新概念英语第2册第9课重点语法句型
新概念英语第2册第9课重点语法句型第9课的内容：一、重要句型或语法1、介词的用法本课侧重的是表时间的介词的用法，主要有at/in/on。
其中，in一般后接月份、季度和年份;on一般后接星期或日期;at一般后接几点几分。
2、不定代词本课侧重的是not..any相当于no的用法，如：He has no coffee.就相当于He doesn't have any coffee.二、课文主要语言点On Wednesday evening, we went to the Town Hall. 1)Wednesday evening是周几，所以要用介词on。
2)the Town Hall表示市政厅，因为是专门组织名称，所以首字母要大写。
It was the last day of the year and a large crowd of people had gathered under the Town Hall clock. 1)the last day of the year，一年的最后一天。
2)a large crowd of，一大群。
3)had gathered，之所以用过去完成时，是因为前一句动作谓语为was，而此前人们已经聚集到大钟下了，所以为过去的过去，要用过去完成时。
It would strike twelve in twenty minutes' time. 1)strike在此表示敲打，但一般只用作钟敲响几点钟。
strike也可表示击打，如：Strike the iron while it is hot.(趁热打铁) 2)in twenty minutes' time，二十分钟之后，表将来，所以动作谓语要用would。
Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. 此处的at five to twelve前后用逗号隔开，起到强调作用。
