三、Grammar
【语法】A. 动词与句子结构(英语中的五种基本句型)。
【一】、过去进行时结构:was/were + 动词的现在分词
否定句则在was/were后加一个not,疑问句将was/were提前则可。
如:He was reading a book at 5:00pm yesterday.
→He was not reading a book at 5:00 yesterday.
→Was he reading a book at 5:00 yesterday (Yes, he was./ No, he wasn’t.)
→What was he doing at 5:00 yesterday
【二】、过去进行时用法:
(1)过去进行时主要表示过去某个时刻(时间点)正在进行的动作,常和过去的状语连用。 如:(just)then 那时,当时;at this/that time 在这/那时;at that moment=then在那时
at 3:00 yesterday afternoon在昨天下午三点;(at)this time yesterday在昨天这个时候
①What were you doing at nine last night 昨晚九点的时候,你在做什么?
②I was watching TV at home at 3:00 yesterday afternoon.
我昨天下午三点正在家里看电视。
③They were playing football at this time yesterday.昨天这个时候他们在踢足球。
(2)过去进行时也可以表示过去某一段时间内(时间段)正在进行的动作。常与those days,
the whole morning, from 8:00 to 12:00 last night,last night 等时间状语连用。
①From 1983 to 1998 , he was teaching at Yale . 从1983到1998年,他正在耶鲁大学教书。
②They were building a bridge last winter . 去年冬天他们正在造一座桥。
③He was writing a book those days. 那几天他正在写一本书。
(3)根据情境或上下文需要使用过去进行时。
A: I saw you in the library yesterday morning. What were you doing there
B: I was reading a book on Diaoyu Island.
(4)过去进行时常出现在含有when和while引导的时间状语从句的复合句中.
eg. ①I was playing computer games when my father got home.
= When my father got home, I was playing computer games.
② Mother was cooking while I was doing my homework.
= While I was doing my homework, mother was cooking.
★when和while与过去进行时有着密切的关系,他们作从属连词时都有“当…….时候”之意,用法稍有不同:
结论 ※a. when后常跟短动词(瞬间动词),有时也可跟长动词。
while后只能接长动词(延续性动词或be动词)。
※b. 主句和从句两个动作都发生在过去,长动作用过去进行时,短动作用一般过去时,短动作发生在长动作进行的过程当中。
※C. while连接两个长动作,当两个动作一长一短时, while(when)放在长动词的前
面,when放在短动词的前面。
(5)过去进行时和一般过去时的区别。
过去进行时表示过去某时正在进行的动作,而一般过去时则表示一个完成的动作。也就是说用一般过去时,只表示有过这件事;用过去进行时,则强调动作的连续性。
① I wrote a letter this morning. 今天上午我写了一封信。(信写完了)
I was writing a letter this morning. 今天上午我在写一封信。(信不一定写完)
② The children watched TV yesterday evening.
昨天晚上孩子们看了电视。(强调过去发生了这件事)
The children were watching TV yesterday evening.
昨晚孩子们都在看电视。(强调昨晚看电视这一动作的持续性)
【语法】B. when, while, as 用法
▲1.when,while,as 意义 “当……时候”,引导时间状语从句。
① when + 短动词或长动词
② as + 短动词或长动词
③ while + 长动词(be动词也是长动词)
▲2. ①while 连接两个长动作,两个动作同时发生。(主句和从句都是长动词,常用进行时)
Father was watching TV while mother was cooking dinner.
②as 连接两个同时发生的短动词。
Andy came into the room as Millie sat down on the sofa.
③一个长动作和一个短动作,短动作发生在长动作过程之中,也就是说,长动作先发生,短动作后发生。分两种情况:
A.主句是长动作,从句用when+短动作。
I was wathing TV when father got home.
B.主句是短动作,从句用while/as/when+长动作。
Father got home while/as/when I was watching TV.
▲3.as还有一种特殊用法,用于两个平行结构。表示:一个主语同时进行两个动作;一种状态随另一种状态的变化而变化.(意为:①一边做……一边做…… ②随着……)
① He sang as he worked. 他边工作边唱歌。
② As he grew older,he became more confident. 随着年龄的增长他变得更加自信。
▲4.when/while+ doing sth.
★ Jim found a dead cat when entering the room.
★Jim heard a loud shout while doing his homework at nine last night.
【语法】C. 重点短语句型
1. I saw you and your mother standing on the side of the road.
【see sb. doing sth. 看到某人正在做某事(感官动词用法)】
2.kick the ball 踢球
3.break down 出故障、坏掉 【break过去式 → broke】
4.because of the cold weather 由于寒冷天气
5.ring someone to come and help 打电话叫人来帮忙
6.build/make a snowman 堆雪人

3.stay low to the ground 贴着地面

8.What should we do if our building is on fire 【be on fire = catch fire】

9.use a wet towel to cover my mouth 用一块湿毛巾捂住我的嘴【use... to do... = use... for doing...】
= cover my mouth with a wet towel
10.stay away from a window 远离窗户
11. cover the burn with a clean towel 用一块干净的毛巾捂住烧伤的伤口
五、Study skills

earth + quake earthquake class + room classroom
pan + cake pancake country + side countryside
snow + ball snowball gentle +man gentleman
grand + daughter granddaughter house + work housework
grand + son grandson news + paper newspaper
black + board blackboard super + market supermarket
notice + board noticeboard公告栏
week + day weekday 中间加“-”来合成
week + end weekend north + east north-east
head + ache headache part + time part-time兼职的
★ 【注】:policeman, fisherman, Englishman,postman等是复合词,复数将a改成e.
但:Walkman, human, German不是合成词,复数在后面加s.
