Question

Not until he finished his work ____ go home . A. he did B. did he C. will he D. he will

为什么选B，感觉选A更顺口，这句话如何翻译，请详解，谢谢。

Answer 1

正确的语序应该是He didn't go home until he finished his homework.翻译成他直到写完作业才回家。此句子选项中语序不需要变化，根据时态选did he .在引导宾语从句时从句需要用陈述语序例如 我不知道她在哪 I don't know where he is.

追问

那不是应该选A吗？怎么选B呢？

追答

这句不是宾语从句

Answer 2

B
注意，表示否定的字、短语和从句放在句首时，句子要部分倒装，也就是说，be动词、助动词和情态动词要放到主语前头去，如：
Seldom do I go to work by bus.
Rarely does he tell a joke.
Never is he late for school.
Never have I seen such beautiful scenery.
Hardly had I sat in the chair when somebody knocked at the door.
No sooner had he had time to settle down than he sold the house and left the country.
Not only were the grandparents there, but also the cousins, the aunts and the uncles were there.
Not only does he draw illustrations, but he also writes novels.
No hope did I have at that time.
Not a word did my father say.
Never again will we make such a mistake.
但是这种部分倒装只倒装主句，从句里并没有出现否定字，所以不用倒装（not只是否定主句的谓语动词的）。希望我能帮助你解疑释惑。

Answer 3

因为这是Not until 置首的部分倒装句。
hardly, in no way, little, scarcely, seldom, never, no more, no longer, not, not only, no sooner, not only … (but also), not until… 等具有否定意义的词或词组位于句首，句子用部分倒装。

No sooner had I got home than it began to rain。
我刚到家就下起了雨。

Not until twelve o'clock did she go to bed last night .
她昨晚十二点才上床睡觉。

Answer 4

选B
这个是倒装句，由于前面的从句是否定的，主句要倒装，就是把动词和主语反过来。再比如：
Seldom do I go to work by bus.
这个是习惯用法，记住就好了。

Answer 5

直到他做完他的工作，他才回家。will表示将来，做完工作再回家，是将来的动作
