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.
農曆新年快到了，快為親友送上賀年祝福吧！

Topic 17: Prepositions 介詞
以下幾題應該填上哪個介詞？
afraid ___ frightened ___
scared ___ terrified ___
Answer: I am afraid / frightened / scared / terrified of snakes.
Tips: 正好這幾個與「害怕」有關的形容詞原來都是配上 "of" 的
**記介詞其實沒有一定準則，很多介詞的配搭都要靠多用多記呀！

Topic 8: 如何教小朋友記英文不規則動詞的過去式？（the past tense of the irregular verbs) (Part 5)
先考考大家：
lay（放置；敷；產卵）--> ？

Topic 7: in/on the bus?
以下哪一句正確?
1. I am in the bus.
2. I am on the bus.
究竟 ' in' 和 'on' 分別適用於哪些交通工具呢?
其實我們大致用可站立和不可站立來分類：
可站立的用 'on'， 不可站立的用 'in'
如：
on: the bus/the train/the ferry/the plane/the cable car
in: the car/the taxi/the van
至於車站，則一律用 'at'，如：
at: the bus stop/the taxi stand/the airport/the MTR station。

Topic 6:
如何教小朋友記英文不規則動詞的過去式？ （the past tense of the irregular verbs) (Part 4)
今次為大家講解規則四：
規則四：-e 的組合
-e 的變化有幾種，如:
-end --> -ent (e.g. send --> sent)
-ell --> -old (e.g. sell --> sold)
-eep --> -ept (e.g. sleep --> slept)
-eel --> -elt (e.g. feel --> felt)
-eak --> -oke (e.g. break -> broke)
-eal --> -ole (e.g. steal --> stole)
-ear --> ore (e.g. wear --> wore)
註：hear --> heard (NOT hore)
記住這幾個變化，當一些類似的生字出現時，便不難找出過去式：
如 'Weep'，依據以上的規則，過去式便是 'wept'了。
