状语从句的分类:
时间状语从句
凡是从句都必须有引导词,引导时间状语从句的词有when,before,after,until,as soon as,while 等。
条件状语从句
主要看一下由if引导的条件状语从句。if 意为“如果”,引导条件状语从句时,表示假如有从句的动作发生就(不)会有主句的动作发生。
例如:
If it doesn't rain tomorrow,we will go there by bike.如果明天不下雨,我们就骑自行车去那里。
If I get there early,I can see the doctor quickly.如果我早早地到那里,我就可以快点看病。
地点状语从句用法要点
常用where(哪里)和wherever(无论哪里)eg.
Where there is a will,there is a way. 有志者,事竟成。
We will go wherever the motherland need us most. 我们要到祖国最需要的地方去。
原因状语从句用法要点
常用的引导连词有because,as和since,三者的区别是:在回答问题的时候,使用because;对于显而易见的原因,常用as或since;as和since的从句常放在主句之前,而because的从句常放在主句之后。eg.
Why did you go? I went because Tom told me to go. 你为何去?那是因为汤姆叫我去。
He was angry not because we were late but because we made a noise.
他很生气不是因为我们来迟了,而是因为我们弄出了声音。

Since you feel ill,you'd better not go to work. 既然你感觉不舒服,你最好不要去上班了。
目的状语从句用法要点
常用的引导连词有so that,that和in order that译为:以便,为了,目的是。eg.
