含有when句子,關(guān)鍵是時(shí)態(tài)搭配,那么,when后用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)還是一般將來(lái)時(shí)呢?當(dāng) When 引導(dǎo)的是賓語(yǔ)從句,而且從句中需要用一般將來(lái)時(shí)時(shí)。例如:eg. He thinks when they will come back home.當(dāng) When 引導(dǎo)的是狀語(yǔ)從句,主句用了一般將來(lái)時(shí),從句中的一般將來(lái)時(shí)要用現(xiàn)在時(shí)來(lái)代替。eg. He will come to see me when he comes back home.下面我們用例子為說(shuō)明一下。
請(qǐng)看下面這道時(shí)態(tài)考題:
—When __________ again?
—I don’t know. But when he __________,I’ll let you know.
A. he comes,comes B. will he come,will come
C. he comes,will come D. will he come,comes
【分析】此題應(yīng)選D。第一句為特殊疑問(wèn)句(when=何時(shí)),根據(jù)句意,應(yīng)用一般將來(lái)時(shí)態(tài)。 第二句為一個(gè)含有條件狀語(yǔ)從句的主從復(fù)合句(when=當(dāng)……的時(shí)候)。按語(yǔ)法規(guī)則:在時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句和條件狀語(yǔ)從句中,通常要用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)表示將來(lái)意義,而不能直接使用將來(lái)時(shí)態(tài)。請(qǐng)做以下選擇題:
1. The football match will be put off if it ________.
A. will rain B. rains
C. rained D. is raining
2. —Can I join your club,Dad?
—You can when you _________ a bit older.
A. get B. will get
C. are getting D. will have got
此時(shí)要特別注意分清:由when和if引導(dǎo)的從句是狀語(yǔ)從句還是賓語(yǔ)從句:
3. 1) I won’t go if it ________ tomorrow. (狀語(yǔ)從句)
2) I don’t know if it ________ tomorrow. (賓語(yǔ)從句)
A. rains B. will rain
C. is raining D. has rained
答案:1. B 2. A 3. 1)A 2)B
