状语从句英语例句

状语从句就是来修饰动词的那个句子，状语从句相当于一个副词，如：whenitrains,iusuallygotoschoolbybus.天下雨时，我通常坐公共汽车上学。（时间状语）ifhecomestomorrow,youwillseehim.如果他明天来，你就可以看见他。（if引导的条件状语从句，其结构为：if+状语从句，＋主句）。要注意在状语从句中有一个规则是“主将从现”，即主句是将来时，则从句要用一般现在时表示将来。

目的状语从句

从句部分是用以补充说明主句中谓语动词发生的目的的状语从句。表示目的状语的从句可以由that, so that, in order that, lest, for fear that, in case等词引导；目的状语从句的谓语常含有may, might, can, could, should, will, would等情态动词。
