Dan’s been complaining of severe headaches recently.
Neighbors complained to the police about the dogs barking.
She complained that no one had been at the airport to meet her.
Father Christmas complained about how he could not stop his helpers playing games with the toys instead of wrapping them up.

6. Interestingly, the letters did not contain the usual warnings to children that they might not receive their presents if they were not good.
interestingly的用法是常用表达,用副词(常置于句首)修饰整个句子。其他常用副词还有fortunately, luckily, thankfully, hopefully, generally speaking等。

might情态动词: 可能,表推测。主要用于肯定句和否定句。might可能性要比may小。
