This document contains an English lesson about conjunctions that express time such as when, before and after. It includes examples of sentences using these conjunctions in both Chinese and English. There are exercises for students to practice using time conjunctions in sentences, including rearranging sentences by changing the main clause and time clause. The lesson emphasizes that the main clause expresses the main point and the time clause specifies when the main event occurred.

Note
a. A sentence begins with a capital letter, ends with a full stop, and contains a main verb,
subject and predicate (object 受詞). It also contains one or more clauses.
b. A clause is a group of words containing a subject and a verb, but is not a complete
sentence.
e.g. I like you, and you like me.
We would say that this sentence contains two clauses, rather than two
sentences.
