1. Perhaps we all know the __________ (express) of being polite, such as "Excuse me" and "Pardon me".(这一句是作业里的,答案是expressions)
2. The expressions they use might depend on whom they are speaking to or how well they know each other.(这一句是书本里的)
第一次出现用a/an,第二次开始用the, 但是,这两句话之前从来没有出现过expressions一词,这两句突然the expressions!那也不像“特指”啊!我知道the加单数可数名词表类别,这里的the加了可数名词复数,为什么?两句都可以是expression单数吗?
谢谢!
