老师您好,as soon as 表示“一...就...”引导时间状语从句,如果从句表示将来发生的动作,则用一般现在时,而主句用一般将来时。即,主将从现。我遇到一句话,是这样写的:
As soon as he opens the gate from the outside, he comes into the garden and waits until the gate shuts.
这句说中,从句用的一般现在时,而主句并没有用一般将来时,是为什么呢?
难道说 as soon as 引导的从句用一般现在时也并非一定是表示将来吗?
盼复,感谢!
唐老师:
时间状语从句用一般现在时的时候,主句的时态根据不同的需要和语境可以有多种可能:
1. 主句用一般将来时。如:
I’ll tell him as soon as I see him. 我一见到他就告诉他。
We’ll go just as soon as this weather lets up. 天气一好转,我们就出发。
We shall let you know as soon as there’s any news. 一有消息,我们就告诉你。
2. 主句用一般现在时。如:
I pay my money into the bank as soon as I get paid. 一发工资我就把钱存入银行。
3. 主句含有情态动词。如:
You must ask him to call me as soon as he comes in. 他一来你就必须让他给我打电话。
4. 主句为祈使句。如:
Don’t forget to cable us as soon as you arrive. 别忘了一到就给我们打个电报。

回答如下:
赞同唐老师的解答观点:as soon as 引导的时间状语从句,从句用一般现在时态,主句用一般将来时态,只是其中一种情况,还有以下几种情况
(1)主句(一般将来时态)+AS SOON AS +从句(过去时)
I will tell her the good news as soon as she comes back.
(2)主句(一般现在 时态)+AS SOON AS +从句(一般现在)
My family always go somewhere interesting as soon as winter holiday comes
(3)主句(一般过去)+AS SOON AS +从句(一般过去)
I gave her the letter as soon as she came back.
(4)主句(含有情态动词+行为动词原形复合谓语)+AS SOON AS +从句(一般现在时态)
You must give it to her as soon as she comes back.
(5)主句(祈使句)+AS SOON AS +从句(一般现在时态)
Remember to call me as soon as you arrive in Beijing.
