Thanksgiving (the fourth Thursday in November)
Families in America get together for a big dinner. Many people eat turkey and pumpkin pie.
Chinese people eat dumplings and perform
lion and dragon dances. 这句话我们说一下名词作定语，黑体字就是名词
作定语修饰dances。名词作定语一般用单数，比如 a
pple trees 苹果树、ghost stories 鬼故事、picture books 等。 说一般用单数，那一定有特殊的，初中英语特殊的就
三个：men teachers男老师、women doctors 女医生，
还有一个运动--sports shoes 运动鞋。
People in many countries celebrate Christmas.
They often eat turkey and Christmas cakes and
give each other presents.划线部分是people的定语---很多国家的人们。每年
圣诞节都这样，那你如此--这就是典型的一般现在时，
这种时态大家需要时刻防备单三，这句话的people是复数，
所以黑体动词都是原型。
1.
It means the end of the Spring Festival.means the end of ... 意味着......的结束，说一下mean的用法： 1）mean doing mean doing sth. “意味着必须要做某事或导致某种结果”，主语通常是某事。Success means working hard.?Success means to work hard.? 2）mean to do mean to do sth. “打算或企图做某事”， 其主语通常是表人What do you mean to do with it? We mean to call you up tomorrow.We mean calling on you tomorrow.?记住不定式暗示将来的功能，这个用法不难理解。其否定式是don't mean to do sth. 表示“无意做某事”。
3）mean sb. to do sth. 意思是“打算让某人做某事”。例如：I mean you to work as our monitor. 4）mean后接名词、副词或从句意为“表示；打算；存心”等意思：后接 that 如：The sign means that the road is blocked.5）What do/did you mean by. . . ? 句型意为“你......是什么意思？例如：What do you mean by acting like this? 你这样做是什么意思？ On this day, people eat sweet dumplings ...
在具体的一天，用on；sweet dumplings 元宵。Families in America get together for a big dinner. Many people eat turkey and pumpkin pie.划线部分是families的定语，注意感恩节只有北美人过，美国人在每年11月的第四个星期四，加拿大人每年十月第二个周一。get together 团聚。
