1. N + who/which/that + be Vpp... → N + Vpp...

2. 附加問句的主詞須用代名詞,並與主要子句中的主詞一致。
3. 附加問句的動詞須和主要子句的動詞一致:若主要子句用一般動詞或助動詞,附加問句要用相對應的助動詞;主要子句用be動詞則附加問句也要用be動詞。
4. 肯定的主要子句搭配否定的附加問句,否定的主要子句則搭配的肯定附加問句。須注意的是,若主要子句裡有seldomneverhardly 等含否定意味的字詞,則句意視為否定,須用肯定附加問句。
例句 1. He didn't want me to look up above him, did he?
(他應該不是要我往他頭上看,對吧?)
2. Kim is fluent in Japanese, isn't she?

3. N + who/which/that + V... → N + V­ing...
說明 1. 關係子句中的關係代名詞若為主格時,可將關係代名詞省略,並將子句中的動詞改為現在分詞(V­ing)簡化成現在分詞片語,來修飾先行詞(N)
2. 若關係子句為進行式,則直接省略關係代名詞及be動詞,保留V­ing 即可。

4. wh­ + S + V → wh­ + to V
說明 疑問詞wh­ (who(m)whatwhenwherewhichhow)引導的名詞子句中,若句意為「應該……」或「可以……」,通常可簡化成名詞片語wh­ + to V。此類的名詞子句中常搭配shouldcancould等助動詞。

2. 若副詞子句為否定句,改成分詞構句時,否定詞須置於分詞之前。

我希望...到底是 wish 還是 hope?


hope 希望

◎ hope 是用來表達希望過去、現在或未來可能發生的情況。注意,是「可能發生」的事情喔!以下舉例說明:
I hope you had a great time at last night's party.
(我希望你在昨晚的派對度過愉快的時光。)
I hope it's not raining now.
(我希望現在沒有下雨。)
He is really hardworking. I hope he will succeed with his new business.
(他很努力。我希望他的新事業會成功。)
※ 發現了嗎?上面三個句子,分別是描述過去、現在、未來的句子,但三件事情都是有可能發生的,所以要搭配 hope 喔!

wish 希望

◎ wish 比較像「奢望」,因為是要表達的通常是與現在事實相反或不太可能發生的事,這種情況下會搭配過去式動詞。來看看例子吧:
I wish I were a boy.
(我希望我是個男孩。)

→ 說這句話的人一定是女生,所以說這句話的人希望的是「與現在事實相反的事情」。
I wish I had never met him, or I wouldn't be so heartbroken now.
(我真希望我從沒見過他,不然我現在也不會那麼心痛了。)
→ 失戀的人可能會這樣說,但一定是已經見過他才會說出這樣的話,所以也是「與現在事實相反」的情況喔。
I wish I didn't have work tomorrow. I’ve been so tired recently.
(我真希望明天不用工作。我最近實在太累了。)
→ 希望明天突然不用上班是「不太可能發生的」事情,所以要搭配的動詞也是 wish。
◎ wish 有另一種用法,並非表達不太可能發生的事情,而是表達我們希望發生在他人身上的事情,最常見的就是祝福的話。這種用法中 wish 其實偏向 hope 的意思,因為說話者是希望這些祝福的話實現的。舉個大家常聽到的例子:
We wish you a merry Christmas.
(我們祝你聖誕快樂。)
I wish you good luck.
(祝你好運。)
I wish you happiness in your marriage.
(我祝你婚姻幸福快樂。)
◎ 另一種用法 wish + to + 原形動詞,表達的意思其實和 want 很像,也就是「想要」意思。例如:
If you wish to discuss this further, feel free to contact me anytime.
(如果你還想和我進一步討論這件事,歡迎隨時聯絡我。)
If you wish to read in silence, you can go to the library next door.
(如果你想安靜看書的話,你可以去隔壁的圖書館。)

解析 little、few 大秘訣!

