[重点归纳]
在英语中,经常会用一些表示时间的名词短语引导时间状语从句,这些名词从语法意义上,已经充当连词来引导从句,常见到名词短语有:
1. the moment, the minute,the instant,the second等,这类名词短语由定冠词the+表示时间单位的名词构成含义上表示“一……就……”,相当于as soonas. 如:
He said he’d turn on the TV the moment he got back home.
Tell him the news the minute you see him.
2. next time,the first time,last time,every time等,这类名词短语直接用作引导时间状语从句,含义与自身名词的含义相同。如:
Be sure to call on us next time you come to our city
He fell in love with her the first time he met that beautiful girl
Every time I see him he wears a pleasant smile.
3. by the time 也可以引导时间状语从句,意为“到……时为止”,主句一般用完成时态。如:
By the time he was fourteen,Einstein had learned advanced mathematics all by himself(从句一般为过去时,主句要用过去完成时)
I shall hae gne to ced by the time you reyurn.(从句为一般现在时,主句要用将来完成时)
【注意】含有time 的几种常见句式:
1. It/This is the +序数词+time(that)…that从句通常用现在完成时。如:
It is the second time (that.)I have visited the Great Wall
2It /This was the +序数词+time (that)…,that 从句通常用过去完成时。如:
It was the first time (that)I had heard of it.
