狀語從句是什麼意思

狀語從句(Adverbial Clauses)是用來修飾主句的語氣、時間、原因、條件、結果、方式或地點的從句。它們可以用來提供更多的信息,或者將一個句子與另一個句子連接起來。狀語從句通常由連接詞引導,如when, because, if, since, although, until, where等。

例如:

  1. 時間狀語從句:When I finish my homework, I will go to the park.
  2. 原因狀語從句:Because I am tired, I am going to bed early tonight.
  3. 條件狀語從句:If you study hard, you will pass the exam.
  4. 結果狀語從句:So that I can catch the early train, I need to wake up at 5 am.
  5. 方式狀語從句:She sings beautifully, as if she were an angel.
  6. 地點狀語從句:Wherever you go, I will follow you.

狀語從句可以放在主句之前或之後,但是要注意語序和語氣。在某些情況下,狀語從句也可以省略連接詞,特別是if引導的條件狀語從句,可以將if省略,將助動詞提前。例如:

原句:If you study hard, you will pass the exam. 省略if後的句子:Study hard, and you will pass the exam.
