11、告诉我如何到达书店吗?how to get to the.为“疑问词+不定式”结构,作tell的宾语补足语。“疑问词+不定式”结构经常放在tell,show,teach,learn,know,wonder,discuss,remember,forget,find out等动词(词组)之后作宾语。例如:The young woman doesnt know what to do.那位年轻女子不知道怎么办。(句中what不能改换成how)He tells me how to answer all the questions in English.他告诉我怎样用英语回答所有的问题。(句中的how不能
12、省去)归纳“疑问词+不定式”结构中的疑问词,包括疑问代词who,what,which和疑问副词how,when,where等。这些疑问词和不定式一起构成了不定式短语,这种结构可在句子中作主语、宾语、表语等。How to do it is a question.该怎样做倒是一个问题。(作主语)I really dont know what to write about.我实在不知道该写些什么。(作动词宾语)We must first solve the problem of whom to serve.我们必须首先解决为谁服务的问题。(作介词宾语)The question is where to

14、tion is where we should put it.I asked him how we should learn English.5. Turn left.向左转。turn后接left或者right,意为“向左转或者向右转”,中间不加任何的冠词。例如:It looks like rain. We had better turn back.天要下雨了,我们最好往回走。right和left单独使用时,前边可加介词on,此时必须加冠词the,即:on the left“在左边”;on the right“在右边”。归纳:有关turn的短语turn on打开(水、电、收音机等)turn o
15、ff关上(水、电、收音机等)turn down关小(收音机等的音量)turn up开大(收音机等的音量)turn in上交turn into翻译in turn依次6.

18、der后跟when引导的宾语从句,也可接who,what,why,where等引导的宾语从句。如:I wonder who she is.我想知道她是谁。She wondered what the child was doing.她感到疑惑,孩子究竟在干什么。归纳:wonder后还能跟:动词不定式短语。如:I wondered to see you there.看到你在那里,我感到惊讶。“疑问词+不定式”构成的短语。如:Im just wondering how to do it.我正想知道该怎样做那件事。9. You never know until you try something.不尝
19、试一下,你永远不会知道!until可用作介词或连词,意为“到时候为止”、“到时候才”或“在时候以前不”。用“. not. until.”结构,意为“到时候才”。如:You mustnt eat anything until you see the doctor.看过医生之后,你才能吃东西。Dont get off the bus until it has stopped.车停稳了以后再下车。辨析:until与not.untiluntil“直到”,表示某一种行为一直持续到某一时间。用在肯定句中,句子的谓语动词必须是可延续性的。not.until“直到.才”表示直到某一时间,某一行为才发生,之前该
20、行为并没有发生。用在否定句中,主句中的谓语可以是延续性的也可以是短暂性动词。例如:I studied English until 9 oclock last night.我昨晚学英语一直学到9点钟。(表示9点前一直在学)I didnt go to sleep until 11 oclock.直到11点我才睡觉。not until还可以用于强调句中,也可以放在句首,句子要采用部分倒装。Not until he came back did I go to sleep.直到他回来,我才睡觉。易错警醒如果要放在句首,只能用until而不能用till,如:直到我做完家庭作业妈妈才准我出去。误Till I
21、 finished my homework,mother didnt let me out.正Until I finished my homework,mother didnt let me out.例1 A direct order like “Daisy,pass me the book” sounds rude. Wed better say: “_”A.

22、isy,I wonder you can pass me the book.【解析】考查交际用语。句意:像这样的命令“Daisy,把书递给我”听起来很粗鲁。那么其委婉的表达法是A,因为在英语中,常用could you please.;would you mind.;would you like.等形式来表达委婉的建议或请求。【答案】A例2_,please.

24、学生们在网上没有发现有关这个话题的很多信息。much之后要用不可数名词,只有information是不可数名词。其他的report,article和story都是可数名词。【答案】C例4 Excuse me. Could you tell me_get to the nearest post office?
