1. Cấu trúc Not Until

Not until …. : Mãi đến khi, cho đến khi

Not until S + auxiliary verb……auxiliary verb + S

Vế 1 Vế 2 (đảo trợ động từ hoặc tobe lên trước)

Như vậy vế 1 viết như thông thường, vế 2 đảo ngữ là chúng ta đã có một câu đúng ngữ pháp.

=> Mãi đến khi lên tới đỉnh, chúng tôi mới nhận ra mình đã đi được bao xa.

2. Cách viết lại câu với Not until

We couldn’t see the view of the ocean until the rain stopped.

=> Not until [the rain stopped][could we see the view of the ocean].

Cách viết lại câu:

+ Giữ nguyên vế sau until và đặt ngay sau Not until

+ Vế còn lại chuyển thành khẳng định vào đảo trợ động từ lên trước chủ ngữ

Ví dụ:

1. The protests didn’t stop until the president resigned.

=> Not until [the president resigned][did the protests stop]

Dịch: Mãi đến khi tổng thống từ chức, các cuộc biểu tình mới dừng lại.

2. I didn’t stop worrying about my daughter until she call me.

=> Not until [my daughter called me][did I stop worrying about her].
