He had better stay in bed tomorrow. 他最好明天卧床休息。（将来）。
had better 的否定式是在其后加not，如：

had better 用于提出建议或请求时，并不是一个很客气委婉的表达，它暗示对方有义务去做某事，因此通常用于长辈对晚辈或上级对下级等，而不宜反过来用。

【用法辨析】
instead意为“代替”“替代”，副词，需要在一定的上下文中使用，通常位于句尾。如位于句首时，常用逗号与后面隔开。instead 在顺接句子中作“代替”讲，而在转折（或逆转）句子中作“然而”讲。不能位于祈使句的前面。
【例句】
Lily isn't here. Ask Lucy instead.
She didn't answer me, instead, she asked me another question.
instead of是介宾短语，其意与instead相同，不同之处在于它后面常接宾语，其宾语多由名词、代词、v-ing ，介词短语等充当。
【例句】
We'll ask Li Mei instead of Mary.
We’ll go there on foot instead of taking a bus.
有时，instead 与instead of可以相互转换。
【例句】
He didn't answer me, instead, he asked me another question.
→ He asked me another question instead of answering me.
I'll go instead of her. → She won't go. I'll go instead.

Grammar
1．Please fix the shelf for me．
探究点：祈使句以动词的什么形式开头？
【指点迷津】
我们常用祈使句来告诉某人做某事和不做某事。祈使句的构成方式如下：
祈使句表示请求、命令、叮嘱、号召等，谓语动词用原形；祈使句一般读降调，句末用“！”或“.”。
如：Come in! / Be careful
(1) 普通祈使句的否定式以do not(通常缩写为don't)或never(语气较强)引导。
如：Don't be careless! / Never do that again!
(2) let的宾语是第一人称时，否定式为宾语后加not; let的宾语是第三人称时，否定式常为let前加don't。
如：Let's not waste time! / Don't let them watch TV!
(3) 祈使句的主语you通常不表示出来，但如果要特别强调对方或表达某种情绪时可以有主语或称呼。
如：You be quiet! / You don't be late again! / Come in, everybody!
(4)“Do(或always)＋祈使句”表示一种强烈的感情或请求等。
如：Do come on time! / Do sit down!
(5) Please表示“请”，可在句首也可在句末（在句末时常用逗号隔开），有时也可以在句中。
Please read the text. ＝ Read the text, please.
【拓展】
let us do sth.与let's do sth.在反意疑问句中的区别：
(1) let us do sth.让（或允许）我们做某事。即提出请求，请对方允许，而对方不做，只有我们做。反意疑问句用“will you?”。
Let us have a rest，will you? 让我们休息一下，好吗？
(2) let's do sth. 咱们去做某事吧。即提出建议，反意疑问句用“shall we?”。
Let's go for a picnic，shall we? 咱们去野餐吧，好吗？
【小试牛刀】
① Read the text right now. （改为否定句） _______ _______ the text right now.
答案：Don’t read
② Let them stay here. （改为否定句） _______ _______ _______stay here.
答案：Don’t let them
2．You should not put so many books on the shelf.
探究点一：should后接动词的什么形式？
【指点迷津】
should后接动词原形，我们常用它来提出建议。
如：We should help each other.
【提醒】
should的否定式为should not/shouldn't。
如：You shouldn't get up so late.
You should help him．（改否定句）
You_______ _______him.
答案：shouldn’t help
探究点二：so many后接______________。（可数名词复数）
【指点迷津】
so many＋可数名词复数；so much＋不可数名词。
I have so many books that I can read them every day.
② 他有如此多的朋友，以至他经常很晚才回来。（根据汉语提示完成句子）
He has___________________________ that he often comes back late.
答案：so many friends
3．You had better not be late for school.你最好上学别迟到。
探究点一：had better后接动词的什么形式？
【指点迷津】
had better意为“最好”，后接动词原形，其否定式在had better后加not。
如：You had better not play football.
根据汉语提示完成句子
你最好不要玩游戏。
You______________ play games.
答案：had better not
探究点二：be late for的意思是______________。（迟到）
【指点迷津】
be late for的意思是“迟到”。如：He is often late for school.
根据汉语提示完成句子
上课别迟到。
______________ late for class.
答案：Don’t be

For example, mixing red apples, green pears, purple grapes and oranges together will make the salad look very colourful. (p.50)
【用法辨析】
For example与such as的用法及区别
1) for example和such as都可当作“例如”解，但such as用来列举事物，插在被列举事物与前面的名词之间。例如：
The farm grows various kinds of crops, such as wheat, corn, cotton and rice.
2) for example意为用来举例说明，有时可作为独立语，插在句中，不影响句子其他部分的语法关系。例如：
A lot of people here, for example, Mr John, would rather have coffee.
【注意】
(a) such as一般不宜与and so on连用.
(b) 对前面的复数名词部分起列举作用，一般不全部列出，故不可以说：
He knows four languages, such as Chinese, English, French and German.

【总结】
leave和forget均可表示“遗忘”，其区别为：
1. forget通常后接某物，不能与表示地点的副词或短语连用。如：
　Oh, I’ve forgotten my wallet.
　Don’t forget the tickets and an umbrella.
2. leave 在表示“遗忘”时，则通常要与表示地点的状语连用。如：
　Oh, I’ve left my wallet at home.
- I’ve left my watch upstairs. - I’ll go and get it for you.
　She left the bag on the bus but it may not be there any longer.
【注】有时leave连用的状语可能是疑问词where。如：Where did I leave my shopping?
It’s time for lunch. (p. 50)
【句型总结】
It’s time for + __________ = It’s time to + __________
