so that用法總結(jié)

　　下面是小編整理的一些關(guān)于so that 的用法總結(jié)， 希望讓大家更好地認(rèn)識so that 這個短語，提高英語水平。

　　一、so that引導(dǎo)目的狀語從句

　　So that“以便，為了”，引導(dǎo)一個表示目的的狀語從句，此時(shí)可與in order that 換用;從句謂語動詞中常用情態(tài)動詞may/ might, can/ could, should, would等;主從句間連接緊湊，沒有逗號相隔。

　　My old father began to study computer at the age of sixty so that (= in order that ) he might keep up with time.

　　父親六十歲時(shí)才開始學(xué)電腦，以便跟上時(shí)代。

　　I spend more time learning English every day so that (= in order that ) I can make greater progress this year.

　　為了今年取得更大進(jìn)步，我每天用了更多的時(shí)間學(xué)英語。

　　二、so that引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句

　　So that “因此，所以”，引導(dǎo)一個表示結(jié)果的狀語從句，此時(shí)不能與in order that 換用;從句中謂語根據(jù)需要使用相應(yīng)的事態(tài)，主從句之間可有逗號相隔。本文開頭所列舉例子中so that 就是這種用法。

　　又如：

　　She had not planned her time well, so that she did not finish her homework on time.

　　她沒把時(shí)間計(jì)劃好，所以沒按時(shí)完成家庭作業(yè)。

　　Wang Lang did not work hard enough, so that she is out of work when she is still young.

　　王朗工作不夠努力，因此，年輕時(shí)就失業(yè)了。

　　三、辨別兩種不同狀語從句

　　1)根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)辨別：從句謂語中含有情態(tài)動詞may/ might, can/ could, should, would等，這時(shí)so that 引導(dǎo)的是一個目的狀語從句;從句前面有逗號和主句相隔，此時(shí)so that 引導(dǎo)的是一個結(jié)果狀語從句。試對比以下兩個例句：

　　Yesterday morning Yang Cheng got up early so that she could catch the first bus.

　　昨天早上揚(yáng)程為了趕上早班車起床很早。

　　Yesterday morning Yang Cheng got up early, so that she caught the first bus.

　　昨天早上揚(yáng)程起床很早，因此，她趕上了早班車。

　　2)根據(jù)主從句邏輯關(guān)系辨別：so that 引導(dǎo)目的狀語從句，一般表示尚未完成的目的或意圖，主句和從句之間是結(jié)果與目的的關(guān)系;而so that 引導(dǎo)的結(jié)果狀語從句則是表示主句所導(dǎo)致的結(jié)果，主句和從句之間是原因與結(jié)果的關(guān)系。試比較：

　　I tell my students my new telephone number so that they may call me when necessary.我把新的電話號碼告訴學(xué)生以便必要時(shí)他們給我打個電話。

　　I told my students my new telephone number so that all of them called me when necessary. 我把新的電話號碼告訴了學(xué)生，因此，必要時(shí)他們都給我打了電話。

　　四、so that同其他結(jié)構(gòu)轉(zhuǎn)換

　　So that 引導(dǎo)目的狀語從句時(shí)，可以與表示目的的動詞不定式(not) to do.../ in order(not) to do...互換。但主從句主語須一致(句‚)，否則不能轉(zhuǎn)換(句ƒ)。

　　 We went to the airport so that we might meet Professor Yang there.

　　— We went to the airport to meet Professor Yang there.

　　— We went to the airport in order to meet Professor Yang there.

　　—We went to the airport so as to meet Professor Yang there.

　　‚ They had to walk a long way to/ in order to / so as to fetch some firewood.

　　— They had to walk a long way so that they might fetch some firewood.
