考点: before用法一、句型“It + will be + 时间段+ before...,”表示“要过多久才”,“ It + may be + 时间段 + before... ,”表示“或许要过多久才”。
其否认形式“It will/would not be + 时间段 + before ”表示“过不了多久就”。
二、表示“在从前就”。
主句与 before从句中的两个动作准时间先后挨次发生。
三、表示“趁”,“等到”,或“没等就”等。
四、和其余相像句型的差别“ Itbe + 时间段 + since 指引的时间状语从句”表示“自从已经有多长时间了”。
主句用一般此刻时或此刻达成时。
“ It be +时间点 +when 指引的时间状语从句”表示“某个动作发生时,是某个时间”。
主句谓语动词能够是一般过去时,也能够是一般未来时。
五、 before long和long before的差别before long 意为“不久,很快”(此中 before 是介词, long 是名词),常在句中作状语,多与动词的过去时或未来时连用。
比如:The work will be finished before long.Before long he had to move on again.long before意为“好久从前”(此中long是副词。
long before独自使用时,before 是介词; long before 后接从句时, before 是连词。
)这个词组常与过去时或过去达成时连用,随从句时也可用在一般此刻时的句子中。
比如:She said that she had heard of it long before.It will be long before he arrives.【典型考例】(1)The field research will take Joan and Paul about five months; it will be a longtime _____ we meet them again.(2007安徽卷)A.after B. before C. since D. when(2)—How long do you think it will be ______China sends a manned spaceshipto the moon?(2006福建卷)—Perhaps two or three years.A. whenB. untilC. thatD. before(3)It ________ long before we _____the result of the experiment.(上海春招2002)A. will not be...will knowB. is...will knowC. will not be...knowD. is...know(4) Scientists say it may be five or six years_________ it is possible to test thismedicine on human patients.(2004福建)A. sinceB. afterC. beforeD. when(5)It was some time ___________we realized the truth.(2005山东)A. whenB. untilC. sinceD. before(6)The American Civil War lasted four years ___the North won in the end.(2005广东) A. after B. before C. when D. then(7) —Why didn't you tell him about the meeting?

It+be+……+that/since/before/when用法辨析1.it was+ (时刻,或时间点)+ when sth. happened。
当某事发生时,是几点钟或哪一年如:It was 1997 when Hongkong returned to China。
It was five o’clock when we arrived at the small mountain village。
对比强调句型:It was at five o’clock that we arrived at the small mountain village。
It+ is/ was+…+that…多用于强调。
判断方法如下:去掉it、be和that,余下的部分仍是一个完整的句子,这样的句子一定是强调句。
2.it was+一段时间+ before sth happened。
过了一段时间之后,某事才发生了.如:it was two years before Macao returned to China.it will be +一段时间before sth。
happens.要过一段时间之后,某事才会发生。
或不用过多久,某些就将发生:it won't be long before sth。
happens。
It won’t be long before you see him again。
没过多久就…It was long before they escaped from the prison。
过了很久才….3。
it is (=has been)+一段时间since sth。
happened。
自某事发生以来,(时间)已经过去.。
了。
如:It is 11 years since Hongkong returned to China.香港回归已经有11年了。
若从句中的动词是终止性动词,意为:“从开始……多久了”例如:It has been five years since she left home.(她离家已经十五年了)It was four years since he had died.(到当时为止,他已死去四年了)若从句中的动词是延续性动词,意为:“不做某事已有多久了”例如:It is two days since she was ill.(她病好了两天)It is two years since he studied English。

初三英语中考语法考点重难点详解(26)later 与after,ago 与before用法词义辨析因为词义相近,很多人分不清later 与 after,ago 与 before,要搞清楚他们的区别,关键得看用法。

later 也可以单独用,表示“从现在开始的以后”I will tell you later. 我以后会告诉你的。

After two weeks later, they were both arrested. 两周之后,两个人都背逮捕了。
如果用在一般将来时,用in+时间段,例如:I will go to London in two weeks. 我两周之后去伦敦。
(2)after+时间点、时间段都可以, 多用于过去After 2 o'clock, they started to climb.两点过后,他们开始攀登。
After so many years in the US, he has changed a lot.在美国生活多年之后,他变了很多。
You mustn't come home after 10:30.你不准十点半之后才回家。

before的语法“哎呀,这个 before 的语法到底是怎么回事啊?”好啦,咱就来说说 before 的语法。
Before 这个词在英语中用法比较多。
它可以作介词,表示“在……之前”,比如“Before the class, I need to prepare my materials.”(在上课之前,我需要准备我的材料。
)这里就是明确指出时间上在某个事件之前。
它还可以作连词,引导时间状语从句。
比如“I had finished my homework before my mom came b ack.”(在我妈妈回来之前我已经完成了作业。
)这就是典型的用 before 引导的时间状语从句,表示一个动作发生在另一个动作之前。
再举个例子,“We need to arrive at the airport before 8 o'clock.”(我们需要在八点之前到达机场。
)这就是 before 作介词的用法。
又比如“He had never seen such a beautiful place before he went to that town.”(在他去那个城镇之前,他从来没有见过那么美丽的地方。
)这就是 before 作连词的例子。
在实际运用中,要特别注意时态的搭配。
通常来说,主句和从句的时态会根据具体语境有所不同。
像刚才那个例子,主句用的过去完成时,从句用的一般过去时,表示过去的过去。
比如说,小明跟朋友说:“I had eaten breakfast before I met you.”(在我见到你之前我已经吃了早餐。
)这里就是过去完成时和一般过去时的配合。
有时候,before 引导的从句也可以用其他时态,比如现在时。
像“Make sure you lock the door before you leave.”(在你离开之前确保锁好门。
)这里 leave 就是一般现在时。
另外,before 还有一些其他的含义和用法。

