Language points
1 when did you move here?
讲解:move 表示“搬家、迁移”。后接副词(如 here/there/home)时不用介词;后接名词地点时用 to。
举例:
She moved to Shanghai last year.(她去年搬到了上海。)
When did your family move here?(你家什么时候搬到这里来的?)
2 I remember you lived in the countryside with your grandparents.
讲解:remember 后接:
remember + that 从句 → 记得某事
remember + doing → 记得做过某事(已做)
remember + to do → 记得要去做某事(未做)
举例:
I remember meeting her before.(我记得以前见过她。)(已见)
Please remember to lock the door.(请记得锁门。)(还没锁)
3 you can go to visit them at any time.
讲解:表示“没有时间限制,随时都可以”,常用于表达允许或可能性。

(如果需要帮助,你随时可以给我打电话。)
The library is open at any time during the day.
(图书馆白天随时开放。)
4 It’s very easy to go there by bus now.
讲解:It 作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式短语 to go there。这种结构让句子更平衡,避免头重脚轻。
举例:
It’s important to learn English well.(学好英语很重要。)
It’s not easy to find a good job.(找一份好工作不容易。)
5 By the way, have you got used to the life in the city?
get used to 强调“从不适到适应”的过程,后接名词、代词或动名词(-ing)。
注意区分:
used to do → 过去常常做(现在不做了)
be/get used to doing → 习惯于做
举例:
I can't get used to getting up so early.(我不习惯起这么早。)
He has got used to the food here.(他已经习惯这里的食物了。)
6 Have you got around in the city?
讲解:get around 表示“到处走动、游览、熟悉环境”。在此处指“是否已经在城市里四处逛过、熟悉了”。
举例:
I haven't got around the new neighborhood yet.
(我还没在新区附近逛过。)
We need a car to get around the city.
(我们需要一辆车在城市里四处走动。)
7 I have been busy with my studies.
讲解:
be busy with + 名词 = 忙于某事
be busy (in) doing sth. = 忙于做某事(in可省略)
举例:
She is busy with her homework.(她正忙于做作业。)
They are busy preparing for the exam.(他们正忙于准备考试。)
8 How about going swimming together this weekend?
讲解:How about...? 和 What about...? 都用于提出建议或征求意见,后接名词或动名词(-ing)。
