四. [重点难点释义](Language Points)

section A

1. How do you get to school ?

你是怎样到学校的。特殊疑问词How表示“怎么样”

▲get to表示“到达”。相当于reach .

如:I get to school at 8 o’clock .

或:I reach school at 8 o’clock .

注意:get to + 名词,必须有“to”,因为“get”是不及物动词,如get to Beijing。

▲而reach Beijing . “reach”因为是及物动词,可直接跟宾语,不加“to”。

▲另外:get to后如果跟“there , here , home”这三个副词时,不加“to”。

get there 到达那里

get here 到达这里

get home 到家

arrive也表示到达,后面要加介词in或at.

如:He arrived in London at 3 p.m.

他下午三点到达伦敦。

此外:(同“get to”一样,后跟副词“there , here , home”时介词“in”或“at”不出现。如:He arrived home yesterday .昨天他到家了。)

2. 表示乘什么交通工具时可以说:

He takes the train .

他乘火车。take表示“乘坐”

He takes the bus .

他乘公共汽车。

还有表示交通方式时可以说:

He gets to school by bus / train / plane或air / ship / car

他乘公共汽车/火车/飞机/船/小卧车到学校。

by“介词”表示“乘”什么工具。

注意在by和bus等中间不加冠词“the”。

但当我们说步行到哪里时不用介词“by”,而用“on”。

on foot

5. How long does it take you to get from home to school ?

To do something take(s) somebody (sb) some time 做某件事情占用某人…时间

如:To get to the hospital takes you half an hour .

其中“To get to the hospital”是不定式做主语。

不定式结构就是to + 动词原形。

如:want to play 中“to play”就是不定式。

在上一例句中不定式(划线)部分作主语太长,使句子不平衡。为了保持句子平衡,我们将它放在句尾。这时需要一个“形式”主语来代替它放在主语的位置。那么上一句就应该为:It

takes you half an hour to get to the hospital .

It为形式主语。

到目前为止我们已经学了几种“it”的用法。

1)表示动物的“它”。It is a panda .它是个熊猫。

2)表示前边提到过的事情或物。

3)表示天气。

It is important to eat a balanced diet .

真正的主语是to eat a balanced diet .

It is 8 o’clock .

from…to表示“从…到…”

from Shanghai to Beijing .从上海到北京。
