一句話中只有一個動詞, 如果再出現(xiàn)動詞, 可以用and并列連接, 也可以變成復(fù)合句, 用when, because連接, 還可以使這個動詞表示動詞意思, 但不做謂語, 即非謂語動詞
過去分詞做定語, 表示 “被”,如ploughed field
n. +called???? ?被稱之為……的……(如果用短語修飾其他詞, 則把短語放在被修飾詞的后邊)
be used to do sth. 被用來……used todo? 過去常常
同位語從句中的引導(dǎo)詞只有一個that,不會用which
in the ground (更習(xí)慣于用“underthe ground” )

it is said是插入語,當“據(jù)說”講。

would表示過去的習(xí)慣性動作, 但此處表示 “used to” 過去常做
fail to dosth.?? 未能、不能、忘記做某事項 (fail后面接動詞不定式表示否定)
collect的含義之一為“(去)取,接”

表示過去習(xí)慣性動作
當我們提到過去某一特定時間時, 我們有時可用would來代替used
to,有時則不可以,而且would需要指出具體時間,used
to則不需要。
當used to暗示與現(xiàn)在的對照時,不可用would替換: I used to drink heavily, but I have
given up drinking now./當used to描寫過去的狀態(tài)時,也不可與would互換,would只表示過去特有的習(xí)慣或行為:
當used to不強調(diào)與現(xiàn)在的對比時,可與would互換。但一個故事開頭時不用would,必須首先用一般過去時或used to描述背景,然后用would表示習(xí)慣性動作:
【Special difficulties】

use??? vt.用,使用,運用,應(yīng)用

one of 直接作主語的時候, 它是做單數(shù)看待的.如果在定語從句中出現(xiàn)了one of作為先行詞,它后邊的關(guān)系代詞指代的是后面的復(fù)數(shù)名詞;如果在one of前面還有一修飾詞only,那么后邊的關(guān)系代詞將指代one這個詞,才作單數(shù)看

great/good many of+復(fù)數(shù)名詞。

前后兩句的強調(diào)點不同, 本句中應(yīng)強調(diào) “return” , 故后面一句更好, 這屬于tiny mistake(微小的錯誤), 當然第一句最好, 另外應(yīng)注意句子的平衡, 也應(yīng)將“when” 放后面

Make and Let
make和let后面都跟不帶to的不定式,但意義上和用法上有區(qū)別:
make+名詞/代詞+不帶to的不定式,表示“迫使,致使”:?What made him change his mind?
在被動語態(tài)中含有上述意義的make后面必須帶to:
? He was made to work fourteen hours a day.
? let用于祈使句,建議包括說話者在內(nèi)的人采取某一行動:Let’s notwaste any more time.
其否定形式除“Let’s
not…”外也可以用“Don’t let’s…”:Don’tlet’s waste any more time.
let+名詞/代詞+不帶to的不定式,表示“允許”:
Don't let himpersuade you.??
如果賓語是us,則不能縮寫成let’s:
? Please let us have more time, will you?
let后面可以跟一個被動的、不帶to的不定式:
? He let it be known that the house was his.
但let一般不用于被動意義來表示“被允許”,這時可用allow。We were not allowed to speak.

【Key structures】
表示將要發(fā)生的事情
在英語中,現(xiàn)在進行時也可用來表示為將來安排好的活動和事件。這種用法通常需要一個表示時間的狀語(往往是不久的將來)。arrive,come,go,leave等動詞的進行式經(jīng)常有這種用法,表示行程安排有關(guān)的“將到達,將離去”等意思:
? We’re spending next winter in Australia.
? He’s meeting the vicar in two days’ time.
當時間狀語從句表示將來時,在after,as soon as,before,by the time,the moment,till,until和when等后面通常不用一般將來時而用一般現(xiàn)在時;不用將來完成時而用現(xiàn)在完成時。這兩種現(xiàn)在時態(tài)在時間連詞后面常??梢曰Q:The Thompsons will move to a new flat when their baby is/ has beenborn.
?I’ll make it before he comes.
在第1類條件句中,if之后通常用一般現(xiàn)在時表示將來可能發(fā)生的事:If he gets the job,he’ll be going abroad./ I’ll give her a meal if she’s hungry.
【Special Difficulties】
由名詞+名詞構(gòu)成的復(fù)合名詞
第一個名詞通常起形容詞(或修飾語)的作用,而且一般都用單數(shù)。這類復(fù)合名詞可以代替of結(jié)構(gòu),如a car key(汽車鑰匙),a
chair leg(椅子腿);也可以理解為第一個名詞指地點,第二個詞指該地點中的東西,如a village pub(鄉(xiāng)村酒吧),a
world record(世界紀錄),a kitchen
sink(廚房洗滌槽);也可以表示時間,如a Christams
card(圣誕卡),an evening dress(晚禮服),afternoon tea(下午茶);也可以表示分類,如a horror film(恐怖電影),a
flower shop(花店),a taxi-driver(出租車司機);也可以表示材料,如a fur coat(裘皮大衣),a gold watch(金表),cigarette ends(香煙頭)。

【Summary writing】
1.When Jeremy
Hampden, who is greatly admired for his great sense of humour , was invited to
make a speech at a wedding reception, he immediately agreed to do so.在不使句子產(chǎn)生歧義的前提下,定語從句可放在其所修飾的整個句子的后面, 如以下兩句:
The brother, whowas standing near the house, wanted to go swimming./The brother wanted to goswimming who was standing near the house .
但下面的就容易產(chǎn)生歧義:
The brother, who wasstanding near the house , wanted to talk with the girl.
The brother wanted
to talk with the girl who was standing near the house. (有歧義)
