  ■when 的用法。表示“当……时候”。如:

  The house shook when the trains went by. 火车经过时房子会震动。

  When she saw this,she turned red. 她看到这时脸红了。

  I played football every day when I was a boy. 我小时候天天踢足球。

  ■while 的用法。表示“当……时候”。如:

  I’ll take care of him while you are away. 你不在时我照顾他。

  I met Diana while I Was shopping this morning. 我今早买东西时碰到了戴安娜。

  While I was waiting for the bus I dropped my purse. 我等公共汽车时把钱包丢了。

  注意:while 所引导的时间状语从句中谓语动词必须是持续性的,不能是短暂性的。

  ■as 的用法。表示“当……时候”。如:

  He dropped the glass as he stood up. 他站起来时,把杯子摔了。

  The phone rang just as I was leaving. 我正要离开,电话铃就响了起来。

  ■before 的用法。表示“在……之前”。如:

  I hadn’t waited long before she came. 我没等多久她就来了。

  It was a long time before I got to sleep again. 好久我才又睡着。

  I must finish this letter before I go home. 我必须在回家以前写完这封信。

  ■after 的用法。表示“在之后”:

  She left after they arrived. 她在他们到达后走了。

  I told them after you (had) left. 你走后我把这事告诉了他们。

  ■until / till 的用法。表示“直到…”:

  He waited till [until] I returned. 他一直等到我回来。

  Walk till [until] you come to a white house. 走下去,一直走到一座白房子为止。

  这类句型的主句动词通常只能是延续性动词,不能是终止性动词。但在否定句中,则主句动词可以是终止性动词,此时构成not…until [till]…句式,意为“直到……才”。如:

  He didn’t leave until [till] I came. 直到我来他才走(来自 www.zkenglish.com)。

  You cannot leave until your work is finished. 在你的工作没完成以前你不能离开。

  在否定句中,主句谓语为延续性动词和终止性动词均可,注意含义不同:

  He didn’t leave until I came. 直到我来他才走。

  He didn’t wait until I came. 他没有等到我来(即在我来之前就走了)。

  ■since 的用法。表示“自从…”:

  We have known each other since we were children. 我们从小就(相互)认识。

  I haven’t heard from him since he left. 他走之后我还没接到过他的信。

  这类句子的主句通常用现在完成时。

  ■as soon as 的用法。表示“一…就…”:

  Tell him as soon as he arrives. 他一到就告诉他。

  I shall ring you up as soon as I arrive. 我一到就给你打电话。

  I抣l let you know as soon as I hear from her. 我一接到她的信就通知你。

  表示“一…就…”这一意思,除用as soon as外,还可用the moment, the minute等:

  I want to see him the minute [=as soon as] he arrives. 他一到达我就要见他。
