1. S + Vt + O + by +
N/V-ing....
說明:1. 此句型為S + Vt + O的衍生用法,即在S + Vt + O之後加上by所引導的介系詞片語,以作為補充說明之用。
2. by +
N/V-ing表示「藉由……,透過……」。

3. Please tell the assistant to send the package by express. (請告訴助理以快遞寄送這個包裹。)
2. It + be + Adj (+ for
someone) + to V....
說明:此句型中的it為虛主詞,代替後面的真主詞to V...。而for someone通常置於句中,且在to V之前;但也可依需要放在句首,或者被省略。
例句
1. It is important for the Japanese to wake up early to see the
first sunrise of the year.

3. For drivers, it is very dangerous to exceed the speed limit. (對駕駛人來說,超速是非常危險的。)
3. ...as + Adj/Adv + as...
說明:1. 此句型表示「和……一樣……」之意,為以形容詞 (Adj) 或副詞 (Adv) 原級來表示兩者在某方面相等的比較。第一個as 是副詞,用來修飾後面的形容詞或副詞,第二個as 是連接詞,引導副詞子句。
2. 當主要子句的動詞為be動詞或連綴動詞時,須接形容詞原級;若為一般動詞時,則接副詞原級。
3. 第二個as所引導的子句與主要子句重覆的部分可以省略。
例句
1. In Russia , New
Year’s Eve is as important as Christmas in the United States .
(在俄羅斯,除夕和美國的聖誕節一樣重要。)

3. Zack sounded as cold as ice is. (Zack 的聲音變得和冰一樣冷。)
4. as a way of + V-ing... 作為…的方式
說明:a way of加上V-ing表示「……的方法或方式」,前面加上介系詞as,有「當作」之意,所以整個片語的意思為「作為……的方式」。
例句
1. The Japanese eat buckwheat noodles as a way of sending
away the old year.
(日本人以吃蕎麥麵的方式送走舊的一年。)
2. Frank sends e-mails as a way of keeping in touch
with his friends in Canada .

3. They set a large playground as a way of attracting
kids.
(他們設置一個大型的遊樂區作為吸引孩童的方式。)
5. sb + spend + 時間/金錢
說明:1. spend的主詞必須為「人」,後接「時間」表示「度過、消磨或花費(時間)」;若接「金錢」則表示「花費(錢)」。
2. 若要表示花時間或錢「在某事物上」,介系詞用on,即sb + spend + 時間/金錢 + on + N;若要表示「做某事」,後面動詞須改為動名詞(V-ing),即sb + spend + 時間/金錢 + V-ing。
例句
1. Most Japanese adults spend a quiet day at home on
New Year’s Day.