英文中,常常在名詞前面會有 little 跟 few 這兩個字,它們有什麼差別呢?而有時候看到這兩個字以 a little / a few 呈現,又是要用在什麼時機呢?今天要來幫大家釐清這兩個很相似,使用上卻要特別注意的字喔!

基本規則

基本上,我們要先知道一個大規則:
◎ few + 可數名詞複數形,例如:few books / few friends / few cups
◎ little + 不可數名詞單數形,例如:little water / little money / little information

有沒有 a 差很多

單說 few / little 的話,是帶有「否定」的字喔,因此 few / little something 意思是「非常少,幾乎沒有的某物」,舉個例子:
There’s little information about it. Can you ask someone who would know?
(幾乎沒有關於它的資訊。你能夠問問知道的人嗎?)

Few people knew about her secret.
(很少人知道她的祕密。)
但是如果加上 a 變成 a few / a little 的話,就不再是帶有否定的字囉,而是指「一些」,意思等同於 some,但也是用來指數量不太多,例如:
Do you need a little more time to look through the project?
(你需要更多的一些時間來看過這個專案嗎?)

I want to borrow a few books to read this summer.
(這個夏天我想借一些書來讀。)

代名詞使用法

有時候如果談論的東西非常明確的話,也會直接把 few / little / a few / a little 當作代名詞使用,而不在後面接名詞。例如:
I heard the stand over there has the best lemonade. I want to get a little before we leave
(我聽說那邊那個攤子有最棒的檸檬水。我想要在我們離開之前買一些。)

→ 因為前半句已經提到 lemonade,指涉對象很明確,因此後面用 a little 來代指檸檬水。
Nowadays few would go to video rental stores for movies!
(現在很少人會去影片出租店租電影了!)

→ 因為只有人才會去租影片,因此直接用 few 來代指少數人。

其他用法

如果在 few / little / a few / a little 後面有冠詞、指示代名詞(a / an / the / this / that)或是代名詞、所有格(me / you / him / my / your...等)就需要搭配介係詞 of,變成 few of / little of / a few of / a little of。會這樣使用:
Little of my own time was left after we had a baby.
(在我們有一個寶寶之後,我自己的時間就剩下很少了。)

We have a few of these toys left on sale.
(我們有剩下一些這種玩具在特價中。)
另外要注意 a little 還能當作「副詞」喔!例如:
I felt a little better after I took the medicine.
(在我吃過藥後,我感覺好一些了。)

It rained a little yesterday.
(昨天下了一點雨。)

『might have + 過去分詞』這是什麼用法?


用法

其實 might / would / should / could...等這些助動詞加上完成式的時候,可以表示「過去某件事應該發生,但事實上沒有發生」。結構為「might / would / should / could + have + 過去分詞」,注意因為助動詞後面需用原形,因此完成式只會用 have 喔,其他 has 或是 had 通通都不行!
而關於這些助動詞彼此的差異,我們可以這樣理解:其中 might 表達一種推測,意思是「可能」;而 would 則表示「會...」;should 是指「應該」;could 表示「可能、可以」。
例如剛剛那句:I should have taken your advice. 表示我當時應該要聽從你的建議(但其實我沒有聽從)。
再多舉幾個例子:
He could have helped me, but he just went away and left me alone there.
(他原本可以幫我的,但他就直接走掉,留我一個人在那裡。)
事實就是:他沒有幫我
Without your support, I wouldn’t have become who I am today.
(沒有你的支持的話,我不會變成今天的我。)
事實就是:其實我有你的支持
I might have missed the bus. Fortunately, the bus was delayed a bit, and I got on at the last minute.
(我原本可能會錯過公車的。幸運的是,公車有點延誤,而我就在最後一刻搭上去了。)
事實就是:早上沒有錯過公車
換你試試看:
Diana could _____(make) it here, but she got a phone call from her boss and needed to hurry back to the office.
(Diana 原本可以來的,但她接到她老闆的電話,需要趕回去公司。)
I’m sorry. I shouldn’t _____(say) that.
(我很抱歉。我不該那樣說的。)

the 的最高級用法

最漂亮、最酷、最可愛...,這些詞的最高級我們都會說:the most beautiful、the coolest、the cutest…,但是英文中竟然有不需要加上「the」的最高級用法!到底什麼時候會這樣用呢?一起來看看吧!

