七、结果状语从句

结果状语从句常由so that, so…that, such…that等引导，放在主句之后，so…that与such…that句型在一定条件下可转换。如：He made such an excellent speech that everyone admired him.= He made so excellent a speech that everyone admired him.他的演讲如此精彩以至于每个人都很钦佩他。注意so that引导结果状语从句和目的状语从句的辨别so that从句之前有个逗号的常为结果状语从句，因表示某一行为带来的结果，从句中的时态常为过去式;so that从句中有may(might)，can(could)，should, will等情态动词的通常是目的状语从句。如：I wrote as clearly as possible, so that I got high marks.(目的)我尽可能地写清楚些，这样可以得高分。He went to the lecture early so that he could get a good seat.(目的)他很早就去听报告了，以便可以找到一个好座位。

He went to the lecture early, so that he got a good seat.(结果)他很早就去听报告了，这样他就找到一个好座位。
