　　英语六级考点归纳

　　与not...until句型类似的是till，二者用法的区别比较微妙，需要特别注意：

　　当主句是否定句时，意思是直到才，这时候常会使用not until的结构;如果将not until结构放在句首，那么主句要用倒装形式。如:

　　I ) He didnt go to sleep until 12 last night.

　　他昨晚直到12点钟才睡觉。

　　2 ) Not until we pointed out their fault to them did they realize it.

　　直到我们指出他们的错误，他们才意识到。

　　当主句是肯定句时，意思是直到，这时候常会使用till。如:

　　1) The students made much noise till the teacher came into the classroom.

　　直到老师走进教室，学生们才停止了吵闹。

　　2 ) Dont open it till your birthday.

　　等到你生日那天再打开。

　　另外，until可以放在句首，而till则不行。如:

　　1)Until they used up ail their money, the young couple were very happy.

　　2)Till they used up all their money, the young couple were very happy.
