go to the +地点 表示去某地干嘛
go to the theatre = go to the theatre to see a play去剧场看戏
go to the cinema =see a film 去电影院看电影
go to the dairy 去牛奶店
go to the + 人 + 's 表示去这个人开的店

以下短语中名词前不加冠词:
go to school 去上学;go to church 去做礼拜;go to hospital(医院) 去看病;go to bed 上床,睡觉;go home(跟home相连一定表示没有事情可做,回家休息)

4、I got very angry.
get 在这里有“逐渐变得”的含义,接近 become,是个表示过程的动词,表示状态的变化。而I was very angry则仅表示当时的状态是生气,并不暗示过程。
I am/was angry. 是一个事实
I got angry. 强调变化过程
It is hot.
It got hot.
got 取代be动词,got是一个半联系动词,可以直接加形容词。

7、I can't hear a word!

He didn't say a word.

one’s business 指某人(所关心的或份内)的事

None of your silly remarks! 别说傻话了!

【Key structures】
过去进行时
过去进行时的构成:be的过去式+现在分词
过去进行时和一般过去时经常同在一个句子里使用。过去进行时表示过去正在进行的动作或情况,一般过去时则表示比较短暂的动作或事件。正在进行中的动作或情况往往由连词 when,while,as,just as等引导。
when,while 当……时候(强调动作同时发生)
while+从句, 动词一定是延续性动词
when+延续性动词/瞬间动词
while能用when代替,但是when却不一定能用while代替。while通常只引导持续时间较长的动作,并且主句和从句可以同时用过去进行时,而 when和as一般不这么用。
John was watching TV while his wife was talking with a neighbour over the phone.
Just as I was leaving the house, you came in.
when也可以引导比较短暂的动作,while和 as则一般不行。
We were having supper when the lights went out.
过去进行时往往与表示一段时间的状语连用,如 all morning,all night,all day,all evening,the whole week等,表示这段时间一直在干什么。
What were you doing all evening I couldn’t find you anywhere.
过去动作同时发生的时态
① 过去两个动作同时发生, 习惯上一个用一般过去时, 另一个用过去进行时;动作长用过去进行时, 动作短用一般过去时; 分工的情况, 动作的开始时间和结束时间几乎相同, 均用过去进行时;
I was listening to the radio, my sister was dancing.
When my mother was doing the housework, my father was watching TV.
② 两个动作在同时段进行, 在不同时间结束, 先发生的动作未结束, 另一个动作发生, 先发生的动作用进行时态, 另一个动作用过去时.
When I was opening the door, the telephone rang.先开门
When the telephone was ringing, I opened the door. 电话先响
③ 瞬间动词(如:arrive)没有进行时态, 所以两个动作同时发生, 延续性动词用进行时态, 瞬间动词使用过去时态.
When he arrived, I was having dinner.
I am arriving 进行时态表示将要
Exercises D
1 As my father ______ (leave) the house, the postman ______ (arrive).
was leaving;arrived(两个瞬间动词同时发生可能性很小, 应具体分析, 故用进行时态表将来)
5 While mother ______ (prepare) lunch, Janet ______ (set) the table.
set the table摆桌子
was preparing;set
【Special Difficulties】
短语动词中的小品词
许多动词加上介词或副词后就会改变词义,这些介词和副词通常被称为小品词。它们没有词形的变化。
有些小品词既可以作介词又可以作副词。判断一个小品词是副词还是介词要看小品词有没有带宾语。有宾语的是介词,没有宾语的是副词,介词的位置相对固定,不能变动。
① vi.&vt.+ prep./adv.+宾语(n.)
She is walking up the hill.
② vt.+宾语(n./pron.)+adv.
take off the coat =take the coat off =take it off
put on your shoes =put your shoes on =put them on
I always take money with me.我身上总带些钱
Exercise
11 They have pulled down the old building.
pull down… (pull
;down)
pull one's leg 开玩笑
You are pulling my leg.你开我玩笑
12 Make up your mind.
make up…--->make up one's mind 习惯用法不换,语法上可换
13 He asked for permission to leave.
ask for…-->ask (sb.) for sth. 其实是省略sb.故不可换
★Lesson 8 The best and the worst
★competition n. 比赛,竞赛(暗地里的竞争)
race n. 比赛,竞赛
car race
match n. 比赛

