威威老師的文法特快車：副詞子句與連接詞 (Adverb Clauses)
課程導航
Previous: 23 名詞子句 | Next: 25 強調句與附加問句
哈囉各位同學！我是威威老師。
來，比較這兩種寫法：
A: “I won’t go. He doesn’t come.” B: “I won’t go unless he comes.”
A 用兩句話表達；B 用「unless」一字串連兩個邏輯——更精煉、更英文！
副詞子句 (Adverb Clause) 就是英文寫作的「邏輯連接器」——用 when, because, although, if, so that 等連接詞，精準表達時間、原因、條件、讓步、目的等關係。
學測作文寫不好？很多時候是連接詞用錯！「Although…but」「Because…so」這些 Top 3 中文母語錯誤，全部源自副詞子句的混亂。
今天威威老師帶你拆解 7 種副詞子句——把英文的邏輯關係徹底搞清！
繫好安全帶 🚂
課前快問 (Pre-Quiz) — 複習 23 名詞子句
- ____ he passed the exam made his parents proud.（What / That）
- I have no idea ____ she went after school.（that / where）
- It is essential ____ every student understands the rules.（that / what）
解答
- That — 名詞子句當主詞。
- where — 名詞子句（同位語）。
- that — It is + adj + that 子句。
一、副詞子句的 7 種功能
副詞子句 (Adverb Clause) = 完整子句（有 S + V），整體當副詞用。
| 功能 | 回答問題 | 連接詞 |
|---|---|---|
| 時間 | When? | when, while, before, after, until, as soon as |
| 原因 | Why? | because, since, as, now that |
| 條件 | Under what condition? | if, unless, as long as, in case |
| 讓步 | Despite what? | although, though, even though, even if |
| 目的 | For what purpose? | so that, in order that |
| 結果 | With what result? | so…that, such…that |
| 地方/方式 | Where? How? | where, wherever, as, as if |
💡 威威核心：副詞子句 = 「句子的邏輯黏合劑」——把兩個獨立的事件用邏輯關係黏起來。
二、時間副詞子句 — When, While, Before, After…
| 連接詞 | 意思 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| when | 當…時 | When I arrived, he was sleeping. |
| while | 在…期間 | While I was reading, the phone rang. |

| after | 在…之後 | After he ate, he went out. |
| until / till | 直到 | Wait until I come back. |
| since | 自從 | I’ve lived here since I was born. |
| as | 當/一邊 | As I was walking, it started to rain. |
| as soon as | 一…就 | As soon as I heard, I called him. |
| the moment | 一…就 | The moment I saw her, I fell in love. |
| once | 一旦 | Once you learn it, you’ll never forget. |
| by the time | 等到…時 | By the time I arrived, the party was over. |
