让步状语从句倒装用法系统归纳

Be a quiet StUdent as he mayD QUiet as he may be a StUdent这道题很有一怎难度。具体说来，它主要涉及两个考点：一是让步状语从句倒装后的词 序问题。让步状语从句之所以要采用倒装结构，主要是为了强调位于句首的名词、形容词、 副词、动词等，其词序形式为：被强调的成分+as/though +主语

2、+动词。二是在倒装的让步 状语从句中，位于句首的单数可数名词是否带冠词的问题。按照英语习惯，英语中的单数可 数名词在泛指时，一般要有不左冠词的修饰，但是位于倒装让步状语从句句首的单数可数名 词是个例外，即使泛指英前也不加不定冠词。由此可知，上面这逍考题的答案应为B。为了掌握让步状语从句的倒装用法，本文将这类语法现象归纳为以下几种句型：%名词+as / though+主语+动词King as he was. he WaS unhappy.他虽是国王，但他并不幸福。Child as he is, he knows to help other.他虽是个孩子，但却知道帮助別人。TeaCher thou
