五、语法
1. what, why, who引导的特殊疑问句。
2. 表示品质的形容词
六、疑难解析
1. What’s your favorite subject? 你最喜欢的科目是什么？
用句型What’s your favorite…? 问最喜欢的东西是什么。favorite在这里是形容词“喜闻乐见的，最中意的，最喜爱的”，用来修饰名词。在英美口语中经常用。
例如：one’s favorite book 最喜爱的书
one’s favorite movie 最喜爱的电影
还可做名词，意为“最喜欢的人，最喜欢的物”。
例如：What would you like to drink, tea or coffee? 您是喝茶还是喝咖啡？
Tea, please! It’s my favorite. 喝茶，茶是我最喜欢的。
2. 特殊疑问句
以疑问代词who, whom, whose, what, which等或疑问副词when, where, why, how等开头的疑问句是特殊疑问句。how有时与形容词或副词构成词组，how many多少（后紧跟可数名词），how much多少（后紧跟不可数名词），how old 多大年纪，how far多远（指距离），how long多长（指长度），多久（指时间长短），how often多长时间一次（指频率）。
本册书中出现的特殊疑问句有：
What:
What’s your/name/phone number/ favorite subject?
What’s this/that in English?
What kind of movies do you like?
What club do you want to join?
What can you do?
What time is it? What time do you usually get up?
What language does she speak?
她说什么语言？
Who:
Who’s this/that?
Who’s your maths teacher?

When:
When is your birthday?
When does Alicia take a shower?

Which:
Which man is Jim’s father?
Which pen is yours?
How many:
How many oranges can you see?
Can you answer these questions above?
你会回答上面这些问题吗？
3. have 用法小结
前面我们学习的have/has意为“具有”，是状态而不是一个动作。但have/has可以和某些名词搭配，构成固定的动词词组，具有不同的意思。
注意学习并掌握下面短语，并注意have的意思。
have breakfast/lunch/supper 吃早饭/中饭/晚饭
have tea 喝茶 have fun 娱乐
have a drink 喝杯饮料（或酒）
have a walk 散步
have a talk 谈话，发言
have a swim 游泳
have classes 上课
4. be strict with sb. 对某人要求严格
strict 严格、严厉的
strict rules 严格的规则
She is strict with her children. 她对孩子要求严格。
My teacher is strict in his work.
我的老师对他的工作要求严格。
5. 忙着干某事
busy free a busy day 忙碌的一天。
如：I’m busy with my homework.
我忙着写作业。
Mr Smith is busy with writing a book.
史密斯先生正忙着写一本书。
6. make sb. do sth. 迫使某人干某事
make sb. ＋adj. （形）使某人怎么样。
△make做 构成短语
make tea 泡茶
make faces 做鬼脸
make friends 交朋友
make bed 铺床
make a fire 生火
△make sb. do sth. 与Let sb. do sth. 用法相似。let的语气弱一些。
如：He often makes me do homework very long hours. 他经常迫使我长时间地做作业。
Don’t let me do homework very long hours. 不要让我长时间的做作业。
You make me too tired. 你使我太累了。
7. 如何询问钟点，星期，日期及date和day的区别
△date与day都有日子的意思，但有区别，用法不同。
（1）day：①指24小时的一整天，也单指白天，与night相对。如：
day and night 日夜
②表示星期与重要的日子，如：
Children’s Day 儿童节
（2）date： 指“日期”即“几月几日”如：
The date of his birth is July 1, 1990. 他的生日是1990年7月1日。
8. 介词for的用法小结
介词fro在不同的情景中有不同的用法。
（1）表示目的“为了”，如：I want to go back for my pen. 我要回去拿笔。
（2）表示对象，用途等，“为”“对于”“适于”。如：bags for sports or school 运动包或书包 socks in all colors for just￥2 售价两元的各种颜色的袜子。
（3）引导时间段，表示一般时间。如：After school, I have gymnastics for two hours.
（4）与动词搭配：look for 寻找，be late for 迟到。
9. start 与finish
start“开始”，反义词finish“结束”。如：
School starts at nine o’clock. 学校九点钟开始上课。
All my classes finish at 2:00. 我的所有课程在两点钟结束。
10. 评论事物的表达法
对事物的评论可有多种表达方式。如：
（1）“Why do you like English?”
“Because it’s very useful.”
“你为什么喜爱英语？”“因为英语很有用。”
（2）“What do you think of the movie?”
“Very interesting/boring/exciting. /I find it very interesting/boring/exciting.”
“你觉得这部电影怎么样？”“非常有趣/无聊/刺激。”
（3）“How do you like the story?”
“It’s fun.”
“你觉得这部小说怎么样？”“有趣。”
（4）“What about your study of physics?”
“Not very good.”
“你的物理学习情况怎么样？”
“恐怕不是很好。”
11. 英语中星期的来历及使用
一年有365天、12个月、52个星期。一个星期有7天。英语中这七天的名称大部分来自条顿族，是条顿族从罗马人那里借过来的。
星期日表示罗马人尊崇太阳而把这一天定为太阳日，英语中太阳为sun，星期日便称Sunday，这是一周的第一天。
星期一是罗马人的月亮日，英语中月亮为moon，星期一便为Monday。
从星期二到星期五都是条顿族定名的，依次为Tuesday（战神）、Wednesday（众神之王）、Thursday（雷神）、Friday（爱神），星期六Saturday则是罗马人为纪念Saturn而确立的名称。
按照国际习惯，星期日为一个星期的第一天，星期六为一个星期的最后一天。
表达星期时应注意以下几点：
（1）第一个字母要大写，如：Sunday, Monday。
（2）星期前面用on，如：on Monday, on Monday morning。
（3）星期的缩写Sun. ，Mon.，Tues.，Wedn.，Thur.或Thurs.，Fri.，Sat.。
