less是谁的比较级
less 是 little 的比较级，fewer 是 few 的比较级。与复数名词连用时，用 less 而不用 fewer，目前很常见， 且日益普遍。但此用法严格来说还属误用。

as引导让步状语和原因状语的倒装问题
as 用于引导原因状语从句时是不采用倒装结构的。这一点，在《牛津高阶》中已经说的很清楚：▲(usu placed at the beginning of the sentence 通常置于句首) since; because 由于；因为：As you weren't there I left a message. 因为你不在那里，我留了个信儿。 As she's been ill perhaps she'll need some hel...

19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang前为何没有冠词
借鉴了一下曾老师的解答，我又仔细想了一下，觉得将 Candy Wang 看作是 19-year-old Asian pop star 的确不妥，这个无冠词限定的名词短语 19-year-old Asian pop star 在句法功能上并不等同于 Candy Wang。因此，19-year-old Asian pop star 应该是作 Candy Wang 的定语。关于同位语，我想再补充一种用例，即类似于 He t...

keep away和keep off的区别
keep away 中的 away 是副词，keep off 中的 off 既可以用作副词，也可以用作介词。 1. 当 off 用作副词时，keep off 与 keep away 意思相同，均表示“离开；远离”。例如： Both of you, keep away. Keep off, you plague rats! 2. 当 off 用作介词时，keep off 后可接宾语，此时该短语相当于 keep a...

3 years passed和3 years later的用法区别
▲我觉得第一句至少应改为：3 years passed, and I meet her again.这个句子是个并列句，其中，3 years passed（三年过去了）是个简单句，并非时间状语。▲第二句中的 3 yearslater（三年后） 是时间状语。这两个句子当中的meet似乎也应改为 met。▲pass 与 later 的用法：1. pass [I] (of time) go by; be spent （指时间）消...
