Lesson 2 Breakfast or lunch?语法总结

语法总结

一般现在时和现在进行时的对比

I never get up early on Sundays 说的是习惯;I'm still having breakfast 说的是说话当下正在发生的动作。两种时态在同一篇里形成鲜明对比。

相似句:
  • She usually walks to school, but today she is taking a bus.
  • I often read at night, but now I am writing a letter.

until 表示动作持续到某个时间点

stay in bed until lunchtime 说明“躺着”这个动作一直持续到午饭时间;若是否定句,not ... until ... 则是“直到……才……”。

相似句:
  • He waited until midnight.
  • She didn't leave until her father came back.

现在进行时可表示按计划的将来

I'm coming to see you 不是“我现在正在路上”的直译,而是“我就要去看你”,这类用法常见于 come, go, leave, arrive 等位移动词。

相似句:
  • We are leaving tomorrow morning.
  • My uncle is arriving this evening.

What a ...! 感叹句

What a day! 属于 What a/an + 名词 的感叹句型,常带明显语气色彩;语境足够强时,形容词可以省略。

相似句:
  • What a pity!
  • What a wonderful idea!
