couple作主语谓语用单数还是复数
同意黎老师的观点，查了一些资料，补充说明如下：couple表示“夫妇”“夫妻”且用作主语时，谓语动词可用单数（视为整体，尤其是当有each, every, only one等修饰时）或复数（考虑其个体）。如：Each couple was asked to complete a form. 要求每对夫妇填一张表。The couple were married last week. 这一对夫妇是上星期结的婚...

同时表示两个对称意义的单词
这样的词真还不好找！▲看看下面两句，同是一个defeat，一个表示“战胜”，一个表示“被打败”，意思好像也算是相反吧：We cheered for his defeat of the opponents. 我们为他战胜对手而欢呼。We are sorry for his defeat by the opponents. 他被对手打败了，我们很难过。▲又比如下面一句，由于没有上下文，它有歧义，意思好像...

省略句if not, not的时态
凭感觉，这类从句通常确实是用一般现在时，正如你所举的例子一样。即：1. If it is cheap, I’ll buy it. If not, not. = If it is cheap, I’ll buy it. If it is not cheap, I won’t buy it.2. If you study hard, you’ll succeed. If not, not. = If you study hard, you’ll succeed. If you don’t study hard, you will n...

especially用于举例的名词后
没错，especially 通常是放在被列举的成分之前，但是，有时也确实可以放在被列举的成分之后，尤其是当所列举的例子比较简单时。如：I love science, zoology especially.（张道真《现代英语用法词典》）I like all the children, Lester especially.（张道真《现代英语用法词典》）类似地，only 也有此类用法。比较：I kiss...

初中英语常用句式
这个问题太大，太宽泛，太笼统，真不好回答。即使就是教初三的老师估计也不好回答，从网上找了不少内容，都不合你的要求，勉强找到下面这篇，不知是否是你需要的。这样的问题建议你自己到网上去找。《中考英语常考重要句式归纳》1. How (What) about doing sth 询问消息或征求意见。如：How about having a cup of tea? 喝...

介词with, without的用法
关于with的用法，请参见英语语法网《介词with用法详解》：是一个十分有用的介词，其用法也比较复杂，以下用法值得注意：1. 表示方式、手段或工具等时（=以，用），注意不要受汉语意思的影响而用错搭配，如“用英语”习惯上用in English，而不是with English。2. 与某些抽象名词连用时，其作用相当于一个副词。如：with care=c...

关于互相帮助的英语小故事
Some twenty years ago I was working at an insurance agency and drove to work every day. One day the highway was closed down by an accident, so I had to go a number of miles out of my way, through the countryside. All went well on my way to work.

前缀in-不表示否定的单词
这个问题很有趣，网友 englishlover 提出的两个例子很典型，初学者很容易出错，是两个很好的例子。以 in-开头的单词很多，但要找到更多与 different—indifferent / famous—infamous“类似”的例子还真不容易。想了想，不知道这个对算不算：glorious 荣誉的，光荣的，显赫的inglorious 可耻的，不光彩的

单独的half作主语谓语动词用单数还是用复数
▲Half of…作主语，谓语动词用单数还是复数与half of后所接名词的数有关：Half of it was damaged. 它的一半都被损坏。Half of them are there already. 他们一半人都已到达那里。Half of the cake is given to the children. 蛋糕有一半都给了小孩子们了。Half of the students have failed in the exam. 有一半的学生没考...
