It+时间+从句的英语语法区别完整版解释.docVIP

It+时间+从句”考点透视 请看下面一道题: The field research will take Joan and Paul about five months; it will be a long time _____ we meet them again. A. after???????????? B. before? ???????????C. since?????????????? ??? D. when 这是2007年安徽的一道高考题，其实质上是通过“it + be+从句”这一句型来考查了连词的用法。在该结构中连词的选择是有规可循的，主要是由主句、从句中的谓语动词的时态来确定的。下面通过下表比较（尤其是对主从中时态的比较）就能很容易的掌握。 结构 从句中谓语动词的形式 含义 例句 It is +时间段+since从句 一般过去时 （到现在为止）做某事已有多长时间了 It is three years since the war broke out. It was+时间段+since从句 过去完成时 （到过去某时为止）做某事已有多长时间了 It was two years since he had left here. It was +时间段+before从句 一般过去时 过了多长时间才…… It was a long time before I got to sleep again. It was not +时间段+before从句 一般过去时 没过多长时间就…… It wasn’t long before he told me about this affair It will be +时间段+before从句 一般现在时 要过了多长时间才…… It will be five years before we meet again. It will be not +时间段+before从句 一般过去时 没过多长时间就…… It won’t three hours before he arrives at the bus stop. It is/was +时间点+when引导的定语从句 ? 做某事的时间是什么时间 It was eight o’clock in the morning when he went shopping. It is/was+时间状语+that引导的强调句 ? 正是在某个时间，某事发生了 It was at eight o’clock in the morning that he went shopping. It’s time that+从句 一般过去时（或should+动词原形） 是该做某事的时候了 It is time that I went (should go) to pick up his daughter. It is the first/second/third time +that从句 现在完成时 某人第一/二/三次做…… It is my first time (that) I have visited the Great Wall. It/This/That was the first/second/third time +that从句 过去完成时 某人第一/二/三次做…… It was the second time that the film had been shown in this cinema 总结一 在 It +be+ 时间 + 从句结构中，引导从句的从属连词有 before, that, since, until （ till ） , when 等。这一结构是近几年高考常考的知识点，现将它们的用法小结如下： It +be （ not ） + 时间段 +before 从句。其中的主句是肯定式时，意为过多长时间才......；主句是否定式时，意为没过多久就......。 例如：1. It was not long before the whole country rose and drove the Austrian soldiers from their homeland. It may be five or six years before the new medicine is tested on human beings. It was two months before he designed the bridge. It +will be （ was ） + 时间段 +until 从句 若主句中用一般将来时，则从句中用一般现在时，意思是从现在起到从句中谓语动词表示的动作发生时还有多长时间；若主句中用一般过去时，则从句中也用一般
