Topic 28: Subject-verb agreement (2)

Fill in the blanks with 'like' or 'likes':

1. My father, as well as my mother, ___ me.
2. My sisters, like my mother, ___ me. 

'As well as' 及 'like' 等視乎第一個主語是複數或單數:
4. 第一個主語是 'my father' ,所以用 'likes'
5. 第一個主語是 'my sisters',所以用 'like'

Topic 26: be and not be

1. Tony ___ (not like) desserts.

2. Tony ___ (not be) naughty.

很多學生看到此類題目就怕怕,其實只要記住提示中沒有"be" 時就用 "do/does/did" 等,有"be" 時就用"is/am/are/was/were" 等 verbs "to be" 已可。

另一做法是可着學生嘗試先把以上句子讀作實証句 (positive statements): Tony likes desserts./Tony is naughty. 那改作否定句 (negative statements)時就是 : Tony does not like desserts./Tony is not naughty. (答案)

Topic 22: Buy for? Buy to?

以下是一些常用的「動詞+介詞」配搭:

Buy for
Give to
