辨析:as,when 和while
這三個(gè)連詞都可以連接時(shí)間狀語從句，但有差別:如果主句和從句的時(shí)間相同，以選用as較宜，表示隨著……；而when只有一般時(shí)間意義，還可以表示at that time的含義；while是個(gè)連詞，它所表達(dá)的時(shí)間通常是指整個(gè)一段時(shí)間或過程，相當(dāng)于during which time的用法。從句中常常使用進(jìn)行時(shí)，還可以表示主從句的對比。
e.g.1.They came up stair as we went down.他們上樓，我們下樓。
e.g.2.As one grows older，one becomes more experienced.人長大了，經(jīng)驗(yàn)就更豐富了。

作為連詞，as還可以引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句。
e.g.As the weather is fine,let’s go fishing.既然天氣變得好起來了，咱們?nèi)メ烎~吧。
辨析:because,since,as 和for
because，since，as引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句:
because 引導(dǎo)的從句表示直接的、根本的原因，用來回答why 提出的問題，為全句重心所在。since引導(dǎo)的從句表示顯然的或已知的理由、原因，相當(dāng)于漢語的“既然”。主句是全句意思的重心，從句次之。as 引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句，與since沒多大區(qū)別。它們引導(dǎo)的原因狀語從句，其原因已很明顯，不必加以強(qiáng)調(diào)。由as表示的原因，語氣最弱，往往譯成漢語的“由于”。
for 是個(gè)并列連詞，引導(dǎo)并列句，是對前句內(nèi)容的補(bǔ)充說明。
as還可以用作關(guān)系代詞，其含義是“正如”請看以下例子。
e.g.As you know，we have the right to vote.正如你知道的，我們有權(quán)選舉。
辨析:as和which
首先，這兩個(gè)詞意義不同。前者表示正如，后者沒有意義，只起連接作用。
其次，前者構(gòu)成的從句既可以前置又可以后置，而由后者構(gòu)成的從句則只能后置，不能前置。
再次，當(dāng)從句中有the same,such,so 時(shí)，只能用as。
比較:It is no use arguing with them,as we all see.和他們爭論是沒有用的，正如我們所看到的。（既可后置）
As we all see，it is no use arguing with them.（又可前置）正如我們都看到的,和他們爭論是沒有用的。
It is no use arguing with them,which we all see.
我們都看到了，和他們爭論是沒有用的。（只能后置）
as還可以用作介詞，其含義是“作為”。指處于某種狀態(tài)、性質(zhì)、情況、工作等之中。請看以下例子。
e.g.1.He works as a driver.他以開汽車為業(yè)。e.g.2.The kitten uses that box as a bed.小貓把那盒子當(dāng)作床。
辨析:as和like
當(dāng)作介詞的時(shí)候，as只用于以下情況：
1.用作“作為”講的時(shí)候。
2.用來舉例，比如用來代替for example的時(shí)候；
3.用來引導(dǎo)某些動詞，如:look upon，regard，consider，treat，think of等的賓語的補(bǔ)語的時(shí)候。
e.g.1.As a writer，he has no equal.作為一個(gè)作家，他是首屈一指的。
e.g.2.Languages（such）as English，German，Dutch belong to the same family.

=Not until she took off her dark glasses did I realize she was a famous film star.
◇ It is clear (obvious, true, possible, certain…) that…
該句型中it是形式主語，真正的主語是that引導(dǎo)的主語從句。例如：
It is very clear that he’s round and tall like a tree. =That he’s round and tall like a tree is very clear.
It is important that we (should) learn English well
It is necessary that he (should) remember these words.
◇ It is said (reported, learned…) that…
該句型中的it仍是形式主語，真正主語是that引導(dǎo)的主語從句。該結(jié)構(gòu)常譯為“據(jù)說（據(jù)報(bào)道，據(jù)悉……）”。例如：
It is said that he has come to Beijing.
It is reported that another earth satellite has been put into orbit.
It is suggested that the meeting (should) be put off.
◇ It is time (about time, high time) that…
該句型中that后的從句應(yīng)該用虛擬語氣。例如：
It is time that children should go to bed. =It is time that children went to bed.
◇ It is the first (second…) time that…
主句如果是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，后面從句用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)態(tài)；如果是一般過去時(shí)，后面從句則用過去完成時(shí)態(tài)。
該句型中的that從句用完成時(shí)態(tài)。該結(jié)構(gòu)中that可以省去；it有時(shí)用this替換。常譯為“是第一（二、三……）次……”。例如：
It is the first time I have been here. =This is the first time I have been here.
It is…since…
該句型主要用作處理瞬間動詞的完成時(shí)和表示一段時(shí)間的時(shí)間狀語連用的問題。例如：
It is (has been) 5 years since his father died.
It is 5 years since he joined the army.自從他參軍5年了。
▲ It is 5 years since he was in the army.自從他退伍已經(jīng)5年了。
◇It be…before…
該句型主句中的it指時(shí)間，主句中的時(shí)態(tài)常是一般將來時(shí)或過去時(shí)兩種時(shí)態(tài)。例如：
It was 3 days before he went to Beijing.
It will be not long before he finishes his job.
◇It happens (seems, looks, appears) that…
該句型中it是形式主語，that引導(dǎo)的是主語從句，主句中的happen, seem等詞是不及物動詞。例如：
It happened (so happened) that he met his teacher in the street.
It seems that he will be back in a few days.
◇It is no good (use) doing sth.
主句中的表語可以是no good, (not any good), no use (not any use)。例如：
It is no good learning English without speaking English.
◇It doesn’t matter whether (if)…
該句型中whether (if) 引導(dǎo)的從句是真正主語，該句型常譯為“不論（是否）……沒關(guān)系……”。例如：
It doesn’t matter if they are old.
◇ It is kind (of sb.) to do sth.
常見的這類形容詞有：bad, brave, careless, clever, cruel, foolish, good, honest, kind, lazy, nice, polite, rude, wise, wrong等。
該句型中的不定式短語是真正主語，如果不定式的邏輯主語是由of引起，主句中的形容詞必須是能表示邏輯主語特征的形容詞。這個(gè)句型可以改寫為：sb. is kind to do sth.例如：
It is kind of you to say so.=You are kind to say so.
◇ It is necessary (for sb.) to do sth.
常見的這類形容詞有：important, necessary, natural, easy, safe, common, normal, hard, difficult, dangerous, impossible, pleasant等。
該句型與上一個(gè)同屬一種句型。如果不定式的邏輯主語是由for引起，主句中的形容詞通常是表示重要性、緊迫性、頻繁程度、難易、安全等情況的形容詞。例如：
It is important for her to come to the party. =It is important that she (should) come to the party.
◇ We think it important to learn a foreign language.
主句中常用的動詞：think, believe, make, find, consider, feel
作真正賓語的三種形式：不定式短語、動名詞短語或that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句。
該句型中的it作形式賓語。例如：
We think it our duty to clean our classroom every day. He felt it important learning English well.
They found it difficult that they would finish their work in two days.
