可以参考《结束蹦单词时代:外教教你用连词》,中国书籍出版社,第80-81页:
用法一
1.PleasewaitformetillIcomeback.
2.Keepstirringtheteauntilthesugarhasdissolved.
3.Mycomputerhadbeenworkingfineuptilllastnight.
4.Wewillbestayinghereupuntilthedayaftertomorrow.
5.Iwasonthephonetomyfriendupto1o'clockinthemorning.
6.HeworksfromMondaythroughtillFriday.
7.Wetalkedthroughtotheendofthenight.
以上连词表示“直到”或“直到……为止”.till、until放在主句后面,其后加从句,或和时间相关的宾语.uptill、upuntil、upto、throughtill、throughto放在主句后面,其后加和时间相关的宾语.throughtill、throughto既可以被理解为“直到、直到……为止”又可以被理解为“一直到、一直到……为止”.这些连词既是口语又是书面语.
用法二
1.Wearenothavingthemeetingtillnextweek.
2.HedidnotbelievethatIwasmaltreatedtillIshowedhimmybruises.
3.Theyhadnotreturnedtillthesunhadset.
4.Iwillnotletyoupasstillyoutellmewhat'sgoingon.
5.Theyarenotsleepinguntilyoureadthemabedtimestory.
6.Shedidnotleaveuntilmidnight.
7.IhadnotrungthepoliceuntilIwassurethattheplacewassafe.
8.Youmaynotseemeuntilaftergraduation.
9.Theperformanceisnotuntil3.00thisafternoon.
10.A:Don'tyouhaveschool?
B:NotuntilMonday.
11.A:Givemebackmybook!
B:Notuntilyouapologize!
not...till、not...until表示“直到……才”,和中文句法正好相反.not前面可以放助动词be/do/have或情态动词,till、until后面可以加宾语或从句.notuntil表示“直到”或“直到……才”,并可以用在【主语+be+notuntil+宾语】这样的句法中(宾语指时间),也可以用来回答或答复,notuntil放在句子的开头,其后加宾语或从句.这些连词既是口语又是书面语.
总的来说,until前面可以用:现在时、过去时、现在进行时、过去进行时、将来时、现在完成时、过去完成时、现在完成进行时、过去完成进行时、将来完成时;until后面除了将来时和将来完成时以外,用任何以上时态都可以.
中考可能用一般难度的时态,这不包括后面那几个时态(现在完成进行时、过去完成进行时、将来完成时)如下:
Shedoesnotworkuntiltomorrow.
Hedidnotleaveuntiltheyansweredhisquestion.
Iamnotgoinguntilyoufinishyourdinner.
Wewerenotworkinguntil6pm.
Theywillnotlistentoyouuntilyoutellthemthetruth.
Hehasnotplayedthepianountiljustnow.
Youhadnotcalledmeuntilthreedaysago.
