课文解析
1、The children were at school,my husband was at work and the house was quiet.

语法要点
The,Some and Any
1、some和any可用于不可数名词及复数可数名词之前，some通常用于肯定句，any通常用于否定句或疑问句中。但在期待得到肯定答复的疑问句中也可以用some，而在肯定句中表示“随便哪个，任何一个”的含义时也可以用any。
These are the only meat pies I have.Do you want some of them
Yes,please.Any meat pies will do.
2、有些形容词可以用于the之后（决不能用于a/an之后），表示作为整体的群体，如the blind，the deaf，the living，the dead，the rich，the poor，the young，the old。这些形容词后要跟复数动词，不可用这些形容词本身来指个体：
The Government always makes sure that the old are cared for.
This is a special school for the deaf.
如果想指单数个体，则可以说：
Sam is a young man with a lot of money.
3、当下列名词指其“主要目的”，即与其相关的动作时，要用零冠词（即名词前没有冠词）。这类名词有bed，church，class，college，hospital，market，prison，school，sea，university，work。
但在特指的东西面前要用the，泛指同类事物中的任何一个时则用a。
4、在形容词/副词的最高级前面要用the，但当most表示“大多数”时它前面则不加the。
the most最
most of the…大部分的……
most of the young people大部分年轻人
Most young men have to work hard.
Most buildings in this district belong to the government.
【Summary writing】摘要写作
1 Did the writer return home from the shops or not What did she begin to make (As soon as)
1 as soon as=when，时间状语从句引导词，as soon as强调这个动作一发生,立即就发生了另一个动作；when不强调两个动作紧密相连
4 Did she look at the mess she had made or not (After that)
after作介词,后接名词或代词作宾语；作连词,后接句子
文中“that”为代词,“after that”仅为介词短语
【Composition】作文

Two hours had passed when I smelled something burning.
…(time)passed,and then…；…(time)passed,before…
一般不会把“when”放在“…(time)passed…”之前,这是一种习惯
something burning burning放在不定代词后面,“-ing”表主动关系,即表示东西正在燃烧.
