燕妮分享

  下面是小编整理的一些关于until的正确用法, 希望让大家更好地认识until这个单词,提高英语水平。

  until的句型

  1.肯定句(延续性动词)+until+句子.

  I will wait until he returns.我一直等他回来.

  肯定句(延续性动词)+until+名词或名词短语.

  I waited for him until 12 o’clock.

  2.否定句(瞬间动词)+until+句子.

  my mother had no idea of it until I told her.

  否定句(瞬间动词)+until+名词或名词短语.

  I won't leave until 12 o'clock.

  3.not...until强调句

  结构:It is/was not until +从句/表时间词语+that +肯定句.

  It was not until I told her that my mother had any idea of it.

  4.not...until倒装句(否定句才能倒装,因为具有否定意义的词或短语在句首,句子部分倒装)

  结构:Not until+从句/表时间词语+主句(倒装)Not until 12 o'ckock will I leave.

  until肯定句,否定句用法

  方法一,句中谓语动词是延续性动词,用肯定句.句中谓语动词是瞬间动词(非延续动词),用否定句或含有否定词的句子.

  方法二,和汉语意思一致,看句中动作是否做了,做了用肯定句,没做用否定句.

  方法一与方法二并不矛盾,写句子时可任选其一.

  注意:做选择填空题时否定句包括含有否定词的句子,最好先看一下答案有无until,如有先填一下看是否正确,如不行,再选其它答案.

  更多例句解析:

  1.直到雨停他才离开.

  解析:离开是瞬间动词应用否定句,离开这个动作在雨停前没做(没离开),是否定,所以用否定句,所以句子写成,He didn't leave until the rain stopped.

  强调句It was not until the stopped that he left.

  倒装句Not until the rain stopped did he leave.

  2.直到他妈妈回来他一直在看电视.

  解析:看电视是延续性动词应用肯定句,看电视这个动作在妈妈回来前做了,是肯定,所以用肯定句,所以句子写成,He was watching TV until his mother returned.
