“没做某事已经多久了”. eg:It has been three years
since he worked here.他不在这工作已经三年了.It has been three years since he
smoked.他已经戒烟三年了.但是:It has been three years since he began to
smoke.他吸烟有三年了。 II.before.1.It was/will
be+时间段+before...过多长时间将发生某动作或事情;或过了多久发生了某事或动作。 eg:It was three years before he
finished the work.他花了三年才完成这项工作. It will be three years before
he finishes the work.他得花三年才能完成这项工作. 2.It won't be/take long
before...不久就会… eg:It won't be long before he
finishes the work.他不久就会完成这项工作. IIIwhen. when没有固定与It is…连用的句型.when可表示时间点或时间段,因此从句中短暂性动词或延续性动词均可用.when还可作并列连词,表示突然发生一个动作,等于and at that
time.常用句型: 1主语+was/were doing when... 2主语+was/were about to do when... It+be+时间+before/since/when/that重要考点练习 It
+be+时间+before/since/when/that…是高考中每年必考的重要考点,而学生却对这个句型中几个关联词的选择把握不准,造成失分。我在试题讲解的过程中设计了以下几个小题,让学生去分析,整理,归纳,效果很好。 1. It
was two years ________he realized the truth. 2. It
will be two years ________ the economic situation
improves. 3. It
was two years later ________ he realized the truth. 4. It
is /has been two years ________ he lived here. 5. It
was midnight ________ he arrived home. 6. It
was at midnight ________ he arrived home. 7. It
was not until midnight _______ he arrived home. A.
before B. when C. since
D. that 「答案与解析」
1、2两个小题都选A.第一题意为:两年后他才得知真相。第二题意为:经济形式要等两年后才会有所好转。 「归纳」It was/ will be
+一段时间+before+句子是高考一个重要考点。意为:多久之后才…… 要注意:It will be +一段时间+before+句子,before引导的是一个时间状语从句,所以后面的从句要用一般现在时态表将来。 3. D此题为强调句型。把It
was…that去掉后,句子仍然成立:He realized the truth two years later. 4. C本句意为:他不住在这儿已经两年了。 「归纳」为since意为自从某时或某事发生以来,故since后从句时,从句的时态应用一般过去时态,而主句应用现在完成时态。如表示某某事发生多久了,则用:It is/ has
been+一段时间+since+从句。 「注意」It is/ has
been+一段时间+since+从句。在本结构中,从句的谓语动词如为延续性动词时,翻译时要从动作结束时算起。 5. B本句为定语从句,先行词为midnight,在从句中作状语。要注意与第6小题的区别,第6题为强调句型,故答案应为that. 6.D再看下面两题: (1)It was the park ________ he first met his
wife. (2)It was in this park ________ he first met his
wife.第一题答案应为where,为定语从句;第二题答案为that,为强调句型。 7.D本题亦为强调句型结构:It was not
until…that…意为:直到……才……
