2021军队职称英语考试指导：重点语法辅导解析

状语从句指句子用作状语时，起副词作用的句子。它可以修饰谓语、非谓语动词、定语、状语或整个句子。
根据其作用可分为时间、地点、原因、条件、目的、结果、让步、方式和比较等从句。状语从句一般由连词(从属连词)引导，也可以由词组引起。从句位于句首或句中时通常用逗号与主句隔开，位于句尾时可以不用逗号隔开。
让步状语从句
(1)although与though可以引导让步状语从句，不能与but连用，但可以与yet连用。
Although they are poor，(yet)they are warm-hearted.
(2)even if或even though引导让步状语从句，表示“即使”，““纵然”，用来使人注意下文所强调内容的性质。
I‘ll get there even if(though)I have to sell my house to get enough money to go by air.
(3)no matter后接上who、what、where、how等疑问词，也可以在这类疑问词后面加上ever构成whoever、whatever、wherever、however等。
Don’t trust him，no matter what/whatever he says.

(4)as也可以引导让步状语从句，要用倒装。

时间状语从句
(1)as、when、while
as表示“当……的时候”，往往和when/while通用，但它着重强调主句与从句的动作或事情同时或几乎同时发生。

The runners started as the gun went off.(几乎同时)
when：(at or during the time that)既可以表示在某一点的时候，又可表示在某一段时间内，主句与从句的动作或事情可以同时发生也可以先后发生。

When we were at school，we went to the library every day.(在一段时间内)
while意思是“当……的时候”或“在某一段时间里”。主句中的动作或事情在从句中的动作或事情的进展过程中发生，从句中的动词一般要用延续性动词。在when表示a period of time时，两者可以互换。
Please don’t talk so loud while others are working.
He fell asleep while/when reading.Strike while the iron is hot.(用as或when不可，这里的while意思是“趁……”)
