學(xué)員HQ9EDU09060: 老師,請(qǐng)問When,while,as,前后應(yīng)該加的時(shí)態(tài)是什么?
老師回復(fù):when, while,as的區(qū)別并不在時(shí)態(tài)上,時(shí)態(tài)的確定要根據(jù)句子中的時(shí)間狀語.
這三個(gè)連詞中,when 用得最廣,常可代替while 與as.與while比較,when 所引導(dǎo)的從句,動(dòng)詞既可是延續(xù)性的,也可是終止性的。as在這一點(diǎn)上與when 相同,while所引導(dǎo)的從句中,動(dòng)詞只能是延續(xù)性的。例如:
The telephone rang when(while) I was taking a bath.
All the students were sleeping soundly when the fire broke out. (此句中不可以用while)
兩個(gè)延續(xù)性動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生又具有對(duì)比意味時(shí),用while,在這樣的復(fù)合句中,主從句的時(shí)態(tài)通常上相同的。例如:
Father was preparing a report while I was playing games.
While I played the violin, my sister did her homework.
