高考英语 AS的用法总结（详细）

As 的用法（一） as 作连词的用法: 1.作“在。。。期间，当。。。的时候”引导时间状语从句. as 与 when，while 都是引导时间状语从句的从属连词，含义都是"当……的时候"。但它们有区别：用 when 时，从句的动作可以与主句的动作同时发生，也可以先于主句的动作发生；用 while 时，从句的动作为一过程，主句动作与从句动作同时进行或在从句动作过程中发生；用 as 时，主句和从句的动作同时发生，具有延续的含义。 ① 下列情形时,只用 as, 而不用 when 或 while。 1)用于表示同一个人的两种动作交替进行,指一边----一边. 如: The girl sings as she goes to school.
