Topic 110: on / in the bookshelf / bookshelves?

‘Bookshelf’ 的中文是書架,指的不是整個書櫃,而是一層,所以要用 ‘on’。

I have found my storybook on the bookshelf. 我在書架上(指一層)找到了我的故事書。

I put all the books on the bookshelves. 我把所有的書都放在書架上(指多於一層或整個書櫃)。

Topic 108: 作文只懂用 ‘said’😨

英作跟中作一樣,可以用語言描寫表達角色的心情或性格。我們應該用不同的 saying verbs,以加強說話者的情感,如:

回答:answered, replied
建議:suggested, advised
命令:ordered
歉意:apologised
同意:agreed
懇求:begged
傷心地説:sobbed, cried
興奮地説:laughed, exclaimed
震驚地説:exclaimed
抱怨地説:groaned
取笑:jeered, teased
輕聲說:whispered
喃喃自語:murmured, muttered

例: ‘I have to stay at home. I have so much homework to do,’ groaned Peter.

注意: 説話內容 (’...’) 再加上說話者(groaned Peter) 才是一句完整句子,所以 ‘I have so much homework to do’ 後要用 comma (,) 不應用 full stop (.)

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 106: 現在進行式:魚蛋/魚丸法🍡😂

很多小一至小三的小朋友,做現在進行式的題目時,往往忘記加 is/am/are, 例如把 I am running. 寫成 I running.

我們可以提醒他們,一串魚蛋最少有三粒(顆): subject + verb to be + -ing
如: I + am + running.
缺少了任何一粒都不可呀! 😋🍢

Topic 104: 過去分詞(現在完成式)快速記憶法

之前也談及過,以分組形式記過去分詞(現在完成式)絕對是又快又易的方法!(附圖就是小學生最常用的68個過去分詞)

1. i -> a -> u
2. Present form + -n/-ne/-en
3. Past form -n/-en
4. = past form
5. No change
6. Special case

還要記得牢牢的,就是以下5個有double consonant 的變化:
Ride -> rode -> ridden
Write -> wrote -> written
Bite -> bit -> bitten
Hide -> hid -> hidden
Forget -> forgot -> forgotten

*get -> got -> gotten 是美式,英式我們沿用 get -> got -> got

Topic 103: When / While 不應死記

教學生 when / while,不能一味靠死記何時用 simple past tense 或何時用 past continuous tense ,而是應該讓學生明白背後的意思。

When / While 用於連繋兩個動作或兩件事情:

I was doing homework (長動作,用 was /were -ing,因為做功課不會只做一分鐘,一定是一段時間) when someone knocked on the door. (短動作,用 simple past tense,因為敲門只需用很少時間)

I was doing homework while my brother was watching TV. (兩邊都是長動作,用 was /were -ing,因為做功課和看電視不會只做一分鐘,一定是一段時間)
