3.目的状语从句

可以由that , so that, in order that,lest(conj唯恐，以免),forfear that, in case等词引导；

 

Lest:以防；从句中谓语动词必须用should+动词原形；(for fear that与其一致)

In case:以防；与lest不同,从句里的时态不做任何特殊变化；

4.结果状语从句

8.原因状语从句

连接词：because,since, as, for,   now that,  in that, owing to, due to, thanks to, because of, as a result of;

 

比较：because,since,as和for

because语势最强，说明 人所不知的原因，回答why提出的问题；

I didn't go, because I was afraid;

 

原因是显而易见的或已为人知的，用as或 since；

Since/As the weather is so bad, we have to delay our journey.

 

由because引导的从句如果放在句末，且前面有逗号，则可以用for来代替;

He is absent today, because/for he is ill.

 

如果不是说明直接原因，而是多种情况加以推断，就只能用for;

He must be ill, for he is absent today.

 

Now that : 既然

Now that this semester is finished, I am going to rest a few days and take a trip.

 

In that :因为，通常只能放在句中，强调重要的，唯一的原因。

Owning to ,due to, thanks to, because of, as a result of等短语后面只能接词或短语,不能接从句；

 

9.让步状语从句
