much 修饰动词 like 只限于否定句和疑问句,不用于肯定句。如:误:I much like English.误:I like English much.正:I don't like English much.正:Do you like English much?但如果 much 本身带有修饰语(如very, so, too等)的话,则可以用于肯定句中修饰 much。如:正:I very much like English.正:I like English...

用单数动词或复数动词均可,虽然用复数动词不能完全算错(按就近原则处理),但肯定以用单数动词更合适。因为这个句子真正的主语应该是 nobody,后面的 not even the teachers 只是主语的一个补充说明。Nobody, not even the teachers, knows the answer.

虽然 hair 与 beard 都是身上的“毛”,但用法不同: (1) hair的用法:hair的意思是“头发”“毛发”,它指的是某人的全部头发或某动物的全部毛发,此时为集合名词(不可数)。如:My hair has grown very long. 我的头发已长得很长了。但是,若指具体的一根或几根头发或毛发,则为个体名词,它是可数的。如:The police found tw...

think to do sth 的意思不是“想做某事”,而是“想到或料到做某事”(这是一种比较正式的用法)。所以网友的句子意思不是“我不想问他的名字”,而是“我未曾想到要问他的名字”,也就是说“我忘记问他的名字了”。又如:I didn’t think to tell her. 我没有想到要告诉她。I didn’t think to see you here. 没想到在这儿见到你。I di...

当 there be…用作介词宾语时,原则上是用 there being。如:They planned on there being another meeting. 他们打算再开一次会议。There is now some hope of there being a settlement of the dispute. 现在还有点希望可以解决这次争端。但这种用法有一种例外,那就是这个介词不能是for,即用作介词for的宾语时不用 there...

时间段作主语时,谓语动词到底用单数还是复数主要取决于语意——若把“一段时间”视为一个整体,则谓语动词用单数;若把“一段时间”视为多个个体,则谓语动词用复数。Ten years is a long time.(这里把 ten years 当作一个整体来看待)Those eventful years are still vivid in my memory.(这里把Those eventful years视为多个...
