知识精讲-语法篇
一、感叹句
一、语法概述

1.What +a/an+形容词+单数可数名词+(主语+谓语)!
e.g. What a red apple this is! e.g. What a fine day it is!
2.What+形容词+可数名词复数或不可数名词+(主语+谓语)!
e.g. What kind women they are! e.g. What nice weather it is!

【注意】what引导的感叹句和how引导的感叹句可以互换,但只适用于含有形容词的句子。
如:What a good student he is! = .【做题技巧】
1.永远没有How a/an;
2.形(形容词)名(名词)紧相连,what放句前。
当形容词和名词中间没有任何其他词时,用What引导;
当形容词和名词中间有其他词隔开时,用How引导。
注意:用What引导感叹句时,要注意名词的单复数问题,从而判断用What a/an还是What。

一、语法概述
在复合句中,作宾语的从句叫宾语从句。
二、宾语从句三大考点:语序、时态、引导词(连接词)陈述句语序:主语+谓语
语序
if/whether:意为“是否”,不作句子成分,但不能省略
引导词
that:本身无意义,只起连接作用,口语中可省略
特殊疑问词:what、which、who、whom、whose(连接代词)
why、how、when、where(连接副词)
主过从过
时态
主现从任
真理永一现
【时态用法详解】

【练一练】
(1)I remember that he (give) me a book yesterday.
(2)He tells me that he (leave) for New York tomorrow.
(3)I find that he (read) others’ letters now.
2.主过从过:如果主句是过去的某种时态(一般过去时、过去进行时),那么宾语从句要用过去的某种时态(一般过去时、过去进行时、过去将来时、过去完成时)。
【练一练】He told me that he (take) part in the high jump at that time yesterday.
3.真理永一现:如果宾语从句表示的是客观事实或真理,即使主句是过去时,从句也用一般现在时。
【练一练】Our teacher told us that the earth (travel) around the sun.
【拓展延伸】
一般情况下,whether和if可以互换.但以下三种情况只能用whether.
(1) 当宾语从句中出现了or not 例:Let me know whether you can come or not.
(2) 当宾语从句位于介词之后时 例:I’m thinking of whether I should go fishing.
(3) 当与不定式(to do)连用时 例:I don’t know whether to accept or refuse.
重点:if的两种用法意为“如果”时,用于条件状语从句中,时态遵循“主将从现”原则
意为“是否”时,用于宾语从句中,时态根据实际情况来决定
【即学即用】

Falling on the 15th day of the 8th month according to the Chinese lunar calendar, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the second greatest festival in China after the Chinese New Year. It takes its name from the fact that it is always celebrated in the middle of the autumn season. The day is also known as the Moon Festival, as at that time of the year the moon is at its roundest and brightest.
History The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival connected with the full moon. The ancient Chinese discovered that the movement of the moon had a close relationship with changes of the seasons and agricultural production. So, to express their thanks to the moon and celebrate the harvest, they offered sacrifices to the moon on autumn days. This custom could be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the custom had no festival background at all. Later in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, social prosperity inspired the custom of thanking the moon on the moon sacrifice ceremony day among common people. By the time of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival had already become a widely-celebrated folk festival.
Legend Generally speaking, the festival is to commemorate Chang’e, who flew to the moon.
Customs On that day, family members get together to offer sacrifices to the moon, thank the bright full moon, eat moon cakes and express strong wishes to family members and friends who live far away.
Moon cakes are the special food of the Mid-Autumn Festival. On that day, people sacrifice moon cakes to the moon as an offering and eat them for celebration. Moon cakes come in different tastes according to the areas. The moon cakes are round, symbolizing the reunion of a family. Nowadays, people present moon cakes to relatives and friends to show that they wish them a long and happy life.

Do you know World Smile Day? It falls on the first Friday of October every year. It is a day to make others smile, and to make sure you have a smile on your face as well.
It is said that Harvey Ball, an artist from the USA, created it. It began as a bright yellow circle with two dots (圆点) and a curved (弯曲的) black line. The two dots are eyes and the curved black line is a smiling mouth. Later, Harvey came up with the idea of the smiling face for World Smile Day to make people devote (奉献) one day each year to smiles and kind acts.
There are a number of things you can do on that day to make people around you smile. You can do little acts of kindness, like buying a stranger a cup of coffee, offering your seat to people in need on the bus, etc. Or you can surprise someone in your family with a gift, by cooking a meal for them, or doing something special for them.

