Ⅱ.重點(diǎn)句型詳解

1.Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don't speak the same kind of English. 以英語作為母語的人,即使他們所說的英語不盡相同,也可以相互交流。

句中 even if 相當(dāng)于 even though, 意為“即使;盡管”,引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。even if/though 引導(dǎo)的從句中可用現(xiàn)在時(shí)代替將來時(shí)。

拓展:(1)引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句的引導(dǎo)詞還有 although, though, no matter when/what..., whenever, wherever, however 等等。

(2)as也可以引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句,但要把其表語、謂語或賓語前置,且前置的單數(shù)名詞不可以加冠詞。
