用法(1)用疑问副词when问过去的事情时,需用过去式,而不用现在完成式,因此: When has she died? 是错误的用法,应作 When did she die? (2)when用作 conj.引导表示未来的副词子句时,动词常用现在(完成)式: You will be able to do that when you are a man. 当你长大成人的时候,你就能做那事。 I'll go when I've had dinner. 我吃过饭就去。 比较: I don't know when he will come. 我不知道他什么时候来。 (when在此句中引导的是名词子句,不是副词子句) (3)when所引导的子句中,主词若与主要子句的主词一致, 【文】 可省略主词与be动词;但这种用法在 【口】 中比较少: He looked in when (he was) passing. 他在经过的时候,顺便往里面看看。 短语- when all comes to all
- when due
