Guided by the framework of structural construction and based on the E-Prime experimental generation system, the reading time method and detection technology are used to investigate the differences of reading comprehension between conditional adverbial clauses which presented by two ways — preposition and postposition among native Chinese college students. It is found that there are significant differences in reading time and understanding between the preposition and postposition of conditional adverbial clauses in English reading. The results show that both at the sentence level and at the text level, the postposition structure is more difficult to characterize than the preposition structure, which affects the reading speed and the accuracy of understanding. The study aims to improve English reading teaching.
