8.方式状语从句
由下列连词引导:as,as if,as though,the way等。
Do it the way you were told.
注意以下几点:
①as引导方式状语从句时意义为“按照”,“如同”,前面常用加强语势。
I did it just as you told me.
②as if和as though 引导的从句中,谓语常用虚拟语气,有时也用陈述语气。
③连词while 和whereas 可表示对比。
Whereas he is rather lazy,she is quite energetic.
9.比较状语从句
由下列连词引导:as…as,not as…as,not so…as,than等(详情请参见【专题三】形容词和副词)。
10.注意状语从句中的省略现象
①连接词+过去分词
Unless repaired, the washing machine is no use.
②连词+现在分词
Look out while crossing the street.
③连词+形容词/其他
常见的有if necessary、if possible、when necessary、if any等。
④比较状语从句中的省略句。如:He arrived home half an hour earlier than (he had been)expected.
III.名词性从句
在句子中起名词作用的句子叫名词性从句 (Noun Clauses)。 名词性从句的功能相当于名词词组, 它在复合句中能担任主语、宾语、表语、同位语、介词宾语等,因此根据它在句中不同的语法功能,名词性从句又可分别称为主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。
引导名词性从句的连词可分为三类:
①that(不充当从句的任何成分,无词义。只起连接作用,因此往往可以省略。)
whether, if(不充当从句的任何成分,均表示“是否”表明从句内容的不确定性。不可以省略。)
as if,as though(均表示“好像”,“似乎”)
②what, whatever, who, whoever, whom, whose, which
③when, where, how, why
Who cleaned the blackboard is not known yet.谁擦的黑板还不知道。
What he said is not true.他说的不是实话
That he’ll come to see us is really great.他来看我们真是太好啦。
I don’t know why he is absent.我不知道为什么他不在。
