Grammar
1. unless是连词，意为“除非；如果不”，
引导条件状语从句，含有否定意义，相
当于if ... not 。
注意：unless引导条件状语从句时，如果
主句是一般将来时，从句用一般现在时
表将来。如：

rain.
doesn’t
2. as soon as是连词词组，引导时间
状语从句，意为“一……就……”。

Practice
Fill in the blanks with unless, as soon as or so… that.
点拨：分析句子结构可知，后一句“继姐让她做所有的家务”是主句，上一句“她的父亲死后”应是句子的时间状语。因此，应用as soon as来引导时间状语从句。 as soon as 意为“一……就”，时态遵循“主将从现；主过从过”的原则。
1. ___________ her father died, the
stepsisters made her do all the chores.
As soon as
点拨：分析句意可知“忙”所导致的结果是“没有时间为聚会做一件礼服”。
so… that… 意为“如此……以至于”，常用于结果状语从句，表示上文动作所产生的结果，故空格处应用so…that。前后句时态，要保持一致。
2. She was ____ busy _____ she had no time
to make a dress for the party.
so that
3. The mice knew that _______ they helped
her make a dress, she would not be able
to go to the party.
点拨：句意“公主知道，除非他们帮她做一件礼服，否则她就不能去参加那个晚会。”可知前一句是后一句的条件。
unless意为“除非；如果不”，引导条件状语从句，相当于if条件状语从句的否定句；时态遵循“主将从现；主过从过”的原则。
unless
点拨：句意“王子一看到她，就爱上了她”，可知上一句应为一时间状语从句，故应用as soon as来引导， 表示“一……就”之意。
4. ___________ the prince saw her, he fell in
love with her.
As soon as
点拨：句意“王子知道，除非女孩的脚与鞋子合适，否则就不是他要的女孩”，可知上下句之间存在条件关系, 故应用unless一词。
5. The prince knew ______ the girl’s foot
could fit the shoe, it was not the right girl.
unless
6. The new couple were _____ happy ______
they couldn’t stop smiling when they got
married.
so that