clean adj. 干净的

tidy (up) the room 整理房间
★pool n. 水池(人工的)
swimming pool 游泳池

【课文讲解】

Joe's garden is the most beautiful.
Bill's garden is the largest.
Bill’s garden is larger than Joe’s.
(比较的东西都是同类的事物 joe’s 的“’s”不能省略)
2、Nearly everybody enters for 'The Nicest Garden Competition' each year, but Joe wins every time.
nearly和almost意义相似,表示“几乎”、“ 差不多”、“ 差 点儿”的意思。
I have nearly forgotten his name. 我差点把他的名字忘了。
I’m nearly/almost ready. 我快准备好了。
enter for 报名参加(各种竞赛,考试等活动)
win(won,won) v. 赢

win something 后面往往是奖品,不能接对手
I win the book.
I win the gold cup.
win a prize 赢得了一个奖
win a prize for… 因为……而获奖
defeat+对手
I defeat you.
3、Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's.
名词加-’s表示所属关系,构成名词的所有格。这类名词往往指有生命的东西,特别是人。所有格的语法作用相当于形容词,限定后面的名词。这个被限定的名词在上下文中第二次被提到时可以省略,只要不引起误解。
4、He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool.
make和build在这里是同义词,“修建,建造”。make 的词义比较笼统、广泛,可解释为“做、作出、制造”等,而 build主要限于建筑业,指“建造,建设,盖房子,修筑(桥梁)等”
Have you made the skirt by yourself
They have made a road along the river.
【Key structures】
形容词和副词的比较级和最高级
比较级相当于汉语中“比……更……”这种句型,最高级则表示在某个范围“最……”的概念。最高级在使用时前面通常要加定冠词 the,并有一个短语或从句限定其范围。
1、比较级和最高级的构成:
① 单音节词和少数双音节词在词尾加-er,-est,以辅音加-y结尾的词变-y为-i,再加-er,-est
② 以-e结尾的词加-r,-st
③ 以一个辅音字母结尾的单音节词要双写最后一个字母,再加-er,-est
④ 三个或者是三个音节以上(多音节)
比较级的构成 : more+原级
最高级的构成 : the most+原级
有一些双音节词既可在单词结尾加-er,-est,也可与 more/less 和 most/least连用,如 narrow,clever,common,pleasant等。
clever— cleverer— more clever
fun adj. 快乐
more fun (美国人用)
⑤ 有些构成是不规则的:
good/well(better best);bad/ill(worse worst);many/much(more most);little(less least);
far(farther further , farthest furthest) (farther:距离上的远和更远,further:程度上的更进一步)
further more(更有甚者)
old(older elder, oldest eldest)
older 比……大
She is older than somebody
elder 做定语修饰其他名词
elder sister (年长的)姐姐
2、比较级和最高级的用法
在使用比较级时,如果需要把所比较的两项都提到,那么就必须比较级后用than:
My room is cleaner than the one next door.
如果比较级之所指很清楚,它可独立存在:
Which house do you prefer
I prefer the older one.
最高级的限定范围一般用 of,among,in 等介词短语;限定范围也可以是从句;如果范围很清楚,则可以省略。
John is the tallest of the three brother.
This is the coldest day in ten years.
Mary is the most intelligent person I’ve ever met.
【Special Difficulties】
every构成的合成词
every和one,body,thing可以构成复合不定代词everyone,everybody,everything。Everyone和everybody一般可以替换使用,后面的代词既可以用单数,也可以用复数,但它们本身均被视为单数。
Everyone/Everybody knows what he has to do.
=Everyone/Everybody knows what they have to do. 每个人都知道自己必须做什么。
Everything is going well. 一切都很顺利。
each 和 every均可译为“每一个”,两者常可互换。every只能是形容词性,强调整体,常用来指一个大的、不确定的数目,不能直接做主语;each既可作形容词,又可作代词,强调个体,常用以一个确定的并通常是有限的数目,在作代词时,直接作主语或宾语,使用第三人称单数
Every/Each time I wash the car it rains.
