掌握每一個語法知識,會讓你在學習英語的時候更加如魚得水。下面是本站小編收集整理的初二英語《定冠詞的常見用法》的必備知識點以供大家學習。
定冠詞也出現在其他11種情況中,非同時注意不可。
⑴用在單數名詞前面,以代表同類的人或物,如:
The ox is a useful animal for farmers.
This type of work is easier for the teacher than for the student.
但當涉及 man 和 woman 這兩個名詞時,一般上不必用 the :
Man is mortal.
Woman differs from man in many ways.
⑵用在單數名詞前面來表示有關名詞的抽象概念,如:
Don't play the fool.
Peter is fond of the bottle.
⑶用在數目字前面,如:
Mr Li is somewhere in the 30s.
She was not yet born in the 50s.
⑷用在測量單位前面,以表示“每”(each/per),如:
Some factory workers are paid by the hour.
This car usually does 15 kilometres to the litre.
⑸用在比較級形容詞或副詞之前,以加強其意義,如:
The teacher explained the idea again, but his students were none the wiser.
Your mind will function all the better if you have some time away from your work.
⑹用在“the more/better……the more/better……”結構裏,如:
The more we practise, the more we improve.
The better the staff, the better the performance.
⑺用在樂器名稱之前,如:
The piano sounds better than the organ.
⑻用在劇院、電影院之前,如:

⑼用在四個方向之前,如:

⑾用在某些慣用語之前,如:
We know the ins and outs of the matter.
Compare the pros and cons before you make your decision.
初二英語必備知識點:疑問附加語isn't it
"John is smart, isn't it?"
這個疑問句裏的附加語(question tag)對嗎?如果是不對的話,錯在哪裏?
在公共場所或辦公室裏,只要稍為留心,不難聽到“ isn't it ? ”這個附加語。這種疑問句是英文幾種疑問句中的一種,主要的用途在強制答話人提供問話人心目中的答案。
這個疑問句有一定的格式,即:
·肯定敍述句(affirmative statement)+否定附加語(見例 ①及②)
·否定敍述句(negative statement)+肯定附加語(見例③及 ④)
①Mary is happy, isn't she?
②They will come, won't they?
③Mary isn't sad, is she?
④They won't come, will they?
此外,附加語中的代名詞(pronoun)和助動詞(auxiliary verb)必須和敍述句中的相符。
這類疑問句看似簡單,其實容易出差錯。其中一個錯誤便是附加語的時態(tense)不對,如:
⑤You could hardly expect him to help you, can you?
⑥The minister will talk about regional cooperation, wouldn't he ?
另外一種錯誤是助動詞的錯用,如:
⑦The clerks are working hard, don't they?
⑧Betty won't be a sportswoman, can she?
“isn't it”的濫用
最常見的錯誤來自“isn't it”的濫用,如:
⑨Jason likes this book very much , isn't it?
⑩She can sing well, isn't it?
team won, isn't it?
g Singaporeans have become achievement - oriented , isn't it?
our teachers are dedicated, isn't it?
will go shopping on Sunday, isn't it?
這6個錯誤的附加語改正如下:
⑨Jason likes this book very much, doesn't he?
⑩She can sing well, can't she?
team won, didn't it?
g Singaporeans have become achievement - oriented, haven't they?
our teachers are dedicated, aren't they?
will go shopping on Sunday, won't they?
"lsn't it ? "在下列3個句子中才是正確的用法:
is fine today, isn't it?
story book is interesting, isn't it?
is worthwhile learning a second language well, isn't it?
現在再看看“John is smart , isn't it ?”錯在哪裏。很明顯的,錯在附加語裏的代名詞:應該是“he ”,不是“it”,全句如下:John is smart, isn't he?
