【句型详解】
1.... it’s important to know how to ask for help politely.
此句句型为:It is + adj. (+ of + sb.) + to do sth.。其中it做形式主语,无意义,动词不定式做真正的主语。常用于此句型的形容词有important, difficult, dangerous, necessary, useful, possible等, 用来对to do sth. 进行说明。
如:It’s difficult for us to finish the work in an hour.
对我们来说一个小时完成这项工作很难。

如:It’s kind of you to say so.你这样说真好。
2. Both are correct, but the first one sounds less polite.
less polite 是一种________形式, 意为___________。
less + 形容词或副词, 构成降级比较形式, 相当于中文“不那么; 稍许不……”之意。
e.g. His second movie is less interesting.他的第二部电影就没那么有趣
3.It might seem more difficult to speak politely than directly.
1)__________为形式主语,无意义, 放在句首避免头重脚轻;真正的主语是动词不定式:_______________________
2)might :情态动词,可能,推测的不确定性;“有可能,也许会”,比may语气委婉,含蓄,更不确定
3)seem为连系动词,意为“________”,后接形容词或不定式。
4. Sometimes we even need to spend time leading in to a request.
spend为动词,意为“________”。含有spend的句子的主语必须是人,常用于以下结构:
1) sb. spend time / money on sth.
2) sb. spend time / money (in) doing sth.
5. wonder的用法。
“Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me.”……“打扰了,我不知道您是否能帮帮我”。
动词wonder在不同的句子结构中表达的意思不同:
1) 后接“who, what, why等疑问词引导的宾语从句”,“疑问词+不定式”时,表示“想知道”。
The teacher wondered why she was late.老师想知道她为什么迟到。
I’m just wondering how to do it.我正想知道怎么做那件事。
【针对练习】
He ____________________. 他想知道发生了什么事情。
2)后接“that引导的宾语从句”,“不定式短语”时,表示“感到惊奇,对……感到惊讶”。
