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."
