grammar
我们学习了what引导的感叹句、动词的直接宾语和间接宾语、否定句的两种形式、动词和小品构成的宾语动词、作形容词的现在分词与过去分词的区别等内容。
💎eg:
🌸What a beautiful garden(it is)!
多美的花园!
🌸She lent me her dictionary.
她把字典借给了我。
(me为间接宾语,her dictionary为直接宾语)
🌸There isn't anyone in the garden.
花园里没有人。
🌸But I heard a voice!
但是我听到有说话声!
🌸Nonsense!There's no one there!
胡说!那里一个人也没有!
(否定词no比not any/anyone 语气要更强,但意义一样。
🌸Was it an exciting race?
比赛激动人心吗?
🌸Yes,it was.We all got very excited.
是的,我们大家都很激动。
(以-ing结尾的形容词一般与非人称主语连用,以-ed结尾的形容词通常与人称主语连用)
🌸I asked you to throw away that rubbish.
我叫你把那垃圾扔掉的。
🌸I've already thrown it away.
我已经把它扔掉了。(away为副词)
与动词连用的小品词如果能与动词分开使用,即它的位置可变动,那么这个小品词一般为副词;如果位置不可变动,则一般为介词。
🌸I'm looking for my sister.
我在找我的姐妹。(for 为介词)
