让步状语从句什么是让步状语从句?定义：让步状语从句是状语从句中的一种，其本身也是状语从句。一般翻译为“尽管……”或“即使……”，就是我们日常生活中用的“退一步说……”的感觉。使用的连词：though,although,while,as;evenif,eventhough;whether...or...;no

matter+疑问词，疑问词-ever，regardlessof+名词/名词短语/名词从句，despite，inspiteof

位置：让步状语从句可以前置，也可以后置；前置时强调主句内容，后置时强调从句内容。有时也可以采取中位（插入句中）。__________theForbiddenCityisalmost600yearsold,itisstillverybeautiful.AlthoughTheForbiddenCityisstillverybeautiful,__________itisalmost600yearsold.althoughWorkouttherule.Wecanuse"although"atthe__________orinthe________ofasentencetointroducetheclause.beginningmiddle位置用法：

Thoughheisoverseventy,yet/still/neverthelesshecanridethebike.⑤though和although后面的主语和谓语动词be可以省略，如果这个主语和主句中的主语指同一个人或物时，如：

Though(itwas)cold,itwasafinewintermorning.Though(hewas)wounded,yetherefusedtoleavethebattlefield.2．由as引导的特殊让步状语从句结构：

在正式文体或文学作品中，为了强调让步的含义，可用as引导让步从句。但as一般不置于句首，而将从句中的表语或状语置于句首。，如下面几种情况：1、名词+as+主语+动词Eg.

Kingashewas，hewasunhappy.Childasheis，heknowstohelpother.

说明:其中的动词通常为连系动词，也就是说位于句首的名词是其后连系动词的表语。另外，要特别注意位于句首的名词前习惯上不用冠词，即使其前有形容词修饰也不用冠词。Thoughheisaboy，helikestoplaywithgirls.Boyasheis，helikestoplaywithgirls试比较两个句子的不同之处？2、形容词+as+主语+动词Eg.Successfulasheis，heisnotproud.Eg.Patientashewas，hedidn’tlikewaitingthatlong.3、副词+as+主语+动词译一译：尽管你读得很快，你总不能在两天之内就读完这本书。Fastasyouread，youcan’tfinishthebookintwodays.
