★Text
Do you speak English I had an amusing experience last year.After I had left a small village in the south of France,I drove on to the next town.On the way,a young man waved to me.I stopped and he asked me for a lift.As soon as he had got into the car,I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language.Apart from a few words,I do not know any French at all.Neither of us spoke during the journey.I had nearly reached the town,when the young man suddenly said,very slowly,'Do you speak English?'As I soon learnt,he was English himself!
☆after:从句的标志,后面的叫时间状语从句,主句的动作发生在从句之后。 如果两个都是过去时,同时发生,会用进行时态; 如果一先一后发生,发生在前的动作为过去完成时态。
☆as soon as:一……就…… 后面一定要加一个句子(时间状语从句),一后面的先发生 强调两个动作几乎是连在一起的
☆用某种语言:in+某种语言
☆apart from:除了……之外 apart from=except for,习惯上放在句首 except for可以不放在句首,强调整体当中某 一方面除外,剩下的整体都不错。 apart from有两层含义:except,besides except和besides可放在句子中间,besides指在整体上加上,except要从整体减掉
☆either of sb:……中的任何一个 neither of sb:……中的任何一个都不 either,neither都是指两个当中的任何一个 如果不只两个人,就是none of none,neither一旦出现,这句话就不会再有not
☆as I learnt learn:知道,得知;know:知道 As+主语+动词+逗号+句子(as:正如) eg:As we know,the New Concept English is very good.
★Key structures 过去完成时 过去的过去或两个动作都在过去,一个动作在前,一个在后,发生在前的动作为过去完成时。 过去完成时一定要以一个过去时态做铺垫,这个动作一定要发生在had done之后。 [特殊]until:主句和从句两个都用一般过去时对,任何一个用过去完成时也对。
