在新目標八年級英語下冊中,我們發現until、 so that 、although 和afraid四個表達經常出現,而且是重要的考點內容,因此,陳老師在這裡作一個總結並和大家分享。喜歡的朋友可以保存轉發和評論!
1.until的用法:在帶有till或until引導的時間狀語從句裡,如果主句用肯定式,其含義是「一直到……時」,謂語動詞只能用延續性動詞。如果主句用否定式,即not.....until.... ,其含義是「直到……才……」, 「在……以前不……」,謂語動詞可用瞬間動詞。
The young man read till the light went out last night.
那年輕人昨晚上看書到燈熄
Let’s wait until the rain stops.
讓我們等到雨停。
I』ll work until my mom tells to stop.
我全一直工作到媽媽叫我停下來為止。
They didn’t go to bed until the work was finished.
他們直到完成工作才去睡覺。
We won’t start until Bob comes.
我們要等到Bob來了再開始。
Don’t get off until the bus stops.
要等車停了才下車。
2.so that引導目的狀語從句表示「為了......,以便......」。一般放在主句後,且不用逗號隔開,目的狀語從句常表示動機,因此從句中學帶有can,could,would,should等情態動詞。
We started early so that we could catch the first train.
我們出發很早以便趕上首趟火車。
He studies hard so that he could work better in the future.
他學習很努力為的是將來能有更好的工作。
He runs every morning so that he can keep healthy.
為了保持健康,他每天早晨跑步。
當so that從句的主語和主句的主語一致時,so that可用to do,in order to或in order that替換。
We started early to catch the first train.
我們出發很早去趕首趟火車。
He studies hard to work better in the future.
他為了將來能有更好的工作學習很努力。
In order to catch the first train,We started early in the morning.
為了趕上首趟火車我們很早就出發了。
He studies hard in order to work better in the future.
為了將來能有更好的工作他學習很努力。
We started early in order that we could catch the first train.
我們出發很早以便趕上首趟火車。
He studies hard in order that he could work better in the future.
他學習很努力為的是將來能有更好的工作。
3.although的用法:although意思相當於though(儘管,雖然),用來引導讓步狀語從句。它所引導的從句不能與並列連詞but,and, so等連用。although引導讓步狀語從句,常放在主句前面,並用逗號隔開,也可以直接放在主句後面。
Although the book was old, we decided to buy it.
儘管這本書很舊,我們還是決定買。
He went on working although he was tired.
雖然累了但他堅持工作。
Although I was ill yesterday,I went to school.
昨天儘管我生病,但我還是去上學了。
4.afraid 的用法:afraid基本意思是"懼怕,害怕,不敢",有三種用法:
1)be afraid of ......害怕......
Don't be afraid of the dog. 別害怕那隻狗。
be afraid of doing something.害怕做某事
I don't like dogs. I'm always afraid of being bitten.我不喜歡狗。我經常害怕被狗咬。
2)與動詞不定式連用, be afraid to do something.不敢/害怕做某事
A lot of people are afraid to go out at night. 許多人不敢晚上出去。
3)在給某人不愉快的信息時,通常用I'm afraid,後接從句。
I'm afraid I have some rather bad news for you.
恐怕我給你帶來了壞消息。
I'm afraid he is not the person you are looking for.
恐怕他不是你找的人。
