schmitz wrote a letter with three wishes right before she died, but asked a friend not to mail it until her husband had fallen in love again. 【句意】布兰达施米茨去世前写了一封信，信中表达了自己的三个心愿，她将信交给一位朋友，请朋友在她的丈夫重新寻得爱情之时将信寄出。【分析】这是一个主从复合句。but为并列连词，连接两个并列分句；第二个分句中含有not until引导的时间状语从句。若not until放在句首，主句则倒装。i told my friend once my loving husband david had moved on in his life and had met someone to share his life with again, to mail this letter to all of you at the station. 【句意】她请一位朋友在她的丈夫大卫重又坠入爱河的时候再将信寄出。【分析】这是一个主从复合句。once引导条件状语从句；正常语序是：i told my friend to mail this letter to all of you at the station，once my loving husband david had moved on in his life and had met someone to share his life with again。 【语法点滴】if 引导的条件状语从句if 条件句不一般,几个要点记心间; 条件句,放在前,逗号要放句中间。 条件句表可能，主句多用将来时； 条件句表事实，主句常用现在时。 在 if 引导的条件状语从句中，如果从句谈论的是一个有可能发生的事实及其产生的相关的结果，主句用一般将来时态，从句用一般现在时态。如： we can walk there if we cant find a bus . if it rains tomorrow ,we will not go to the zoo. what will you do if you find a panda in danger. 如果 if 条件句谈论的是重复发生和预示要发生的情景和事件，则主从句大多用一般现在时态。如： if bears are in danger ,they attack people. 注意 ： 在 if 引导的条件状语从句中，if 和条件句位置灵活，可直接放在主句后面，若 if 条件句放句首， 从句后面要加逗号，和主句隔开。 （1） if条件句表可能，主句多用将来时；例如：you will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket.如果他没给你罚单就放你走了，算你走运（2）if 从句用一般现在时，主句用may/ might/ can，if条件句表事实，主句常用现在时，例如：if you receive arequest like this, you cannot fail to obey it!；if it stops snow
