四．单元重点语法讲练
if引导的条件状语从句
一、语法概述
条件状语从句通常由连词if引导，意为“ ”，表示在某种条件下，很可能会发生某种
事情或不发生某种事情。
1．if条件状语从句的位置
在 if 引导的条件状语从句中，if 条件句位置比较灵活，可放在主句前面也可放在主句后面。若放在主句前，
10新人教八年级英语上册单元同步知识点与语法精讲精练
从句后面要用逗号和主句隔开。
Eg:If he doesn't feel tired，he will visit the museum.
＝He will visit the museum if he doesn't feel tired.如果他不感觉累，他就去参观博物馆。
2．if条件状语从句的时态搭配
(1)当 ，if 引导的条件状语 。------------主将从现
Eg:If it rains tomorrow，I won't climb the hills.如果明天下雨，我就不爬山。
(2)当主句中含有 can ， may ， must 等情态动词 时，if 引导的条件状语从句要用 。
Eg:We can win the basketball game if he joins us.如果他加入我们，我们就能赢这场篮球赛。
(3) 当主句是祈使句时，if 引导的条件状语从句要用 。
Eg:Help your mom with the housework if you finish your homework early.如果你完成作业早，就帮你妈妈做家务。
3．与其他句式之间的转换
含if引导的条件状语从句的复合句可与其他句型进行转换。
(1)与“ 祈使句 +and/or+ 陈述句 ”进行互换。and表示 ，or表示“ ”。
Eg:If you get up early，you'll get there on time.＝ Get up early，and you'll get there on time.＝Get up early，or you
won't get there on time.早点起床，你就会准时到那里。
(2)借助介词without 或with 来转换条件状语从句。
Eg:If there is no water，fish will die.＝Fish will die without water.如果没有水，鱼就会死。
Eg:If you help me，I'll finish the work soon.＝With your help，I'll finish the work soon.如果你帮助我，我就会快
点完成工作。
(3)if … not引导的条件状语从句，可以借助连词unless 来改写。
Eg:You will be late if you don't go there by bus.＝You will be late unless you go there by bus.如果你不乘公共汽车你
就会迟到。
注意： unless引导条件状语从句，表示“除非、如果不”，相当于if not。如果主句为一般将来时、主句为祈
使句或者含有情态动词时， unless 引导的条件状语从句用一般现在时表示将来。
Eg:Unless your work hard, you won't get good grades.除非你努力，否则将不能取得好成绩。
Eg:You will miss the early bus unless you hurry up.你将错过早班车，除非你快点。

early the next morning to finish it. Lately, I even get a bad headache.
How can I solve these problems?
Yours,
Liu Ya
Dear Liu Ya,
When you have problems listening to teachers carefully in class, you can ask your teachers or deskmates to
remind you often. Then spending time talking about many different things with friends can make you happy. It’s
not a waste of time.
As for homework, when it’s hard to get it finished, one thing you can try is setting goals for yourself. Ask
your parents to help you. You must take a break if you don’t feel well. You might be surprised but a short rest
can help you get more done! Lastly, if you don’t worry and have enough sleep, your headache will leave you.
Yours,
Merry

During my travels through the mountains of Greece I was only ever scared once, it was dusk and as I walked. I
came across six large wolves that were feeding on the body of a dead animal. I had heard many stories about wolves as
a child and it was this animal that I feared more than any other. The wolves before me were huge, at least 6 feet long
and covered with thick grey fur.
As I went near, the wolves left the blood-covered snow that surrounded the body and started walking towards me,
one after another. They stopped about 20 meters from me and stared. The lead wolf raised his head into the air and
took in a deep breath, as if he was smelling me. The animals looked both beautiful and frightening, but I knew I

couldn't show them my fear. As I drew nearer, the lead wolf raised his head once more but this time let out a long, loud
cry. The awful cry rang out across the silent valley. I had never heard a more frightening sound. I was almost certain it
was a sign to be death.
Every moment I expected to see the pack of wolves’ dash at me. I knew my only hope was to pretend I had no
fear. I walked past the line of wolves, like a general moving among his soldiers. They cried out loud again. But when
they saw that their cry did not cause me to change my direction or make me run they feared to come after me, so they
let me pass and returned to the dead animal.
If I had turned back or tried to run away when they marched out to meet me, I am certain the whole pack would
have attacked me in a moment. But my show of false courage intimidated them and kept them back.

七、阅读回答问题
Everyone worries. But how do you deal with your worries? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take
16新人教八年级英语上册单元同步知识点与语法精讲精练
these three steps to deal with your worries:
1. Try to find out what you’re worried about
Sometimes, you will know what you’re worried about. Other times, you might not. Try to find it out first; if you
can’t, you can ask for help.
2. Think of ways to make it better
There is always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won’t
solve your problem.
Grades at school are often top worries for kids. If you’re worried about grades, ask yourself these questions:
★ Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me?
★ How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isn’t a test?
★ Do I have a good place to do my homework?
★ Have I tried different ways of studying?
If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you could do —write a
note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her, etc. Once you have a list of things
you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back.
3. Ask for help
When you’re worried, it can help to find someone to talk to. You can ask your parents, friends or teachers for
help.
