learn about 了解

2) population n．人口
常被看做一个整体，是人口的总称，没有复数形式。使用时要注意以下四点：
①表示 “某地有多少人口”，常使用固定结构：
Sp. has a population of…＝The population of sp. is…
例：The population of Canada is about 38 million.
＝ Canada has a population of about 38 million.
加拿大大约有三千八百万人口。
② “人口的多/少” 用形容词large/big或者small来表示，不能用many/much或few/little。
例: China has a large/big population.
中国人口众多。
③population在句中作主语的时候，谓语动词使用单数形式。
例：The population of China is more than 1.4 billion.
中国的人口超过14亿。
④询问人口多少的句型：
What’s the population of…？/ How large is the population of…？
注意：不能用how many或how much来对人口数量进行提问。
例: What’s the population of India？印度人口有多少？
3. I think travelling is a good way to learn geography.　我认为旅行是一个学习地理的好方式。
动名词（短语）作主语
该句是一个含宾语从句的复合句，在宾语从句中，travelling是动名词作主语，其后的谓语动词用单数形式；to learn geography 为动词不定式短语作后置定语，修饰a good way。
例：Learning English well is good for our future.
