …when, no sooner …than。
I will discuss the matter with you when we meet tomorrow.
時間狀語從句還可由某些可充當(dāng)連詞的名詞(the moment, the instant, every time,等)和副詞(instantly, directly等)引導(dǎo):
I will tell you the news the instant I know.
Note:
①before除了可表示“在…之前”外,還可用來強調(diào)主句所表達的時間、距離很長或花費的力量相比較大,可譯為“…才”。(“not …before”可用來強調(diào)主句所表達的時間、距離很短或花費的力量相比較小,可譯為“…就”)。
It was a long time before I got to sleep again.
②如果位于when引導(dǎo)的分句之前的主句使用過去進行時、過去完成時或“was/were about to, was/were on the point of”等結(jié)構(gòu)時,when表示突然發(fā)生某事,可譯為“正在…突然”或“剛…就”等。這時,不能夠用as或while來代替when。
I was walking on the street when I ran into my old friend John.
2) 條件狀語從句
條件狀語從句主要由以下連詞引導(dǎo):if, unless, providing/provided (that), suppose/supposing (that), on condition (that), as/so long as, in case等。

3) 讓步狀語從句
讓步狀語從句主要由以下連詞引導(dǎo):though, although, even if, even though, whatever, however, whoever, wherever, no matter how/ what/ where/ when等。以下介紹幾種較特殊的讓步狀語從句。

Child as he was, he could speak four languages.
