Unit 3 My School Section A Grammar Focus 教学设计

This part of the teaching materials focuses on grammar, mainly expounding the usage of "There be" sentence pattern and prepositions of place. The Grammar Focus section systematically presents different forms of the "There be" sentence pattern and the application of prepositions of place. Exercises from 3a - 3d provide progressive practice activities, ranging from identification, filling in the blanks to practical application, helping students to consolidate grammar knowledge. The design of the teaching materials attaches great importance to the combination of grammar rules and practical application, which is in line with the law of language learning.

5. "There be" Sentence Pattern

◦       肯定句结构 (Affirmative sentence structure): There be + subject + place/time adverbial. For example, "There is a blackboard in the classroom." When the subject is singular, "be" uses "is"; when the subject is plural, "be" uses "are".
