among prep、 在……之中
辨析:between与among
between一般表示在两者之间,常用and连接两个具体得人或物。
among一般表示在三个或三个以上得人或物之间,其宾语通常就是表示笼统数量或具有复数意义得名词或代词。
e、g、 Can you tell the differences between the two pictures?
您能告诉我这两幅画之间得区别吗？

4) Tina has lived in Beijing since she came to China、
5) It is more than two years since our family moved to Zhengzhou、

【结论】
1、 通过观察例句1与2,我们可以发现:since可以作_______(介词 / 连词),其后常接表示某一时间点得单词或短语,并且其谓语动词必须就是延续性动词,多用于_________时态。
2、 通过观察例句3—6,我们可以发现:since可以作_______(介词 / 连词),引导时间状语从句,其主句通常用现在完成时态,从句用________时态。当主句中含有静态意义得动词,特别就是含有be动词时,常使用一般现在时态,即可使用句型“It ____ + 时间段 +  since + 从句”,也可以使用“It _________ + 时间段+ since + 从句”来表达。
4、 While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter、
after在句中引导时间状语从句,表示主句动作发生在从句动作之后。
e、g、 After we had finished the work, we went home、
完成工作之后,我们回家了。
4、 The local people, the Native Americans, taught the pioneers how to grow corn、
【点拨】在八年级,我们已经学过grow这个词,它得意思有“(逐渐)变得;生长;增长;增大”。除了这些意思以外,grow还有“种植,栽培(植物)”得意思。如:
How many trees have you grown in the park since last year?

e、g、 The little girl earns her living by selling newspapers、
小女孩靠卖报纸为生。
7、 During the festival, there are plenty of other things to see and do、
【点拨】plenty of意为“丰富得;充足得”,在使用时应注意以下两点:
(1) plenty of既能与不可数名词连用,又能与可数名词连用。如:
Don’t worry! We have plenty of time、
There are plenty of chairs in the room、
(2) “plenty of +名词”作主语时,谓语动词得数要与名词得数保持一致。如:
Plenty of students have joined the club、
Plenty of sleep helps us keep healthy、
【链接】我们已经学过不少表示“许多”得词语,大致可分为以下三类:
(1)只能与可数名词连用得,如:many, a number of等。
(2)只能与不可数名词连用得,如:much。
(3)既能与可数名词连用,又能与不可数名词连用得,如:a lot of, lots of, plenty of等。
