since的用法
since的用法主要有两点：一是表示“自从……以来”,二是表示“既然”之意.但如果只了解词的含义,而不了解其用法,在使用时就会造成错误.例如：I have not heard from him since I lived in Shanghai.
不少人会望文生义,将该句译为：“自从我住在上海以来,就再也没有收到他的信了.”而实际上这个句子的译文并非如此,那么正确的含义是什么呢?
下面谈谈since作连词引导时间状语从句的用法.
一、若since引导的状语从句的谓语动词是终止性的过去时,则从句表示的时间是“从动作开始的那一时刻起”.如：
He has studied very hard since he came to our school.自从他来到我们学校,他学习就非常努力.
We have been missing them since they left here自从他们离开这里,我们就一直很想念他们.
这是最常见的一种用法,此处不再多述.
二、若since引导的状语从句的谓语动词是持续性动词或表示状态的动词的过去时时,则从句表示的时间是“从那持续动作或状态结束时算起”.如：
I haven’t heard any noise since I slept.Sleep 为持续性动词,sleep的动作结束时,即“醒来”时,这句应译为“我醒后还未听到任何声音”.
John is now with his parents in New York,it is already three years since he was a teacher约翰现在和父母一起住在纽约,他不当教师已经三年了.
本文开始出现的那个句子就可以译为“自从我离开上海,就再也没有收到他的信.”这种译法常被人们误用,我们不妨再多举几个例子看看：
How long is it since you lived in Shanghai?你离开（没住在）上海多久了?
It is half a month since he was a League member.他退团（不当团员）半个月了.
It’s been quite some time since I was last in London我离开伦敦已很长时间了.
比较：He has written to me frequently since I was ill.自从我病愈以来,他屡次给我写信.（从句谓语为状态动词）
He has written to me frequently since I fell ill.自从我生病以来,他就屡次给我写信.（从句谓语为终止性动词）
三、若since引导的状语从句的谓语为持续性动词的现在完成时,则表示动作和状态延续到现在（说话时刻）,其表示的时间的起点应从动作发生之时算起.如：
I haven’t heard from him since he has lived there.
这里has lived表示动作的持续性,时间的起点应从：“开始居住”时算起.因此此句可理解为“自从他（开始）住在那儿起,我就一直没收到他的来信”.
Since we have owned a car,we have gone camping every year.自从我们自己有了汽车,我们每年都去野营.
试比较：1.Since I’ve been at this school,we have had three headmasters.自从我到这所学校,我们已换了三个校长了.
Since I was at this school,they have had three headmasters.自从我离开这所学校,他们已换了三个校长了.
2.He has never been to see me since I have been ill.自从我生病以来,他从未来看过我.
He has never been to see me since I was ill.自从我病愈以来,他从未来看过我.
由此可见,since引导的从句持续动词的一般过去时和现在完成时所表示的意思恰好相反.换言之,前者以肯定的语法形式反映着否定的逻辑内容,而后者的形式与内容是一致的.
至于It is +一段时间+since…的句型与It has been +一段时间+since…意思相同.前者是规范说法,后者是口语说法.
应注意的是,在这种结构中,since引导的从句绝对不能用否定式的谓语动词来表示否定意义,下面两句都错了：
It is a long time since he didn’t study English.
It’s two months since you didn’t come to see me.
正确的说法为：
It’s a long time since he studied English 他好久没学英语了.
You haven’t come to see me for two months.你有两个月没来看我了.

when，while，as引导时间状语从句的区别
when，while，as显然都可以引导时间状语从句，但用法区别非常大。
一、when可以和延续性动词连用，也可以和短暂性动词连用；而while和as只能和延续性动词连用。

when，while，as引导时间状语从句的区别
when，while，as显然都可以引导时间状语从句，但用法区别非常大。
一、when可以和延续性动词连用，也可以和短暂性动词连用；而while和as只能和延续性动词连用。
① Why do you want a new job when youve got such a good one already？（get为短暂性动词）你已经找到如此好的工作，为何还想再找新的？
②Sorry，I was out when you called me．（call为短暂性动词）对不起，你打电话时我刚好外出了。
③Strike while the iron is hot．（is为延续性动词，表示一种持续的状态）趁热打铁。
④ The students took notes as they listened．（listen为延续性动词）学生们边听课边做笔记。
二、when从句的谓语动词可以在主句谓语动作之前、之后或同时发生；while和as从句的谓语动作必须是和主句谓语动作同时发生。
1．从句动作在主句动作前发生，只用 when。
①When he had finished his homework，he took a short rest．（finished先发生）当他完成作业后，他休息了一会儿。
②When I got to the airport，the guests had left．（got to后发生）当我赶到飞机场时，客人们已经离开了。
2．从句动作和主句动作同时发生，且从句动作为延续性动词时，when，while，as都可使用。
①When ／While ／As we were dancing，a stranger came in．（dance为延续性动词）当我们跳舞时，一位陌生人走了进来。
②When ／While ／As she was making a phonecall，I was writing a letter．（make为延续性动词）当她在打电话时，我正在写信。
3．当主句、从句动作同时进行，从句动作的时间概念淡化，而主要表示主句动作发生的背景或条件时，只能用 as。这时，as常表示“随着……”；“一边……，一边……”之意。
① As the time went on，the weather got worse．（as表示“随着……”之意）
② The atmosphere gets thinner and thinner as the height increases．随着高度的增加，大气越来越稀薄。
③As years go by，China is getting stronger and richer．随着时间一年一年过去，中国变得越来越富强了。
④The little girls sang as they went．小姑娘们一边走，一边唱。
⑤The sad mother sat on the roadside，shouting as she was crying．伤心的妈妈坐在路边，边哭边叫。
4．在将来时从句中，常用when，且从句须用一般时代替将来时。
①You shall borrow the book when I have finished reading it．在我读完这本书后，你可以借阅。
②When the manager comes here for a visit next week，Ill talk with him about this．下周，经理来这参观时，我会和他谈谈此事。
三、when用于表示“一……就……”的句型中（指过去的事情）。
sb．had hardly（＝scarcely） done sth．when．．．＝Hardly ／ Scarcely had sb．done sth．when．．．
①I had hardly ／scarcely closed my eyes when someone knocked at the door．＝Hardly ／ Scarcely had I closed my eyes when someone knocked at the door．我刚一闭上眼，就有人在敲门了。
②I had hardly ／scarcely entered my room when the telephone rang．＝Hardly ／Scarcely had I entered my room when the telephone rang．我刚一走进房门，电话就响了。
