用法
這個短語用的比較常用,口語和書面語都可以.它的特點是,在句子中的位置比較靈活,而且可以用於各種時態。
舉例
1、指未發生的動作，規律是：主句一般將來時,從句用一般現在時代替一般將來時
如：I will tell him the news as soon as he comes back.
註：有時,為了特意表達剛剛完成某事就如何如何,需要用現在完成時
如：I will go with you as soon as I have washed my face.
2、指緊接著發生的兩個短動作，主從句都用一般過去時
如 He took out his English books as soon as he sat down.
不過，我也見過從句和主句都用一般現在時的情況
如：As soon as he finishes his classwork, he runs out of the class.他一做完課堂作業，就跑出了教室。
總之,記住那兩種基本的情況，不把時態用得太混亂了就行了（比如後面從句里用了將來時，就絕對不允許了）。
