在初中英语中，将复合句变为简单句有一定的模式，现举几例，供同学们参考。 一、用too...to或enough to将含有so...that结构的复合句变为简单句。如：
1.He is so young that he can’t go to school.
→He is too young to go to school.
或He is not old enough to go to school.
2.He has so much money that he can buy a car.
→He has enough money to buy a car.
二、把及物动词引导的由陈述句变成的宾语从句变为“及物动词+动词不定式（短语）”结构，由此将复合句变为简单句。如：
1.He hopes that he will be back soon.
→He hopes to be back soon.
2.I want that I will speak to you.
→I want to speak to you.
三、把疑问代词或疑问副词引导的宾语从句变为“疑问词+动词不定式（短语）”结构，由此将复合句变为简单句。如：
1.Tell me where we’ll go.
→Tell me where to go.
2.Can you tell me how I can get to the zoo?
→Can you tell me how to get to the zoo?
四、把if引导的否定的条件状语从句变为“without +名词/代词/动名词”结构，由此将复合句变为简单句。如：
1.We can’t live if there is no air.
→We can’t live without air.
2.Hecouldn’tfinishtheworkifyou didn’t help him.
→He couldn’t finish the work without your help.
五、把感官动词引导的宾语从句变为“感官动词+ sb. do / doing sth.”结构，由此将复合句变为简单句。如：
1.He saw some children were playing football on the road.
→He saw some children playing football on the road.
2.I often heard that she sang in the next room.
→I often heard her sing in the next room.
六、把连词引导的时间状语从句变为表示时间的介词短语，由此将复合句变为简单句。如：
1.Please come here after school is over.
→Please come here after school.
2.I have taught at this school since it opened in 1991.
→I have taught at this school since 1991 / fourteen years ago.
或I have taught at this school for fourteen years.
七、把带有“as +形容词/副词+ as sb. can / could” 结构的状语从句变为“as +形容词/副词+ as possible”结构，由此将复合句变为简单句。如：
1.I will return it as soon as I can.
→I will return it as soon as possible.
2.She got a medicine box as quickly as she could.
→She got a medicine box as quickly as possible.
