himself反身代词单独放在句尾, 起强调作用 I read English myself. 【Key structures】 过去完成时

过去完成时：由 had+过去分词构成，它表示过去某时或某动作发生之前已经完成的动作或情况，即“较早的过去”。过去完成时一定要以一个过去时态作铺垫, 这个动作一定要发生在had done之后。 在用过去完成时态的句子中，常用连词 when，after，as soon as，until，by that time等。常与现在完成时连用的副词如already，just，never，never…before也常与过去完成时连用，以强调事件发生的先后次序： I didn’t know that she was a famous actress until you had told me. The boys loved the zoo. They had never seen wild animals before.

在那些用过去完成时的句子中没有明确的时间状语，但通过上下文可以看出动作发生的先后。 Exercises D (用正确的时态填空)

1 The moment he had said this, he ______ (regret) it.

the moment = as soon as 一……就……，后面直接加从句

2 It ______ (begin) to rain before she took a taxi.

before引导的从句用一般过去时, 主句用过去完成时 【Special Difficulties】 Ask与Ask For：

ask v. 问，询问；请求，要求，邀请

ask a question/ask sb. 问（一个问题）/问某人 I asked (Mary) a question.

They asked Tony to sing a song.

They asked her to spend the weekend with them. ask for 要，要求（某样东西） ask for the answer

I asked for a cup of coffee, but they gave me a cup of tea. You are always asking for help. Except, Except for 与 Apart from

三者都表示“除……以外”，有时可以互换，但except不用于句首，except for 和 apart from则可以。 Everyone has helped in some way apart from/except for/except you. Apart from/Except for you, everyone has helped in some way. apart from习惯上喜欢放句首, apart from=except/besides

如果认为整体之中做这件事情的人除了整体之外，还有这个人也做了（包括），是加号=besides；如果认为整体之中做这件事情的人除了整体之外，这个人没有做（排除），是减号=except；如果放在句首，统一用apart from代替except/besides

All the passengers are millionaire except us. （减号）

I invited everyone except George. / Except for George I invited everyone. Except for/apart from this, everything is in order. except for含有对整体中的某一个方面不满意，except for 可以不放在句首, 强调整体当中某一方面除外, 剩下的整体都不错

neither of sb. ……当中的任何一个都不（neither of（注意英音与美音的读音）两者之间都不, 一旦出现, 这句话里面不会再出现not）

I don't like the book. My sister doesn't like it either. Neither of us likes it. (注意要用单数) Which bag shall I use?

Either of them. It doesn’t matter which. 哪个都行。用哪个都没关系。 Neither of them. Use a suitcase. 哪个都不行。用个手提箱吧。

③ both只指两个人或物。当它用在名词前时，of 可有可无；当用在代词前面时，其后必须加of Both books/Both of the books are interesting. Both of us/them left early.

④none of 三者或三者以上之间都不 Exercise
