在用過去時(shí)態(tài)表達(dá)跟目前相反的情況的時(shí)候,be動(dòng)詞一律用were,w-e-r-e, were.
比方凱特不住在佛羅里達(dá)州, 所以她不能夠照顧父母. 她可以這樣說: I am not in Florida. I cannot take care of them. 要是把這句話改成: "如果我在那兒, 我就 可以照顧他們." 英文就應(yīng)該這樣說: I could take care of them if I were there. 下 面我們作一組代換練習(xí)學(xué)學(xué)這種說法, 同時(shí)復(fù)習(xí)剛才那組練習(xí)里的一些詞匯.
現(xiàn)在請(qǐng)你注意聽凱特說一句話, 接著老師念一個(gè)詞組,請(qǐng)你跟凱特一起把詞組 代換到前半個(gè)句子里.
F: I could take care of them if I were there.
M: look after them.
F: I could look after them if I were there.
M: keep them company
F: I could keep them company if I were there.
M: help them
F: I could help them if I were there.
M: cook for them
F: I could cook for them if I were there.
M: buy groceries for them
F: I could buy groceries for them if I were there.
M: do their laundry
F: I could do their laundry if I were there.
M: take them shopping
F: I could take them shopping if I were there.
下面我們?cè)僮饕唤M代換練習(xí), 一方面學(xué)習(xí)今天教的語法,一方面復(fù)習(xí)形容詞比 較級(jí).練習(xí)的內(nèi)容是說如果凱特的父母跟女兒, 女婿一塊住會(huì)有什么好處. 請(qǐng) 你跟著凱特把第一個(gè)句子重復(fù)一遍, 然后跟凱特一起把老師提出的詞匯代換 到后半個(gè)句子里.
F: If they lived with us, it would be more economical for them.
M: less expensive
F: If they lived with us, it would be less expensive for them.
M: more convenient
F: If they lived with us, it would be more convenient for them.
M: less troublesome
F: If they lived with us, it would be less troublesome for them.
M: easier
F: If they lived with us, it would be easier for them.
M: less difficult
F: If they lived with us, it would be less difficult for them.
下面我們?cè)僮饕唤M練習(xí), 學(xué)學(xué)怎么表達(dá)跟目前相反的情況. 練習(xí)的內(nèi)容都是說 到在美國(guó)六十五歲以上的老人,也就是所謂的 senior citizens 能得到什么好處.
在這組練習(xí)里你可以學(xué)到許多有用的詞匯, 比方 "福利" benefit, "退休金" retirement pension,"義務(wù)" obligation,"無憂無慮"care-free. "志愿工作" volunteer work 等等.現(xiàn)在請(qǐng)你先注意老師用現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)說明目前的情況; 然后請(qǐng)你用過去 時(shí)態(tài)否定句說明跟目前相反的情況. 下面就是一個(gè)例子:
M: We are senior citizens. We are able to enjoy senior citizen benefits.
F: If we weren't senior citizens, we wouldn't be able to enjoy senior citizen benefits.
現(xiàn)在我們開始作練習(xí). 每作完一句就請(qǐng)你聽老師把正確答案念一遍.
M: We are senior citizens. We are able to enjoy senior citizen benefits.
F: If we weren't senior citizens, we wouldn't be able to enjoy senior citizen benefits.
M: We don't have to work full time. We have time to enjoy our hobbies.
F: If we had to work full time, we wouldn't have time to enjoy our hobbies.
M: We don't have many obligations. We are carefree.
F: If we had many obligations, we wouldn't be carefree.
M: We don't need to work full time. We are free to do volunteer work.
F: If we needed to work full time, we wouldn't be free to do volunteer work.
M: We do volunteer work. We have a lot of new experiences.
F: If we didn't do volunteer work, we wouldn't have a lot of new experiences.
