状语从句

含义：一个句子做状语^{(描述时间、原因、方式、结果...)}对主句进行补充。

位置：围绕着主句展开，可放到句首、句中、句尾。

• When he comes back, I will let you know. ^{主句前(时态状语从句)}
• I will let you know, when he comes back. ^主句后
• I, when he comes back, will let you know. ^{插入句中 (做插入语，容易出错，所以不建议写)}

写法：主句 + 从属连词 + 完整的陈述句 ^{状语从句的“从属连词”不做成分，只表示逻辑关系(原因、条件、让步...)，状语从句的类型由“从属连词”决定！}
