  状语从句
  1. 状语从句中以下四种从句考得较多,这里给予简单介绍。

  1) 时间状语从句
  时间状语从句主要由以下连词引导: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.
  He didn’t go to sleep until he finished doing his homework.
  You have changed a lot since we met last time.
  时间状语从句还可由某些可充当连词的名词(the moment, the instant, every time,等)和副词(instantly, directly等)引导:
  I will tell you the news the instant I know.
  Directly the teacher came in everyone was quiet.

  Note:
  ① before除了可表示 “在…之前”外,还可用来强调主句所表达的时间、距离很长或花费的力量相比较大,可译为“…才”。(not … before可用来强调主句所表达的时间、距离很短或花费的力量相比较小,可译为“…就”)。
  It was a long time before I got to sleep again.
  They had not been married a month before they quarreled.

  ② 如果位于when引导的分句之前的主句使用过去进行时、过去完成时或was/were about to, was/were on the point of等结构时,when表示突然发生某事,可译为“正在…突然”或“刚…就”等。这时,不能够用as或while来代替when。
  I was walking on the street when I ran into my old friend John.
  She had just fallen asleep when the telephone rang.
  We were about to leave when it began to rain.
