a pack of…作主语时的主谓一致
a pack of后接复数作主语时，谓语动词用单数或复数都可以。如果强调整体，谓语动词用单数形式；如果侧重于组成整体的成员（即强调各个组成整体的个体），谓语动词用复数形式。如：A pack of reporters were waiting outside. 一群记者等在外面。（朗文）A pack of journalists was waiting outside the White House. 一帮记...

at a later date 还是 on a later date
1. at 还是 on单就 date 来说，它既可搭配 at 也可搭配 on，两者的区别是：若 date 表示 day 的意思，则搭配 on（指具体的某个日期）；若 date 表示 time 的意思，则搭配 at（笼统地指某个时间）。比较：Theatre tickets must be used on the stated date. 戏院门票必须在规定日期使用。The details can be added at a late...

a lot of…可用于否定句吗
a lot of 完全可用于否定句：When there is not a lot of rain, riverbeds often have no flowing water.句意：雨水不多时，河床经常没有流水。根据所修饰名词是否可数，not a lot of 大致相当于 not many 或 not much：Not a lot of people [=Not many people] know that. 没几个人知道那件事。There isn’t a lot of [=not...

when in walks 是什么用法
I was sitting there minding my own business when in walked an old lady. 严格说来，这里的 when 不是从属连词（不是引导状语从句），而是并列连词（相当于 and suddenly）。When 后面的 in walked an old lady 是倒装句（不倒装的形式为 an old lady walked in）。全句意为：我正坐在那儿忙我自己的事，这时（突然）进...

a thing可以用作副词作状语吗
同意好题老师的分析，将 We hardly know him a thing 改写成 We hardly know a thing (=anything) about him 是最通常的做法。但如果要细究，我们也可以就 a thing 的用法作一下总结。a thing 的字面意思是“一个东西”。如：It’s a thing, not a human being! 这是一件东西，不是一个人！但 a thing 也可用作习语，通常见于...

since being done的用法疑问
完全可以。因为 since 除可以用作连词还可以用作介词。He has been feeling a dull pain in his chest since he was brought there.——用作连词=He has been feeling a dull pain in his chest since being brought there.——用作介词自从他被带到那里以来，他一直感到胸口隐隐作痛。又如下面一句（摘自《夸克英语语法》）：T...
