☆教材解读☆
英语中的名词短语
在英语中,我们经常可以看到这样的短语,如:apple tree, paper bag, school trip, English test, boy friend, soccer game, baseball bat等等,这些都是名词短语,我们需要注意的是这些短语的复数形式。
We have three English tests this month.
我们这个月有三次英语测试。
There are many apple trees in the mountain.
山上有许多苹果树。
We should use more paper bags instead of the plastic bags.我们应该多用纸袋,而不是塑料袋。
【注意】 这些名词短语的复数形式都是把中心词(后一个名词)变为相应的复数形式。
trip n. 旅游; 旅行
It’s a trip of two hours by bike.
这是骑自行车需要两个小时的旅行。