例:It wasn’t long before he came home.他不久后才(很快)回到了家里。
例:It won’t long before you get well again.不久你就可以恢复健康了。
3. It be + 点时间+ before …在“It be +点时间 + before从句”结构中,before是从属连词,表示“在……之前;时间是……”,引导时间状语从句。

4. It be + 点时间+ when …在“It be +点时间 + when从句”结构中,when是从属连词,表示“当时是……”,引导时间状语从句。

考题
句型中,表示“要过多久…才…”。
(1)(2)before 用于肯定的“It + will be + 时间段+ before...”
(3)before在本题中用于否定句,意为“过不了多久就会……”, 状语从句要用一般现在时代替一般将来时,
可知C项为正确答案,句意是:要不了多久我们就会知道试验的结果了。
,表示“也许要过多久才……”,故选择答案C。
(4)宾语从句中含有句型“It + may be + 时间段+ before...”
二、用于句型“it was +时间段+ before …” 表示“过了(多长时间)才……”。
其否定形式“ it was not +

时间段+ before …” 意为“不久就……”, “
It was some time ___________we realized the truth.

C. since
D. before
表示“过了(多长时间)才……”。
该题题解析:答案为D。
before用于句型“it was +时间段+ before …”
意是“过了一段时间我们才意识到事情的真相”。
故正确答案为C项。
表示“在……之后……才”。
副词“才”在汉语中强调某事发生得晚或慢。
如果在含有before从句的复合句中,强调从句动作发生得晚或慢时,就可以应用这种译法。
The American Civil War lasted four years _______ the North won in the end.
A. after
B. before
C. when
D. then
解析:答案为B。
本题考查连词before表示“在……之后才……”之的用法,根据本句含义“美国南北战争持
续了四年,北方才最终取得胜利”,可知本题应选B。
三、表示“……还没来得及……就……”。
目的在于强调从句动作发生之前,主句动作已发生。
—Why didn't you tell him about the meeting?
— He rushed out of the room _________ I could say a word.
A. before
B. until
C. when
D. after
解析:答案为A。
本题考查连词before表示“……还没来得及……就……”的用法。
句意是“我还没来得及说
一句话,他就冲出了房间”。
四、表示“在……之前就……”。
这时主句与before从句中的两个动作按时间先后依次发生。
It was evening______ we reached the little town of Winchester.
A. that
B. until
C. since
D. before
解析:答案为D。
本题考查连词before表示“在……之前就……”的用法。
句意是“我们到达小镇Winchester 之前就已经是傍晚时分了”。
五、表示“趁……”,“等到……”,或“没等……就……”等。
He made a mistake, but then he corrected the situation _____ it got worse.
A. until
B. when
C. before
D. as
解析:答案为C。
由made a mistake和转折词but可知本题句意是“他出了差错, 但没等其进一步恶化,他就调整了局势”。
故正确答案为C项。
六、和hardly,scarcely连用,表示“刚一……就……”。
该结构主句常用过去完成时,当hardly位于句首时,要用倒装语序,例如:
I had hardly sat down before the telephone rang.=Hardly had I sat down before the telephone rang.
我刚一坐下电话就响了。
We had scarcely reached the school before it began to rain.= Scarcely had we reached the school before it began to rain我们刚到学校天就下雨了。
七、和其它相似句型的区别
有时候before引导的时间状语从句与since,when引导的时间状语从句在下列结构中较相似,容易混淆。
“It be +时间段+ since引导的时间状语从句”表示“自从……已经有多长时间了”。
主句用一般现在时或现
在完成时。
“It be +时间点+when引导的时间状语从句”表示“某个动作发生时,是某个时间”。
主句谓语动词可以是一般过去时,也可以是一般将来时。
(1)It is almost five years ________we saw each other last time.
A. before
B. since
C. after
D. when
(2)— Did Jack come back early last night?
— Yes. It was not yet eigh t o’ clock________ he arrived home.
A. before
B. when
C. that
D. until
解析:答案为BB。
考题(1)考查的是“It be +时间段+ since引导的时间状语从句”结构,句意是“自从上次我们见面以来已经近五年没有见了”,故选择答案B。
考题(2)考查的是句型“It be +时间点+when引导的时间状语从句”,句意是“他昨晚回家时还不到8点”,故选择答案B。
八、before long和long before的区别
before long意为“不久,很快”(其中before是介词,long是名词),常在句中作状语,多与动词的过去
时或将来时连用。
例如:
The work will be finished before long. 工作不久就会完成。
Before long he had to move on again. 不久,他被迫再次迁移。
long before意为“很久以前”(其中long是副词。
long before单独使用时,before是介词;long before 后接从句时,before是连词。
)这个词组常与过去时或过去完成时连用,跟从句时也可用在一般现在时的
句子中。
例如:
She said that she had heard of it long before. 她说她早就听说过此事。
It will be long before he arrives. 还要等很久他才能到达。
