英语结果状语从句的时态转换和省略注意点
结果状语从句是复合句中表示主句动作结果的从句,通常由 so…that, such…that 以及 enough to等结构引导。以下是关于结果状语从句的详细介绍:
1. 引导词
结果状语从句的引导词包括so…that,such…that以及enough to等。
So…that常常用来表达结果或导致一种可能性,其基本结构为“so+形容词/副词+that从句”,意思是“如此…以致于…”。例如:She spoke so quickly that I couldn’t understand her.
Such…that结构则强调结果超出了某种标准,其基本结构为“such+a/an+形容词+单数名词+that从句”或“such+(a/an)+形容词+可数名词复数/不可数名词+that从句”,意思是“如此…以致于…”。例如:He is such a kind person that everyone likes him.
当主句中的形容词或副词表示足够的意思时,可以用enough to do sth。结构表达。例如:She is old enough to go to school.
2. 时态
在英语中,结果状语从句的时态一般遵循以下规则:
* 如果主句的时态是现在时,从句的时态可以是任何适当时态。例如:He is so tired that he can’t walk any more.
* 如果主句的时态是过去时,从句的时态通常用过去时。例如:She spoke so slowly that we all understood her.
不过需要注意的是,在某些特殊情况下,也可以使用其他时态。例如:They were so tired that they decided to take a break.

3. 省略
在英语中,结果状语从句有时可以省略。当主句中的动词是系动词be的时候,从句中的主语和be动词通常可以省略。例如:The soup is ( ) delicious that everyone wants to taste it. 括号中省略了“so”。
此外,当主句中的动词是permit、allow等的时候,从句的主语和be动词也可以省略。例如:The circumstances do not permit ( ) me to stay here longer. 括号中省略了“to remain”。
4. 转换
有时,我们可以将结果状语从句转换为其他形式的句子。例如,可以将“so+adj/adv+that从句”转换为“such+noun+that从句”的形式。例如:He spoke so quickly that I couldn’t understand him. 可以转换为:He spoke at such a speed that I couldn’t understand him.
另外,也可以将结果状语从句转换为表示结果的介词短语。例如:He is such a good teacher that all of us love him. 可以转换为:He is ( ) us all ( ). 本例中,“so”转为“such”,且在省略号的位置表示了一种结果。
5. 注意点
在使用结果状语从句时,需要注意以下几点:
* 在使用so…that和such…that时要注意它们的位置。so后面接的是形容词或副词,而such后面接的是单数名词或复数名词(前面不加a/an)。在用enough to do sth结构时,to后面接的是不定式。
* 注意从句的时态要与主句的时态保持一致。但是当主句的动词是be的时候,从句的时态可以根据实际情况灵活运用。
