until用法归纳

Until XXX of an n or state until a certain point in time。For

example。"I waited until three o'clock" means that I continued to

wait until that specific time。It can also be used in negative

sentences to indicate that the n has not yet occurred。For example。"The noise didn't。until midnight" means that the noise XXX.

When using until in a positive sentence。the main verb must

be a continuous verb。such as live。wait。last。love。like。stay。work。or continue。In negative sentences。until indicates that the

n has not yet occurred before the n in the subordinate clause。It

XXX "not until."

It is important to note that until cannot be used with the XXX

Instead。the present tense should be used。For example。"He

will stay here until his mother comes back" should be "He will stay

here until his mother returns."

Till and until have similar meanings and uses。but until is

more formal and often used in American English。while till is

more common in British English。Till cannot be used at the XXX

with "not," while until can。In these cases。inverted word order

should be used。such as "Not until nine o'clock XXX."
