在for dinner, to dinner, with dinner等搭配中,dinner均为不可数名词,其前习惯上不用冠词。如:We had pork chops for dinner last night. 昨天晚上我们吃猪排骨。The family had roast leg of lamb for dinner. 全家人正餐吃的是烤羊腿。She was offended that we didn’t accept her invitation to dinner. 我们没有接...

同意黎老师的看法。确实有些比较“保守”的语法学家认为It is useless 后要接动名词。比如《薄冰实用英语语法详解》就认为“……但在 It is not use (good), not any use (good), useless等后一般用动名词”。但事实上,不少权威词典都没有遵循这样的“规则”。如1989年出版的《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》(第四版)在useless词条就有这...

从字面上看,be only half aware of 的意思是“只有一半意识到”,即“还没有完全意识到”或“只是隐约意识到”。句意:She was only half aware of what was happening. 她只是隐约意识到发生了什么。

个人觉得网友 huangming 的看法有道理,支持!你太细心了,同时也说明你太有才了!希望有其他老师参与分析与讨论,因为毕竟是高考题,影响面大,一般人都视高考题为“标准”和“规范”,实在不能马虎了事!建议这位网友直接发邮件到教育部命题中心询问一下!

▲没错,复数名词mornings,afternoons, evenings等有时可用作状语。如:He worksafternoons. 我下午工作。I’m always at home evenings. 我晚上总在家。Mornings Iusually go for a walk by the river. 早晨我通常在河边散步。▲但是相应地,nights,days, weeks, months, years等也可用作状语吗?——而且不包括for weeks, for...
