让步状语从句
让步状语从句由though,although,as,even if (though),however,whatever,whoever,whenever,no matter +wh词,等引导。
1、even if, even though, although,though引导的让步状语从句
这四个词(词组)都有“虽然、即使、尽管”的意思。even if和even though带有较强的意味,语气比although和though强。though比although通俗,但不如although正式,都不能和but连用,但可以和yet, still或nevertheless连用。可以放在主句前面也可以放在主句后面。even if,even though所接的句子常用虚拟语气。

2、as或though引导让步状语从句
(1)由as或though引导让步状语从句用倒装语序

(2)如果表语为单数可数名词,这个名词不带冠词
12-year-old girl as she is, she has had a good command of English.她虽然只是个12岁的女孩,但是她已经熟知英语。
Child as he is,he knows a lot.虽然他还是个孩子,却懂的很多。
(3)如果句中谓语包含情态动词或助动词,则将实意动词放在as之前

Praised as he was, he remained modest.他虽然受到表扬,但仍然保持着谦虚。
(4)如果句中谓语仅有实意动词,则将实意动词(原形)放在as之前,并在主语后面加助动词do, does, did或will。
