状语从句就是在主从复合句中作状语的从句。状语从句分很多种,如时间状语从句、原因状语从句、条件
状语从句、结果状语从句、目的状语从句等。本单元主要涉及的是由 although,so that 及 until 引导
的状语从句。

从句可以放在主句前或主句后。

3.until 意为“直到······为止”,引导时间状语从句,其引导的状语从句常放在主句之后,也可以放在主句
之
前。如果主句为一般将来时,从句要用一般现在时表示将来。until 用于肯定句中时,意为“直到·····为
止”,主句谓语动词必须是延续性动词。until用在否定句中时,意为“直到······才”,主句谓语动词通常
用非延续性动词。
