【英语语法】结果状语从句的用法
【英语语法】结果状语从句的用法,英语培训学校编辑和大家分享结果状语从句的用法,请阅读下文。
1.引导结果状语从句的从属连词主要有so that,so that,such that等。如: He was so angry that he couldn't speak.他气得话都说不出来。
He shut the window with such force that the glass broke.
他关窗子用力很大,结果玻璃震破了。
2.so that与such that的用法比较。从用法上看,so后应接形容词或副词, 而such后接名词。但有时so +形容词后还可接一个名词,且这个名词总是带不 定冠词的单数可数名词(不能是复数名词或不可数名词)。
如:
【正】 He is so clever a child that we all like him. / He is such a clever child that we all like him.
这小孩很聪明,我们都喜欢他。
【正】 They are such clever children that we all like them
这些孩子很聪明,我们都很喜欢。
【误】 They are so clever children that we all like them.
此时的so that结构可与such that结构转换。
【注】在much,many,little,few这四个詞前总是用so而不用such。如:
He had so many falls that he was black and blue all over.
他摔了许多跤,结果全身都是伤。
He earns so little money that he can hardly feed his family.
他赚的钱很少几乎不能养家糊口。
3.结果状语从句与不定式短语的转换。
由so that和so that引导的结果状语 从句有时可与表结果的so as to和so as to引出的不定式短语转换。如:
He arrived late so that he missed the train. / He arrived late so as to miss the train.
他到得很迟,结果未赶上火车。
He wrote so carefully that he made no mistakes. / He wrote so carefully as to make no mistakes.
他写得很仔细,所以没有出错。
4.so that引导目的状语和结果状语的区别
(1)含义上的区别引导目的状语从句时表示的是一种意欲或可能性,引导 结果从句时表示的是一种事实。
(2)形式上的区别引导目的从句之前不用逗号(说话时也不停顿),而结果 从句之前则通常有逗号(说话时常有停顿);有时引导结果状语从句时其前也可以 没有逗号,此时可看从句中是否有can / could,may / might,will / would以及 should等情态动词,如果没有,则多半是结果从句。
比较:
We've come early so that the meeting can begin promptly.
我们来得很早,以便可以马上开会。(so that引导目的状语从句)
We are all here now,so that the meeting can begin at last.
我们现在都到齐了,终于能开会了。(奶that引导结果状语从句)
另外,so that引导目的从句时有时可放在主句之前,而引导结果从句时却不 能。
如:
【正】So that he could buy a new car,he saved a lot of money.
他节省了一大笔钱,以便能买辆新车。(引导目的状语从句)
【误】So that I could hardly stand,I was tired.(引导结果状语从句不能置于句 首,可改为 I was tired so that I could hardly stand.我很累,几乎站不稳了。)
5.so that和such that有时不引导结果状语句。
so that和such that可以引导结果状语从句,但并不是说它们引导的从句就一定是结果状语。
如:
I'm so happy that you could visit us.
我很高兴你能来看望我们。(其中的so用于加强语气,相当于very)
It's such a great pleasure that you are here.
你在这里是非常令人高兴的事。(其中的that引导的是主语从句,句首的it为形式主语)
