狀語從句
時間狀語從句
編輯when, as, while
編輯when引出的時間狀語從句，其中的動詞既可以是延續性動作的動詞，也可以是瞬間性動作的動詞，而且可以表示主語的動作和從句的動作同時發生，或者從句的動作發生在主句的動作之前。
e.g.
When you apply for a job, you must present your credentials.
When the students heard the teacher's footsteps, they all stopped talking.
when還可以表示just then(正在那時，突然)的意思，此時其所引導的從句只放在主句之後。
e.g.

as引出的時間狀語從句，其動作是延續性的，而且側重表示主句和從句的動作同時發生.
e.g.
As the students walked to their dormitories,they sang happily.
while表示"在某一段時間裏"或"在...期間"，其所引出的從句的動作是延續性的，且側重表示主句和從句的動作同時發生。
e.g.
While the teacher paraphrased the text in English,the students listened attentively and took notes.
while還可用作並列連詞，相當於whereas，連接一個表示對比的並列分句。
e.g.
Mary was dressed in blue while Jane was dressed in red.
whenever,every time,each time任何時候;每當
編輯e.g.
Whenever I met her,she was studying.

before(在...之前),after(在...之後)
編輯before引導的從句一般表示主句的動作發生在從句動作之前，如從句是過去時,主句一般用過去完成時.

till,until
編輯until比較正式，可用於句首，而till一般不用於句首.till和until所表示的意義相同，但要注意以下情況:
如主句的謂語動詞是延續性動詞，就常用肯定式表示"直到...為止"
e.g.
He will remain in college until(till) he finishes his Ph.D course.
如主句的謂語動詞是非延續性動詞，就常用否定式表示"直到...才"或"在...之前（不）".此時的till和still可用before替換，意義差別不大。
e.g.
I won't go with you until(till) I finish my homework.
as soon as,immediately,directly,once,the minute/moment (that) etc.
編輯as soon as,immediately,directly,once,the minute/moment (that)等引導的從句都表示從句的動作一發生，主句的動作隨即就發生，常譯為"一...就...".