一般需要加 the 的情況

通常要用最高級表示時都要加上 the,舉幾個我們常見的例子:
She is the most beautiful girl I’ve ever met.(她是我見過最漂亮的女孩。)
He is the best student in the class.(他是班上最優秀的學生。)

不需要加 the 的情況

最高級在許多情況下時常不需要加上 the,大概有以下幾種情況:
1. 未和其他人、事、物相比時不需加 the。如:
He's busiest on Mondays.(他星期一最忙。)
2. 最高級前有所有格時,不用 the。如:
She is my best friend.(她是我最好的朋友。)
→ 前有所有格 my,表達「我的」,此時不需要加上 the。
New Guinea is the world's second-largest island. (新幾內亞是世界第二大島。)
→ 前有 the world’s,表達「世界上的」,此時不需要加上 the。
That’s our most important objective at the moment.(那是現在我們最重要的目標。)
→ 前有 our 「我們的」,此時不需要加上 the。
3. 在非正式、口語使用中,最高級放在後面說明主詞性質時,有時可以省略 the。例如:
Which of the boys is (the) strongest?(這些孩子中哪個最強壯?)
Sandy and Cathy are (the) most intelligent.(Sandy 和 Cathy 最聰穎。)
She works (the) best at night.(她在半夜時工作狀況最好。)

spend、cost、take

今天要來看看英文中花金錢、花時間的「花」到底要怎麼用!我們必須先認識英文表示花費的三大天王--spend、cost、take,它們的使用規則各有不同喔,以下一一介紹。

三「花」天王

◎ spend 花時間、花金錢
spend 的動詞三態為 spend-spent-spent。注意 spend 的主詞必須是「人」,用法是「人 + spend time / money」。
後面如果要加上花錢、花時間的對象,要搭配 on 這個介係詞,變成「spend time / money on something」;而如果要加一個動作的話,就必須用動名詞「spend time / money doing something」。
例句 1:I’m exhausted because I spent the whole night preparing for the big exam.
(我累壞了,因為我花整個晚上準備大考。)
例句 2:You’d be surprised to hear that she spent 2,000 dollars on a trash can!
(你會很驚訝聽到她在一個垃圾桶上花了兩千塊!)
◎ cost 花金錢
注意喔,cost 的主詞必須要用「事物」,它的動詞三態變化為 cost-cost-cost。這個字的用法為「某物 cost(某人)money」,也可以說「it costs / cost(某人)+ 金錢 + to do something」。
例句 1:This ring cost me 15,000 dollars.
(這只戒指花了我一萬五千元。)
例句 2:It cost us 60,000 dollars torenovate the kitchen.
(整修廚房花了我們六萬塊。)
◎ take 花時間
take 的主詞也是「事物」,用法為「某事物 take(某人)time」,也可以說「it takes / took(某人)+ 時間 + to do something」。
例句 1:The homework last night took me two hours.
(昨晚的作業花了我兩小時。)
例句 2:It took me three months to plan out this trip.
(計畫這趟旅行花了我三個月。)

牛刀小試

想一想下面句子的空格應該要填上什麼字!
1. This trip _____ me 2,000 dollars.(這趟旅行花了我兩千元。)
2. This assignment _____ me five days to finish. (這作業花了我五天完成。)
3. I _____ a lot of money on this trip!(我花了很多錢在這旅行上面!)

答案:1. cost;2. took;3. spent。
