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， 非限定性定语从句不可以用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，非限定性定语从句一旦有逗号隔开, 后面的句子和前面的句子关系不紧密, 起补充作用。

Among them will be Debbie's mother. 这句是一个倒装句，正常的语序应为 Debbie’s mother will be among them.

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.

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

【Letter Writing】

当书写地址时，常常不写地区或邮区的全称。有时只写名称的一部分或只用大写字母。如：Berkshire

写成Berks.，California 写成 Calif.，North West 3 缩写成N.W.3，New York 缩写成 N.Y.。

【Key structure】

表示将来的结构：

 

将来时

① be to

② be about to

③ be going to 表将来

④ intend to do sth.＝be going to do sth.      打算做某事

I intend to have a company. = I am going to have a company.

⑤ plan to do sth.        计划做某事

⑥ mean to do sth.        打算做某事 :

What do you mean to do(intend to do)?

⑦ aim to do sth.          打算做某事

⑧ I will do sth.＝I intend to do sth.

plan to do / mean to do / aim to do / hope to do / want to do 这类词本身没有将来时态, 本身就表示将来, 用一般现在时表示将来时

be going to 常用于口语中，在正式的书面语中通常用 will 而不用be going to。在陈述句和疑问句中, 常常可用 be going to 来替代 shall 或 will。但有时不能用 be going to 代替 shall 或 will：

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

在非正式语体下，要表示意图、打算，强调计划和安排，表示说话人也许对即将发生的事预先有所了

解时，一般用 be going to 而不用will： What do you intend to do at home? I’m going to watch TV.

They’re going to be married soon.

如果表示说话时决定去做某事，或者表示建议、请求、肯定或不肯定等含义时，要用 will 而不用 be going to：

You won’t forget to bring something to sleep in, will you?     （表示建议）

Don’t worry! I’ll bring a sleeping bag. （表示决定）

I shan’t be able to look after the baby and cook lunch.     （表示肯定） I’ll look after the baby while you cook lunch.                              （ 表 示 决 定 ） Tomorrow will be Tuesday.

【Special Difficulties】Watch, Look at, Follow

Watch (something happening)          观看 (正在发生的事情)，注视，注意看Do you have to watch me eating my supper?          你非得看我吃晚饭吗？ How long have you been watching the race?

Look at           仔细看，（留意）看

Look at the blackboard.      看黑板。

Follow (go after)             跟随 (走在后面)

I followed my mother into the kitchen.            我跟着母亲走进厨房. The dog followed me all the way home.

在特定的时候，follow 也可以表示注视，即用目光“跟随”： Have you ever seen a cat follow/watch a bird’s every movement? 你有没有见过猫注视鸟的一举一动？

Solid, Firm, Stable

Solid (not liquid)       固体的 (非流体的)，硬的(固体)；结实的，坚固的（指家具、建筑物等） This is a solid table.                       这张桌子很结实。
