Unit 11 Could you please tell me where the restrooms are
Self-check & Reading

主编:黄冈中学英语集体备课组

Step 1 The introduction to the text

  When we are in a new place, it’s normal for us to ask others for help. If you want to borrow your neighbor’s car, can you say, “Lend me your car.”? Of course not. Your neighbor will be unhappy because a direct order like this sounds impolite. In order not to offend others, you’d better say “Could you please lend me your car?” or “Excuse me, may/can I borrow your car?” or “Excuse me, I wonder if I can use your car.” The three questions which include extra languages are more polite. So it’s important for us to learn not only grammar but also language etiquette. 

Step 2 Language points

I.Key words

1.lend v. 借,常和介词to连用。

My uncle often lends his car to me.

注意:它的过去式和过去分词分别是lent,lent。

拓展:borrow/lend/keep表示“借”时,有什么区别呢?看看下面的两个对话吧!

—Can I borrow your bike?

—Sure. You can keep it for two days. But you can’t lend it to others.

(1)borrow表示主语把某物从别人那里借来,常和from连用。

(2)lend表示主语把某物借给别人。

(3)keep可以接时间段,表示借来后保留多久。

拓展:

拓展:

.key phrases

1.both... and... 两者都,连接两个对等的部分(主语、谓语、宾语、状语等)。

Both Helen and I are good at English.

You can both surf and play beach volleyball here.

He likes both comedies and thrillers.

I watch ball games both on TV and on the Internet.

链接:both...and和not only...but also的区别是什么呢?

(1)当both...and连接两个主语时,谓语用复数。而not only...but also连接两个主语时,谓语动词的形式按照就近一致的原则来确定。所以例1可以换成:

Not only Helen but also I am good at English.

(2)both...and不能连接句子。

2.make requests 要求,请求

While making requests we should be polite.

They made requests for further help.

3.hand in 上交

.key sentences

Your question will sound much more polite.

你的问题听起来将会更有礼貌。

Q:

(1)句中的polite能否换成politely?

(2)much能否换成very?

A:(1)不能。因为句中的sound 意思是“听起来”,是系动词。后面不能接副词politely而要接形容词polite作表语。目前我们所学的系动词还有:smell, look, feel, taste, get, become, turn, seem, keep, stay。系动词后面可以接形容词、名词或者相当于名词或者形容词的短语。

The cake tastes nice and looks good.

All the leaves turn yellow in autumn.

Jim seems unhappy this morning.

What should we do to keep healthy?

(2)much不能换成very。因为句中的much 是用来修饰polite的比较级。可以修饰形容词或者副词比较级的词或短语有:even, still, much, far, rather, a little, a lot.

Yesterday was cold. Today is even colder.

He is feeling a little better now.

 

.Grammar宾语从句(Ⅱ)

一.宾语从句连接词

(一)由whether, if 引导的宾语从句

由whether(if)引导的宾语从句,实际上是一般疑问句演变而来的。意思是“是否”。

I wonder whether(if) they will come to our party.

一般说来,在宾语从句中whether与if可以互换使用,但是在下面两种情况下常用whether。

1.在介词的后面

He’s thinking about whether he will go to the USA for vacation.

2.与or not直接连用时

I can’t say whether or not Maria can arrive here on time.

(二)疑问代词和疑问副词引导的宾语从句

这种结构的宾语从句实际上是由特殊疑问句变化而来。连接代词有:who, whom, whose, which, what。连接副词有:when, where, why, how。我们可以根据下文的答语来确定该用哪个连接词。 看看下面的句子是否正确。

1.—Can you tell me who he is?

—He is a doctor. (重庆D选项)

2.—I wonder how long you’ll water this kind of tree.

—Once a week.(苏州B选项)

二.宾语从句的时态

(一)主句是一般现在时,从句根据实际情况使用任何时态。

I hope you have a good time.

(二)主句是过去时态,从句须用过去时态的某种形式。

She was sorry that she hadn’t finished her work on time.

(三)当宾语从句表示的是一个客观真理或者事实时,即使主句是过去时,从句也用一般现在时态。

The teacher told us that Taiwan is the largest island in China.
