so as to, in order to, so that, in order that, so...as to和so...that
so as to和in order to 意為“為了……, 以便……”,用來引導(dǎo)目的狀語。但是so as to 不能置于句子的開頭。比如,可以說 In order to get to the company on time, he got up early,但是不能說So as to get to the company on time, he got up early。
so that和in order that意思與前面一組差不多,表示“為了……,目的在于……”,但它們引導(dǎo)的是從句。與so as to一樣,so that不能置于句首。
so...as to和so...that 意為“如此……以至于……”,so后面接形容詞或副詞。這兩者的區(qū)別是,so...as to后面接不定式,so...that則引導(dǎo)一個(gè)表示結(jié)果的狀語從句。比如He is so kind as to help others at all times一句,也可以表達(dá)成He is so kind that he helps others at all times.

before long,long before和long ago
before long意為“不久以后,很快”,相當(dāng)于soon,用在將來時(shí)或過去時(shí)中。
long before意為“老早,早就”,一般用在句末,表示“比過去某時(shí)早得多的時(shí)間”,通常與過去完成時(shí)連用。要注意的是,有時(shí)可以在句子中間看見long before,比如She had left long before his return。這時(shí)的long before并不是一個(gè)短語,而是獨(dú)立的兩部分,意為“在……的很久以前”,long之前的謂語往往使用過去完成時(shí)。
long ago意為“很久以前”,表示的是“從現(xiàn)在算起的很久以前”,通常與一般過去時(shí)連用。
