单元语法专练
Whydon’tyoudo...?句型
句型“Why don’t you do...?”意为“你为何不做……呢?”,用于向对方提出建议或征求意见。语气较为委婉、客气,易于接受。通常可与“Why not do...?”互换。例如:
—I didn’t have a good sleep last night,so I feel tired.昨天晚上我没有睡好,因此觉得很疲倦。
—Why don’t you/not go to bed earlier tonight?你为何不今晚早点睡呢?
连词until,although和sothat的用法
1.until的用法。
(1)until意为“直到……为止”,用于肯定句,主句的谓语动词一般是延续性动词,如live,read,run,teach,talk,work,watch等,表示这个动作一直延续到until所表示的时间为止。例如:
I lived in this house until I was ten years old.我在这个房子里一直住到10岁。
(2)until意为“直到……才”,用于否定句,主句的谓语动词一般是非延续性动词,如begin,come,go,leave,stop,start等,表示这个动作直到until所表示的时间才发生。例如:
I won’t leave until you come back.直到你回来我才会离开。
2.although的用法。
although意为“虽然;即使;尽管”,引导让步状语从句。同though用法相近,但though可作副词,位于句末。although和though一般都不与but同时使用。例如:
Although/Though he is very old,he looks strong.虽然他的年纪很大,但他看起来还是很强壮。
3.so that的用法。
(1)so that意为“以便;为了”,引导目的状语从句,位于主句之后,从句中常用can,could,may,might等情态动词。例如:
3
Please open the windows so that you can breathe fresh air.请把窗子打开,以便你能呼吸到新鲜的空气。
(2)so that意为“因此;所以”,引导结果状语从句,从句中谓语动词根据需要使用相应的时态,主从句间可用逗号隔开。例如:
She had not planned her time well,so that she did not finish her homework on time.她没把时间计划好,所以没按时完成家庭作业。
