no sooner.than 固定用法"一...就..."
引导时间状语从句,主句用过去完成时,"than"后面的从句用一般过去时.(从这里可以知道,no sooner后面是主句;than后面是从句)
例:
I had no sooner reached home than it began to rain.
我一到家天就下起雨来
No sooner ...than...常放在句首,表示强调.这时主句要倒装.
例:No sooner had I reached home than it began to rain.
与这个短语类似的还有 hardly ...when
意思为:"还没...就..."
例:
We had hardly gotten there when it began to rain.
我们还没到那儿,天就下起雨了.
ardly...when...表示“一……就”
scancely/hardly...when/before和no sooner...than(都是一...就的意思)句型要注意倒装
如"He has no sooner understood than he reads"变成
No sooner has he understood than he reads.
not until的倒装与强调结构
1.当Not until位于句首时,句子要倒装.其结构为:Not until+从句/表时间的词+助动词+(主句)主语+谓语+.如:
①Not until the teacher came in did the students stop talking.直到老师进来学生们才停止讲话.
②Not until next week will the sports meet be held.直到下周才开运动会.
2.not until的强调结构为:It is / was not until+从句/表时间的词+that+.上面两句改为强调句为:
③It was not until the teacher came in that the students stopped talking.
④It is not until next week that the sports meet will be held.
