【拓展】during;in与for
(1) during指“在……时间内,在……的期间”。谓语动词常为表示持续性的动作或状态的动词,时间段前常有限定词(the; 物主代词等),表特指。例如:
He asked many questions during the three meetings. 在这三次会议期间,他问了许多问题。
(2) in意为“在……时间内”,一般情况下可以和during互换,用in时往往强调某一动作发生在某一时间段中的某一时间点;during既可表示“在整个时间段期间”,也可表示“某时间段内的某个时间点”。例如:
Mike put his hand up three times during/in the class. 在这节课内,Mike举了三次手。
(3) for意为“(时间)长达……”,强调时间由始至终,动作也贯穿这段时间的始终,可以和完成时连用。强调持续时间的长短,回答how long的提问;而during则是指动作所发生的时间,回答when的提问。例如:

2. in 100 years
in 100 years意为“100年之后”,是由“介词in + 一段时间”构成,表示“在……之后”,多用于一般将来时。对此短语提问时常用how soon。例如:

表示数词的还有thousand“千”,million“百万”,billion“十亿”。它们的用法和hundred一样,可以用来表示约数和确数。be able to意为“能够做某事”。able为形容词,意为“有能力的;能干的;会”。able前面加前缀“un”,表否定。例如:
