【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：

等同于：He saw the bird when he opened the door. 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‖，例如： He liked playing basketball when he was young. 他年轻的时候，就喜欢打篮球。 2. 从句的动作发生在主句动作之前，例如：

After Simon does his homework, he listens to music.西蒙做完家庭作业后，他就去听音乐。 Before Mary went to bed, she drank some milk. 玛丽在睡觉之前，喝了些牛奶。 注意：当主句是将来时的时候，从句要用一般现在时。
