What are subordinate clauses When a number of ideas are combined in one sentence, some ideas are more important than others. We can use subordinate clauses to express less important ideas. These can be divided into three kinds: adverbial, noun or attributive clauses. What are adverbial clauses ? Complete the following with proper conjunctions: As I didn’t know the way, I asked a policeman. If it snows tomorrow, we will build a snowman. He didn’t go to school until he was eleven. We arrived early, so that we got good seats. We intend to go U.S., even if air fares are expensive. (A) as, when, while的区别 1. ____the day went on, the weather got worse. (MET90) A. With B. Since C. While D. As 2. I had just stepped out of the bathroom and was busily drying myself with a towel _________ I heard the steps. (湖南卷) A. while B. when C. since D. after 3. - Im going to the post office. -?________ youre there, can you get me some stamps? (NMET 99) A. As??? B. While?? C. Because?? D. If as, when, while 都表示主、从句的动作或状态同时发生，但三者意义不尽相同。 as和when引导的从句既可表示一点时间，也可表示一段时间，从句中的谓语动词既可以是持续性动词，也可以为短暂性动词，经常可以互换使用； while引导的从句通常表示一段时间，从句中宜用持续性动词作谓语。当从句中的谓语动词为持续性动词时，这三者可以通用. 如： Mother was worried because little Alice was ill, especially as / when / while father was away in France. 妈妈担心，因为小艾丽思病了，特别是当父亲远在法国的时候。  如果从句和主句要表示一个人的两个动作交替进行或同时完成时，则多用as，可译为“一边......，一边......”。例如： He looked behind from to time as he went. 他一边走，一边不时地往后看。 I thought of it just as you opened your mouth. 你一张嘴我就知道你要说什么。 （若表示两个短促动作几乎同时发生时，用as的场合多于when.） 当主从句之间表示转折或对比关系时，多用while, 不用as或when。如： She thought I was talking about her daughter, while in fact, I was talking about my daughter. 她以为我在谈论她女儿，而事实上，我在谈论我的女儿。 如果表示从句的动作在主句的动作“之前”或“之后”发生时，多用when（=after）, 不用as或 while。此外，when还含有“at that moment”的意思（= and then），引起的句子不能放在句首，也不能用as, while来替换。例如： He was about to leave when the telephone rang. 他正要离开，忽然电话铃响了。 We were watching TV when suddenly the lights went out. 我们正在看电视，突然灯灭了。 They had just ar
