重點句型
1.“So + be/have/助動詞/情態動詞+主詞”的結構。此結構中的語序是倒裝的,“So”代替上句中的某個成分。如果上面壹句是否定句,則使用“Neither/Nor+be/have/助動詞/情態動詞+主語”的結構。

重點語法:
直接引語和間接引語
1. 直接引語在改為間接引語時,時態需要做相應的調整。
eg: “I broke your CD player.” (壹般過去時改成過去完成時)
He told me he had broken my CD player.
Jenny said, “I have lost a book.”
(現在完成時改成過去完成時)
Jenny said she had lost a book.
Mum said, “I’ll go to see a friend.”
(壹般將來時改成過去將來時)
Mum said she would go to see a friend.
過去完成時保留原有的時態
He said, “We hadn’t finished our homework.”
He said they hadn’t finished their homework.
註意 直接引語是客觀真理,過去進行時,時態不變。
2. 在直接引語變間接引語時,如果從句中的主語時第壹人稱或被第壹人稱所修飾,從句中的人稱要按照主句中主語的人稱變化。如:
Mary said, “My brother is an engineer.”
Mary said her brother was and engineer.
3. 直接引語如果是反意疑問句,選擇疑問句或壹般疑問句,間接引語應改為由whether或if引導的賓語從句。如:
He said, “Can you run, Mike?”
He asked Mike whether/if he could run.
4. 直接引語如果是祈使句,間接引語應改為“tell(ask, order, beg等) sb (not) to do sth.”句型。如:
“Pass me the water, please.”said he.
He asked him to pass her the water.
5. 直接引語如果是以“Let’s”開頭的祈使句,變為間接引語時,通常用“suggest+動名詞或從句”的結構。如:
She said, “Let’s go to the cinema.”
She suggested going to the cinema.
或She suggested that they should go to the cinema.
現在進行時表將來的動作
現在進行時表將來的動作,謂語通常為瞬間動詞。如:come, go, arrive, leave, start, return, stay, meet, get等。這些動詞的進行時後不能再接具體的時間。
(1)用現在進行時表示將來,指的是近期的,按計劃或安排要發生的動作。
(2)現在進行時表示將來與表示正在進行的動作的區別在於:前者通常用瞬間動詞(有時壹些常用動詞也可以這樣用如:do)如:go, come, start, return, get, arrive等。而後者通常是持續性動詞。
He is reading a novel.
他在看小說。
The train is arriving soon.
火車就要進站了。
(3)用現在進行時表示將來的時間,在句中或上下文中通常有表示將來時間的狀語。
(4)現在進行時與壹般現在時表示將來動作的區別在於:前者表示的將來的動作往往是可以改變的,而後者則是根據規定或時間表預計要發生的動作或事情,因此往往是不可改變或不可隨便改變的。
What are you doing next Friday?
