句式精讲精练
【句式精讲】
1. He was cute and he did something really difficult.
something really difficult意为“确实困难的事情”,形容词difficult作后置定语修饰不定代词something。形容词修饰不定代词,常放在不定代词之后,即形容词作不定代词的后置定语。例如:
There is nothing new in today’s newspaper.
今天的报纸上没有什么新鲜事。
Do you have anything important to tell me?
你有什么重要的事情要告诉我吗?
【拓展】
(1)不定代词作主语时,相当于第三人称单数。例如:
Something is wrong. 某东西有问题。
(2) 常见的不定代词还有:anything; nothing; somebody; someone; anybody; nobody; no one等
2. Chinese writing takes a lot of practice.
这里的take意为“花费”,句式 “It takes sb. some time to do sth.”意为“花费某人多长时间做某事”。 例如:
It takes me one hour to play basketball every day.
我每天花费一个小时打篮球。
【注意】
在“It takes sb. some time to do sth.”句型中,take后面的sb.用代词时,要用宾格形式,sb.有时可以省略不写。例如:
It takes two hours to fly to Shanghai. 飞到上海需要两个小时。
表示“花费”的spend、take、cost和pay的辨析:

例如:
