一、条件状语从句（重点）
关联词：if 、as……long……as、once
例如：If the study of law is beginning to establish itself as part and parcel of a general education, its aims and methods should appeal directly to journalism educators.

二、让步状语从句（重点）
注意：让步状语从句不好理解，大家要注意哦!!表面上表示退一步，但是是为了进一步。即以退为进。
关联词：though、although、 even if、even though表示尽管……但是……
只是句子的一半，表面上表示让步，但是暗含转折。翻译成：尽管……/虽然……。后面省略了但是。

四、方式状语从句（用得非常少）
用as 、 as if 引导。

状语从句中的连接词as一定要注意。太特别了，有四个意思：
1、“当......时候”引出时间状语从句。
2、“因为”引出原因状语从句。
3、“和......相比较”引出比较状语从句。
4、“按照......方式”“如同”引出方式状语从句。
5、“尽管”引出让步状语从句。
前两个最常用。
注意：如果用as引导的且后面是一个完整的陈述句，那么这个就是状语从句的连接词，至于是什么状语从句，可以根据上下文来判断是什么状语从句。如果as后面的句子缺成分，那么是引出的定语从句。
