The time在定语从句中作状语，故用when来引导。注意：time作先行词，前面如有序数词或last修饰时，不用关系副词when, 只能用that(可省去)；但前面如无序数词或last,则既可用when又可用that引导。Eg. 1) Do you still remember the time when we first met?你还记得我们第一次见面的时候吗？ 2） He came at a time when we were badly in need of help.正当我们需要帮助时，他来了。 3） This is the last time that I shall give you a lesson.这是我最后一次给你们上课。 4） The first time that I saw Premier Zhou was 1958.我第一次见周总理是在1958年。】 I was twelve years old.译文：我12岁。 It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer 皮袍to whom I went for advice.译文：那是在1952年，曼德拉是位黑人律师，我去向他求建议。【注释：to whom I went for advice是定语从句，修饰前面的先行词the black lawyer. 其中go to sb. for advice,意为“向某人求建议”。】

Whenever my boss es me out of work, he finds something for me to do.无论何时只要我的老板看见我无事干时, 他就找些事情给我做。 worry about担心;烦恼 eg.
