=Though he was a small child,he knew what was the right thing to do.

注意：a.句首名词不能带任何冠词。

b.句首是实义动词，其他助动词放在主语后。如果实义动词有宾语和状语，随实义动词一起放在主语之前。

Try hard as he will,he never seems able to do the work satisfactorily.

=Though he tries hard,he never seems…

虽然他尽了努力，但他的工作总做的不尽人意。

3)ever if,even though.即使

We‘ll make a trip even though the weather is bad.

4)whether…or-不管……都

Whether you believe it or not,it is true.

5)"no matter+疑问词"或"疑问词+后缀ever"

No matter what happened,he would not mind.

Whatever happened,he would not mind.

替换：no matter what=whatever

no matter who=whoever

no matter when=whenever

no matter where=wherever

no matter which=whichever

no matter how=however

注意：no matter不能引导主语从句和宾语从句。

(错)No matter what you say is of no use now.

(对)Whatever you say is of no use now.

你现在说什么也没用了。(Whatever you say是主语从句)

(错)Prisoners have to eat no matter what they‘re given,

(对)Prisoners have to eat whatever they‘re given.囚犯们只能给什么吃什么。

十、英语六级语法常考知识点：so

两人对话，乙方对甲方的问话常可用简短回答作出反应。例如：Do you like it?--Yes，I do.这同样适用于陈述句的场合：You worry too much.--No，I don‘t.在后一种情况下，乙方也能"So+do+主语"之类的结构表示看法。

例如甲方说"我喜欢苹果"，乙方如果想表示"我也喜欢苹果"，英语可以说：

A：I like apples.

B：So do I.(=I like apples，too。)

这里的so在意义上相当于in the same way，即同样、也那样，作简短反应表示同样看法时常用之。

就诸如此类的四种结构略作介绍。

1."So+do+主语"结构在简短反应中表示"我也如此"或"另外一个人也如此"时，也就是主语不同于上文的主语以及上文并无可用于构成倒装的动词(即操作词时)，可用此结构。例如：A：I like playing football.B：So do I./So does my brother./So did my father.如果上文有可用于构成倒装的动词时，则用相同的动词或根据不同人称用同类的动词。I must go--So must I.John can speak French.--So can I.I‘ve got a new car.--So has John.She is clever.--So is he.

2."Neither/Nor+do+主语"结构如果上文表示否定意义而在简短反应中表示同样看法时，可用此结构。例如，甲方说I can‘t swim，乙方如果想表示"我也不会游泳"，英语可以说Neither can I./Nor can I(=I can‘t either)。

又例如：A：He doesn‘t speak French.B：Neither/Nor do I.Neither/Nor does my brother.Neither/Nor does my father.关于以上两种结构，有两点说明：

第一，能用动词缩略形式。例如：I‘m going to London.---So‘s John。(is)I‘ve been to New York.---So‘s John.(has)I‘d have gone to Tokyo if I could.---So‘d John.(would)John hasn‘t got a visa.---Nor‘ve do I.(have)Jim and Mary aren‘t acting in the college play.---Neither‘s Peter.(is)

第二，上述甲乙对话如用and连成一句可出自一人之口。例如：John can speak French and so can‘t I.John can‘t speak French and neither/nor can I.John speaks French and so do I.John doesn‘t speak French and neither/nor do I.上述斜体部分相当于and I can,too/and I can‘t either/and I do too/and I don‘t either的意思。

3."So+主语+do"结构在简短反应中，对别人所说的情况加以肯定以及主语与上文主语相同时，可用此结构，注意，这里不用倒装同序;so的意义相当于indeed,certainly，即"不错"、"对了"。例如：A：John smokes a lot.B:So he does.(=He smokes a lot indeed.)这类简短反应往往带有说话人的惊奇口吻。例如：A：Look，it‘s raining!B:So it is.在这里，So it is的含义是You are right!It is raining;and this surprises me.
