状语从句就是在句子中作状语的从句。状语从句有好几种，如时间状语从句、原因状语从句、条件状语从句、结果状语从句、目的状语从句等。本单元重点讲述以下三种类型的状语从句。
1).until引导的时间状语从句
until意为“直到；在........之前”。注意until和not.....until在用法上的区别。
Until：在带有till或until引导的时间状语从句里
如果主句用肯定式，其含义是“一直到……时”，谓语动词只能用延续性动词。如果主句用否定式，其含义是“直到……才……”, 谓语动词可用瞬间动词。
The young man read till the light went out. Let’s wait until the rain stops.
We won’t start until Bob come Don’t get off until the bus stops. Continue in this direction until you see a sign.

2).so that引导的目的状语从句
so that是连词，意为“为的是，以便”，引导目的状语从句。
注意so that, in order that和in order to在用法上的区别。
Let me take down your telephone number so that I can call you later.让我记下你的号码，为的是以后好打电话给你。
3). although引导的状语从句
although的用法意思相当于though（尽管，虽然），用来引导让步状语从句。它所引导的从句不能与并列连词but，and， so等连用，但可以和yet， still等词连用。
① Although the book was old, we decided to buy it.尽管这本书很旧，我们还是决定买。
