Step 8 Study Grammar
1. 感叹句
当我们想表达一种较为强烈的感情，如喜悦、赞叹、惊异、愤怒、厌恶等时，可以用感叹句。这种句式常用what作为句子的开头。其基本结构为“What + 强调或感叹的部分(+句子的主语和谓语动词)”。句子的主谓部分常常可以省略。
What a beautiful city! 多漂亮的城市啊!
What nice weather!多好的天气啊!
What a horrible thing to do! 这事多让人害怕啊!
What a beautiful flower (it is)! 多么美的花啊!
What nice people (they are)! 他们是多么好的人啊!
What nice weather (we’re having)!多好的天气啊!
思考：什么时候用What a … 什么时候用What…
当what后面修饰的名词是可数名词单数时, what后面用不定冠词a/an; 当what后面修饰的名词是不可数名词或可数名词复数时，what后面没有冠词。
2.选择疑问句
选择疑问句中or所连接的可以是不同的内容，如两个名词(the father or the son)、两个动词 (call or email)、两个介词短语 (by bus or by car)、专有名词 (Mozart or Strauss)等。
注意：or所连接的内容一定是并列的，如果or的前面是名词，其后也应该是名词；如果是动词，则其后也必须是动词，不能前面是名词，后面却接一个动词。
—Is this by Strauss or Mozart
—It’s by Strauss.
—Do you like traditional Western music or pop music
—Well, I like both.
Is it by the father or the son
Would you like coffee, tea or soda
