Topic 116: 怎樣向小朋友解釋 ‘trousers’ 要用眾數形式?

有些名詞一般要用眾數形式表示,如: trousers, jeans👖, shorts , scissors ✂️, tongs,前面的 agreement 也要用 are 而不是 is 。

對小朋友而言,只是「一件」東西,為何要用眾數?家長可跟小朋友解釋,這些東西是由兩部分組成的,如褲👖有兩條褲管,剪刀✂️也有兩部分,所以要寫成:
These are my trousers. (用 are 和 -s)

如加上a pair of,就可用 is (但 trousers 還是要加上 -s):
This is a pair of trousers.

Topic 107: be going to / will 怎樣用?🧐

很多學生覺得be going to / will 都是説將來,那兩者有什麼分別?🤨

簡單來説,
Will:
預計將來有機會發生的事情
e.g. If I study hard, I will pass the test.

Be going to:
(1) 計劃好的事情,所以與 ‘will’ 相比,發生的機會較大
e.g. I am going to have a haircut tomorrow.

(2) 有預兆,所以發生的機會很大
e.g. The sky is dark (預兆). It is going to rain.

註:一般小學英文科測驗或考試的 Tenses
部分都不需用到 ‘be going to’。一般有 ‘tomorrow / next / later / hope / think / guess’ 等 signal words,學生可以用 ‘will’。

Topic 96: 「情態副詞 (adverbs of manner: -ly ) 用來修飾動詞」是一定的定律?

同學們學情態副詞,一般是用在動詞後,如 The girl sings beautifully. (Sing 是動詞,所以用 beautifully,不是 beautiful)。

不過,同學學情態副詞時,不要死記 「動詞後用副詞,is/am/are 用形容詞」這說法,因爲確切地說,情態副詞是用來描述動作如何進行,所以除了verb to be (is/am/are) 後要用形容詞外 (如 I am happy.) ,如果出現如以下的狀態動詞 (stative verbs) 亦應用形容詞:

Look: The girl looks quiet. (Not ‘quietly’)
Sound: The idea sounds good. (Not ‘well’)
Feel: I feel sleepy. (Not ‘sleepily’)
Taste: The food tastes nice. (Not ‘nicely’)
Smell: The flowers smell nice. (Not ‘nicely’)
Keep: Please keep quiet. (Not ‘quietly’)

Topic 80: Hard? Hardly? Late? Lately?

這幾句的意思是甚麼?

1. I study hard.
2. I hardly study.
3. Dad got to work a bit late yesterday.
4. I have not seen my uncle lately.

用作副詞時:
‘hard’ 指「努力」
‘hardly’ 指 「難以」(rarely)
‘late’ 指 「遲到」
‘lately’ 指 「最近」(recently)
所以,第一及第二句可以說意思差不多是相反的。

Topic 79: Adverbs of manner 情狀副詞

下列哪一句正確?

1. John runs fastly.
2. Nancy dances good.
3. Please keep quietly.
4. I feel sad.
5. Your new car looks nicely!

*以上只有第四題是正確的 :
1. 沒有 fastly,’fast’ 的副詞也是’fast’
2. 形容 ‘dances’,所以要把 ‘good’ 轉成 ‘well’
3. ‘Keep’ 不帶動作,後面用形容詞 ‘quiet’
4. ‘Feel’ 不帶動作,所以用形容詞 ’sad’ 是正確的
5. ‘Look’ 不帶動作,後面用形容詞 ‘nice’

註:有關 late/lately 和 hard/hardly ,留待下一講
