【课文讲解】

at five o'clock in the morning 先说小单位, 再说大单位

hope 希望 : hope to do : 希望自己做 / hope that+从句 : 希望别人做

she hope to set up a new world recorder.

feel (that), 宾语从句中的that 可以省略

must + 动词原形 表示一定, 一种推测

be sure to do : 一定能够, 肯定语气比 "must" 强

Are you sure? 你肯定吗? sure 肯定

be sure of(对某件事情, 名词做宾语)

be sure to do(对某件事情动词有把握)

be sure that(对某件事情, 某人做某事有把握)

I am sure that I can do sth＝I am sure of sth＝I am sure to do sth.

I am sure of my success. / I am sure to succeed.

I am sure that I can succeed. (be successful)

oneself放在动词或一句话的后面, 往往起强调的作用

定语从句中的关系词往往指代的含义是前面的先行词

限定性定语从句/非限定性定语从句

如果是有逗号的是非限定性定语从句, 没有逗号的是限定性定语从句

限定性定语从句可以用, 非限定性定语从句不可以用的是that

限定性定语从句少了后面的句子, 这句话意思不完整,非限定性定语从句前面的句子完整, 后面的句子起着补充说明的作用

倒装句 : 地点+will+名词

常见的倒装句 : here you are / here is my ticket

全部倒装 : 地点(介词短语或副词)+动词+名词

倒装句型中如果主语是名词, 放在动词后面, 如果是代词, 放在动词前面, 如 here you are.

【Key structure】 关键句型

She is going to swim across the Channel tomorrow. 将来时(KS12) (参见第12课关键句型)

Instead of saying: We can say :

除了这种表述方法外 : 还可以说 :

I shall travel by air. I am going to travel by air.

He will sell his car. He is going to sell his car.

They will move to a new house. They are going to move to a new house.

I intend to write to him. I am going to write to him.

She means to ask for an explanation. She is going to ask for an explanation.

We can often use going to in place of shall or will in simple statements and questions. We cannot use going to in sentences like this one :

在陈述句和疑问句中, 我们常常可用going to来替代shall或will. 在类似下列的句子中我们不能用going to :

You will enjoy yourself if you travel by sea. 如果你乘船旅游, 你会玩得很开心的.

be going to 一定强调计划和安排, 顺理成章的不用be going to

tomorrow will be Tuesday.

在运动场上常用的口语 :

well to go / well done / yea / yeah

bingo int.(因出乎意料的成功而表示兴奋的叫声)瞧!

go 加油
