What are subordinate clauses When a number of ideas are combined in one sentence, some ideas are more important than others. We can use subordinate clauses to express less important ideas. These can be divided into three kinds: adverbial, noun or attributive clauses. 1. ___the day went on, the weather got worse. (MET90) A. With B. Since C. While D. As 2.

If as,when,while这三个词都有“当……时候”之意，但用法有所不同。when意为“在……时刻或时期”，它可兼指“时间点”与“时间段”，所引导的从句的动词既可以是终止性动词，也可是持续性动词。as意为“一边……一边……”或“与……同时”，重在表示动作同时发生、伴随进行。while只指“时间段”，不指“时间点”，从句的动词只限于持续性动词，而且主从句的时态常用进行时。 ______ I really don’t like art, I find his work impressive.
