时间状语从句
常用引导词：when, while, as, as soon as, before, after, till/until, since
1、when, while, as
（1）三者均可表示“当……时候”，如果主句表示的是短暂的动作，而从句表示的是一段时间，三者可通用。如：
I met Kang Li while/when/as I was walking along the street．当我沿街散步时碰见了康丽。 Don’t make any noise while/when/as I am recording. 我录音时（你们）别发出声音。
（2）while
1）while只能与持续性动词连用，且常用进行时态。表示主句的行为在从句行为进行的过程中发
生。如：
While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died. 他们中的很多人在横渡大西洋时丧生了。 2）表示主句和从句的动作同时发生。如：
While the wife was cooking, the husband was watching TV. 妻子在做饭的时候，丈夫在看电视。 3）表示“然而”，主句和从句是两个对应的动作。如：
Lucy likes dancing while Lily likes doing sports. 露西喜欢跳舞而莉莉喜欢运动。
（3）when
1）when既可以和持续性动作连用，也可以和瞬间性动作连用，主句与从句描述的动作既可以同
时发生，也可以先后发生。如：
When the weather is fine, many people go out for a walk. 天气好时，很多人都出去散步。 When I got home, I found my baby girl singing in the sitting room. 我到家时，发现我的小女儿正在
客厅里唱歌。
2）表示“某人正在做某事，突然……”，主句用过去进行时，从句用一般过去时，表示一个动作
正在进行的时候，另一个动作（突然）发生了，强调后一动作发生的突然性。如：
膀。
（4）as
as与when用法相似，但着重强调主句动作与从句动作同时发生，有“随着……”或“一边……We were talking when the teacher came in. 我们正在讲话，老师（突然）进来了。 试比较：
While we were talking, the teacher came in. 我们正在讲话的时候，老师进来了。（不强调突然性。） 3）表示“某人正要做某事，就在这时……”，主句用过去将来时，从句用一般过去时。如： I was leaving when somebody touched my shoulder. 我正要离开，就在此时有人碰了一下我的肩
一边……”之意。如：
