2. I can teach you how to make more money…
how to make more money为“疑问代词+动词不定式”结构。“疑问词+动词不定式”结构常放在ask; decide; forget; know; learn; show; teach; tell等动词之后作宾语。例如:

【拓展】
(1) 特殊疑问词+动词不定式,在句中可以作主语,宾语和表语。例如:

(2) 含有“疑问词 + 动词不定式”作宾语的句子通常可与含有宾语从句的复合句相互转换。
例如:
Please tell me when to meet tomorrow. = Please tell me when we will meet tomorrow.
请告诉我明天我们什么时候见面。
Tom doesn’t know which to choose. = Tom doesn’t know which he should choose.
Tom不知道该选哪一个。
3. From then on he was not lazy any more.
not…any more意为“不再”。not常位于be动词、情态动词或助动词之后,any more常位于句末,相当于no more。no more常位于句中,放在be动词之后,实义动词之前,两者经常可以互换。例如:
He doesn’t live here any more. = He no more lives here. 他不再住在这里了。
【拓展】
表示“不再”的词还有not…any longer或no longer。二者的区别在于:
(1) not…any more = no more,表示数量或程度上的“不再”增加,通常修饰终止性动词。例如:
The baby isn’t crying any more. = The baby is no more crying. 这个婴儿不再哭了。
(2) no longer = not…any longer表示时间或距离上的“不再”延长,通常修饰延续性的动词。例如:
I can’t stand it any longer. 我对此再也不能忍受下去了。
4. 1. Some words have both a strong form and a weak form.
句子中的both...and相当于一个连词,意思是“不但……而且”,它可以连接两个名词、形容词或者介词短语等,如果连接两个主语的时候,谓语动词常用复数形式。例如:
Both my father and mother are doctors. 我的父亲和母亲都是医生。
He speaks both English and French. 他既会说英语还会说法语。
【拓展】
(1) both...and的否定短语是neither...nor,意思是“既不……也不……”。
It's neither too cold nor too hot. 天气既不太冷也不太热。
Neither boys nor girls are interested in it. 男孩子和女孩子对此都不感兴趣。
(2) neither…nor连接两个主语的时候,谓语动词要和最近的主语一致。
Neither he nor I am a teacher.他不是老师,我也不是老师。
5. He makes the class really interesting.
make作使役动词,意为“使……;让……”讲时,常构成make + 宾语(sb./sth.) + 形容词/名词(作宾补),即make sb. / sth. + adj./n.。例如:
What he said makes us happy. 他所说的话使我们很高兴。
We made John our monitor. 我们选约翰当班长。
【拓展】
(1) make + sb.+形容词,make是谓语动词,sb.是make的宾语,后面的形容词在此作宾语补足语。例如:
Rainy days make me sad. 雨天让我很悲伤。
What he said made the teacher angry. 他说的话让老师很生气。
(2) make + sb. + 过去分词,此处的过去分词相当于形容词作宾补。例如:
Waiting for him in the rain made me annoyed.
在雨中等他让我很烦。
(3) make + sb. +动词原形,此处的动词原形也叫省略to的不定式作宾补。例如:
Sad movies always make me cry. 伤感的电影经常让我哭泣。
Loud music makes her want to dance. 高声的音乐让她想跳舞。
(4) be made to+动词原形,此处是make的被动语态,要还原动词不定式的to,即be made to do sth意为“被使做某事”。 例如:
The boss made him work for 15 hours a day.
→He was made to work for 15 hours a day by the boss.
老板使他一天工作15个小时。
