Step 5 Language points
1. It’s leaving from Platform 2. 它将从2号站台发车。

My father is flying to Zhengzhou in an hour.
一小时之后,我父亲将飞往郑州。
(2) leave from意为“从某地动身/出发”。
[拓展]

2. So am I, but I can’t miss two weeks of school.
我也是(很遗憾),但是我不能两周不上课。
“So+连系动词be/助动词/情态动词+主语”是倒装结构,表示前面所述的某一肯定的情况也同样适用于本句主语。

我父亲不会讲法语,我母亲也不会。
[注意]
(1)上面两个句型中的be动词、助动词或情态动词在时态上必须与前面的句子保持一致,在数上必须与后面的主语保持一致。
(2)“So+主语+连系动词be/助动词/情态动词”是另一个句型,它表示赞同对方所说的话,前后两个句子主语是一致的。
