今天学习的是新概念教材1 的第67课:
Lesson 67 The weekend 周末
Mrs. Johnson: Hello. Were you at the butcher’s?
Mrs. Williams: Yes, I was. Were you at the butcher’s too?
Mrs. Johnson: No, I wasn’t. I was at the greengrocer’s. How’s Jimmy today?
Mrs. Williams: He’s very well, thank you.
Mrs. Johnson: Was he absent from school last week?
Mrs. Williams:Yes, he was. He was absent on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
How are you all keeping?
Mrs. Johnson: Very well, thank you. We are going to spend three days in the country.
We are going to stay at my mother’s for the weekend.
Mrs. Williams: Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the country! Aren’t you lucky!
课文介绍:同学们,从67课开始我们要接触到过去时的概念了,描述过去发生的工作或者状态。这里提醒一下同学们一定要养成一个习惯就是,动词要根据时态进行变化哦~ 不多说我们来总结一些文中比较重要的知识点:
Were you at the butcher’s? ... I was at the greengrocer’s
at the butcher’s = at the butcher’s shop 在肉店
at the greengrocer’s = at the greengrocer’s shop 在蔬菜水果店
在英文表示某个店,公共机构,或者是某人家的短语中,往往这个后面的名词可以省略掉,直接说 the xxx’s 即可
除了文中的例子,类似的还有:
at the stationer’s 在文具店
at the doctor’s 在诊所
at my mother’s 在我妈妈家
at Saint Paul’s 在圣保罗教堂
How are you all keeping? 你好吗?
这个短语是一个打招呼的用语,用于询问对方身体状况
例句:How is your mother all keeping? 您母亲(身体)还好吗?
Very well. Thank you. 很好,谢谢
打招呼,除了How are you? ,又学到了 How are you all keeping?
除了这些,我希望同学们还可以记住几句口语问候,让自己的表达多元化一些哈~
How are you doing?
How is everything going?
What’s up?
一般过去时
过去时很好理解,就是过去发生的动作和状态;
(这一课只讲be动词的变化,后面的课程会有实义动词的过去式变化)
(be)动词 的变化:
比如 我们要去描述,改革开放前的深圳:
它(曾经)是个村。 It was a countryside.
或者描述一下:曾经非主流的自己:
我们(当时)16岁。 We were 16 years old.
这里我要说一个点,这是我碰到的很多学生在口语表达中纠结的点
同学们在讲自己昨天怎么样,很好说,I was ... yesterday. 有个yesterday这个时间词,知道自己要用过去式;或者说几年前怎么样, A few years ago, ... 也知道自己要用过去式
However, 有部分同学在描述自己曾经怎么怎么样的时候(可能不是很确定当时的时间),就会碰到了一个卡壳,就是这个“曾经”怎么翻译?这其实就是英语中非常巧妙的一个地方,英文体现“曾经”就体现在动词上,动词的变化反映了所描述的时态:
I was 16 years old. (曾经16岁) I am 26 years old. (现在26岁)
We were at the butcher’s. (过去在肉店) We are at the butcher’s. (现在在肉店)
I was reading a book. (过去在看书) I am reading a book. (现在正在看书)
体会到了这个巧妙的点吗?有时候即使没有像yesterday, a few years ago那样的时间词,通过句子的动词,我们也能清楚地了解这个对方想表达的时间状态。
所以不要再纠结了,多说多练,养成习惯
Anyway, 希望同学们都能有收获哈~好啦,今天总结的比较重要的知识点就是这些,了解详情可以点下方链接咨询课程~