2.What+形容词+可数名词复数或不可数名词+(主语+谓语)!
e.g. What kind women they are! e.g. What nice weather it is!
(二)由How引导的感叹句:how用来修饰形容词、副词或动词,有以下三种形式:
1.How +形容词+a/an+单数可数名词+主语+谓语!
e.g. How fine a day it is! e.g. How interesting a book it is!
2.How +形容词/副词+(主语+谓语)!
e.g. How hard the worker are working! e.g. How clever the girl is!
3.How +主语+谓语!
e.g. How time flies! 时光飞逝!
【注意】what引导的感叹句和how引导的感叹句可以互换,但只适用于含有形容词的句子。
如:What a good student he is! = How good a student he is! .【做题技巧】
1.永远没有How a/an;
2.形(形容词)名(名词)紧相连,what放句前。
当形容词和名词中间没有任何其他词时,用What引导;
当形容词和名词中间有其他词隔开时,用How引导。
注意:用What引导感叹句时,要注意名词的单复数问题,从而判断用What a/an还是What。

二、宾语从句
一、语法概述
在复合句中,作宾语的从句叫宾语从句。
二、宾语从句三大考点:语序、时态、引导词(连接词)陈述句语序:主语+谓语
语序
if/whether:意为“是否”,不作句子成分,但不能省略
引导词
that:本身无意义,只起连接作用,口语中可省略
特殊疑问词:what、which、who、whom、whose(连接代词)
why、how、when、where(连接副词)
主过从过
时态
主现从任
真理永一现
【时态用法详解】
1.主现从任:主句是现在的某种时态(一般现在时、现在进行时、现在完成时),宾语从句的时态根据实际情况而定。
【练一练】
(1)I remember that he gave (give) me a book yesterday.
(2)He tells me that he will leave (leave) for New York tomorrow.
(3)I find that he is reading (read) others’ letters now.
2.主过从过:如果主句是过去的某种时态(一般过去时、过去进行时),那么宾语从句要用过去的某种时态(一般过去时、过去进行时、过去将来时、过去完成时)。
【练一练】He told me that he was taking (take) part in the high jump at that time yesterday.
3.真理永一现:如果宾语从句表示的是客观事实或真理,即使主句是过去时,从句也用一般现在时。
【练一练】Our teacher told us that the earth travels (travel) around the sun.
【拓展延伸】
一般情况下,whether和if可以互换.但以下三种情况只能用whether.
(1) 当宾语从句中出现了or not 例:Let me know whether you can come or not.
(2) 当宾语从句位于介词之后时 例:I’m thinking of whether I should go fishing.
(3) 当与不定式(to do)连用时 例:I don’t know whether to accept or refuse.
重点:if的两种用法意为“如果”时,用于条件状语从句中,时态遵循“主将从现”原则
意为“是否”时,用于宾语从句中,时态根据实际情况来决定
【即学即用】
—Let's go camping if it_____C_____ next Saturday.
—But nobody knows if it ___________.
A.is fine; rains B.will be fine: rains
C.is fine: will rain D.will be fine: will rain

Falling on the 15th day of the 8th month according to the Chinese lunar calendar, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the second greatest festival in China after the Chinese New Year. It takes its name from the fact that it is always celebrated in the middle of the autumn season. The day is also known as the Moon Festival, as at that time of the year the moon is at its roundest and brightest.
History The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival connected with the full moon. The ancient Chinese discovered that the movement of the moon had a close relationship with changes of the seasons and agricultural production. So, to express their thanks to the moon and celebrate the harvest, they offered sacrifices to the moon on autumn days. This custom could be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the custom had no festival background at all. Later in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, social prosperity inspired the custom of thanking the moon on the moon sacrifice ceremony day among common people. By the time of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival had already become a widely-celebrated folk festival.
Legend Generally speaking, the festival is to commemorate Chang’e, who flew to the moon.
Customs On that day, family members get together to offer sacrifices to the moon, thank the bright full moon, eat moon cakes and express strong wishes to family members and friends who live far away.

Do you know World Smile Day? It falls on the first Friday of October every year. It is a day to make others smile, and to make sure you have a smile on your face as well.
It is said that Harvey Ball, an artist from the USA, created it. It began as a bright yellow circle with two dots (圆点) and a curved (弯曲的) black line. The two dots are eyes and the curved black line is a smiling mouth. Later, Harvey came up with the idea of the smiling face for World Smile Day to make people devote (奉献) one day each year to smiles and kind acts.
There are a number of things you can do on that day to make people around you smile. You can do little acts of kindness, like buying a stranger a cup of coffee, offering your seat to people in need on the bus, etc. Or you can surprise someone in your family with a gift, by cooking a meal for them, or doing something special for them.
