这是对《英语语法俱乐部》整理而来的笔记。原书是一本非常好语法书。它不再是一本语法知识点的汇总,或是语法的字典。这是与市面上的语法书的不同之处。这本书可以通读下来,对语法的理解会有很好的加深和提高。这本书,本人看了一个多月,笔记也整理了一个多月.
I have an appointment on Sunday.
放在补语位置的专有名词最难以判断。补语和主语(或宾语)之间有同等的关系。如果主语是专有名词的话,那么它的补语也当作专有名词来使用,条件是在补语位置上的名词也必须具有“唯一”的性质。例如:
Mr. Elson was president of the high school. 校长一词不加冠词。
Some say he was a better president than Mr. Robert. Mr. Elson is also a member of the Council of the city.
Clinton made Gorle campaign partner of the Presidential election.
注意:这些情况说明要对句子本身的事情要清楚。要知道一个学校只有一位校长,一个总统下面只有一个副总统。
2.3 定冠词the用法
在语源学上,the可视为that或those的弱化形式(注意不是this和these)。而that或those是指形容词,有明确的指示功能。所以定冠词the也可以用同样的角度来了解:凡是上下文中有明指或暗示时,也就是有“那个”的指示功能时,便要用定冠词the。请比较: I need a book to read on my trip. I have finished the book you lent me. Modern history is my favorite subject. The history of recent China is a sorry record. He should be home; I saw a light in his house. Turn off the portal light. I’m going to the office now.
Do you mind if I open the windows?
