新概念英语青少版2B-unit_16

新概念英语青少版2B-unit_16Unit 16 What’s your middle name ?1、复习there be （有，存在）句型1）表示“某时、某地”存在“某物”的时候用“there be”句型，而表示“拥有”时，用“have”，所以，一般情况下，“have”的主语应是“人”。

“there be”没有主语，独立完成形式上的“主语、谓语”部分，而其意义上的主语，一般是句子后面“介词短语”的“名词”部分。

例：There is a book in my bag.介词短语“in my bag”中的名词“bag”是“有、存在”这个东西的主体。

但并不表示“bag”拥有“book”2）There be 结构可按“there”为主语，“be”为系动词的结构，根据需要变化相应的形式。

例：There is a book in my bag.变成一般疑问句为：Is there a book in your bag? 【主系表结构的肯定陈述句变一般疑问句的规则：系动词提前，其它不变，末尾加问号】2、pick up some shopping = buy something“pick up some shopping”这里不能简单替换成“go shopping”，因为“go shopping”是一种“有计划、有意识、有目的”的行为“去购物”，而“pick up”潜在的意思是“顺便、不经意的”的意思。

3、call 与 talk 的比较使用“call”是“称呼、呼叫”的意思，所以一般与相应介词连用，可构成短语“打电话给”、“呼叫”、“要求”等；“talk”是“讲述、谈论、告诉”的意思，所以一般构成的短语如“讨论”、“讲述”等。

4、look 的相关短语积累look for 寻找 look after 照顾 look up 查找你平时还见过哪些呢？请总结下来吧！5、介词 at 、in、 on 的使用小结“at”一般指在什么地点；“in”表示在……里，“on”表示在……（表面）上；三者都可与“时间”连用，但在具体表示“在…….时”有不同，一般“时间点”用“at”，“日子”用“on”，“月、年”用“in”。
