Topic 29: 容易令人混淆的生字:lie
1. I _____ never ________ (lie) to my parents.
2. I _____ just ________ (lie) on the lawn.
第一題的"lie" 是説謊的意思:
Lie -> lied -> lied
所以答案是 : have ... lied
第二題的"lie" 是躺的意思:
Lie -> lay -> lain
所以答案是 : have ... lain

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'

Fill in the blanks with 'is' or 'are':

3: 'Neither': 書面及正式英語 (formal writing) 用 單數動詞 ,即 'is',非正式寫作及口語可用 'are'

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 23: So much? So many?
"There is so much housework to do!"
因為 "housework" 是不可數名詞,所以我們會用 "so much/a little",
以下列出了部分常用的不可數名詞:
homework housework paper money furniture jewellery rubbish litter
Topic 22: Buy for? Buy to?
以下是一些常用的「動詞+介詞」配搭:
Buy for
Give to
Send to
Lend to
Borrow from
Receive from
所以我們會說:
I bought a book for my brother.
I bought him a book.
而不會用:
I bought a book to my brother.
