Grammar focus 语法
1. It was Sunday. 那是个星期天。
在英语中，it的用法比较广泛，可指时间、天气、距离等。如：
It is eight o'clock.
现在是八点钟。
It is very cold today.
今天很冷。
It is ten miles to our school.
到我们学校有10英里远。
It还可以指不明身份的人。如：
Who's knocking at the door It's me.
谁在敲门？是我。
2. I never get up early on Sundays. 星期天我从来不早起。
频率副词never表示从不，常见频率副词按照动作频率从高到低排列如下：
always 一直 100%
usually 通常 80%
often 经常 60%
sometimes 有时 40%
seldom 很少 20%
never 从不 0%
频率副词通常放在实义动词之前，如下文中的句子：
I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime.
有时我要一直躺到吃午饭的时候。
sundays是复数，表示这是一个经常性的行为，每一个周日都是这样。
3. I looked out of the window. 我望望窗外。
look out of…向……外看。和look相关的词组还有：
look into sth. 调查某事。如：
We have to look into the accident. 我们必须对这次事故作调查。
look over sth. 仔细检查。如：
I think you should look over these figures again.
我想你应该再把这些数字核实一遍。
look up 查找。如：
Look up the dictionary if you meet some new words.
如果你遇到不认识的单词，请查字典。
4. What a day！鬼天气！
这句话是一个省略的感叹句，完整的句子应该是：What a day it is! 这句话也省略了形容词，根据上下文，我们知道这是一句抱怨的话，所以翻译为鬼天气。当然肯定意义的感叹句What a beautiful day it is. 也可以省略为What a day. 这时则表示多么美好的一天啊！由What引导的感叹句，其句子结构为：What+a/an+形容词+名词+主语+谓语（主语和谓语通常被省略）。如：
What a beautiful garden (it is)!
多美的花园啊！
What a handsome boy (he is)!
多么英俊的男孩啊！
由how引导的感叹句，其句子结构为：How+形容词+(a/an)+主语+谓语（在上下文中，主语和谓语也可以省略）。what引导的感叹句，也可以改写为由how引导的感叹句。如：
How beautiful a garden (it is).
How handsome a boy (he is).
这两个感叹句也可以表达为：
How beautiful (the garden is).
How handsome (the boy is)!
5. I'm coming to see you. 我这就来看你。
本句是用现在进行时表示即将发生的动作。
现在进行时的结构为：be+doing. 通常表示现在正在进行的动作。如文中的句子：
It's raining again.
又下雨了。
I'm having breakfast.
我正在吃早饭。
当现在进行时与go, come, leave, die等瞬间动词连用时。则表示即将发生的动作。如：
She is coming to help us on Sunday.
她星期天要来帮我们。
The old man is seriously ill, and he's dying.
这位老人病得很严重，他快要死了。
6. Dear me! 天啊！
这是一个由感叹词构成的感叹句。感叹词是用来表示说话时，喜怒哀乐等情感的词，他不构句子成分。如：
Oh, what a pity! I am going to a party.
哦，真可惜！我要去参加一个聚会。
Ah, this coffee is good.
啊，这咖啡真好。
My god, you scared me!
我的天哪，你吓死我了！
