语法：When引导的时间状语从句＆used to
【when引导的时间状语从句】

等同于：He saw the bird when he opened the door. 当她六岁时，她会下棋。 从句 主句
等同于：She could play chess when she was six years old.
时间状语从句也可以由after（在...之后），before（在...之前），as soon as（一...就..) until(直到...才） while（在...同时）等引导。

3. 当描述将来发生的动作时，主句使用一般将来时，when引导的时间状语从句用一般现在时（类似if\ unless \until \as soon as）

语法：When引导的时间状语从句＆used to
【when引导的时间状语从句】
在复合句中，由连接词when引导的状语从句是时间状语从句。
例子： 当他打开门时，他看到了这只鸟。 从句 主句
等同于：He saw the bird when he opened the door. 当她六岁时，她会下棋。 从句 主句
等同于：She could play chess when she was six years old.
时间状语从句也可以由after（在...之后），before（在...之前），as soon as（一...就..) until(直到...才） while（在...同时）等引导。
其具体体现在以下几个方面：
1. 从句的动作和主句动作同时发生，意为―当……时；在……的时候‖(注意主句和从句时态上的一致性)
例如：He liked playing basketball when he was young.
他年轻的时候，就喜欢打篮球。
When Lucy was ten years old, she was interested in playing the piano.
露西十岁的时候，就对弹钢琴感兴趣。
2. 从句的动作发生在主句动作之前(.When引导的时间状语从句+祈使句：表示请求或申明规则)
例如：When you get there, please tell Lucy to call me back.
你到那后，请告诉露西给我回电话。
Come here to find me when you finish you homework.
你做完作业后，来这儿找我。
3. 当描述将来发生的动作时，主句使用一般将来时，when引导的时间状语从句用一般现在时（类似if\ unless \until \as soon as）
A. 条件状语从句的主句是一般将来时，那么从句常常用一般现在时。
如：When I grow up, I’ll be a nurse and look after patients.
我长大后要当一名护士，照顾病人
When I get home this evening, I’m going to have a shower immediately.
我今晚到家就会马上洗澡。
B. 如果主句是祈使句，那么从句通常要用一般现在时
如：Don’t laugh at me when I make a mistake.
我犯错误的时候不要笑话我。
C. 如果主句是含有情态动词的一般现在时，根据需要从句多用一般现在时
如：You should be quiet when you are in the reading room 在阅览室时应保持安静
