Language Points 語言要點?

1. I'm going home today. 我今天要回家。?
這句話是現在進行時的形式，表示的是將來的時態。go home 回家，home 是副詞，“回家、到家”之意，因此 go 后面不帶 to。?
2. Tell me where you live. 告訴我你住在哪兒。?
這是一句帶有賓語從句的祈使句。Where you live，是一個從句。做 tell 的賓語，賓語從句中要用陳述語序，例如：
Tell me what happened. 告訴我發生了什么事。?
Tell me where the police station is. 告訴我警察局在哪。?
