高中英语语法(全英详细讲解)
必修一 语法点一：Be+v.ing表将来 use the present continuous tense for future plans In English, we have lots of ways of talking about the future. The most common ways of talking about the future we encounter use ‘will’ or ‘be going to’ followed by an infinitive（动词原形）, and we tend to use ‘be going to’ most often for talking about future plans. Sometimes, we also use the present continuous tense to talk about future plans. Ex. ①we are going to Mexico next Sunday. ② Are you coming to the cinema? ③ He is leaving for London in two hours. ④ We are spending next winter in Australia. Only some verbs can be used in this situation, such as: go, arrive, come, leave, start, stay, return, play, have, work, wear, spend, see, meet, etc. 扩展： What’s the difference between using ‘be going to’ and the present continuous to talk about future plans? Let’s look at some more examples: “I’m going to play football on Saturday” You have made a plan in your head but possibly not taken any real action to confirm it. Also, playing football on Saturday is probably not a regular event for you. “I’m playing football on Saturday” You have made a plan and taken some real action to confirm it (e.g. called your friends or booked a place to play). In this case, it’s likely that playing football on Saturdays is a common activity for you. 语法点二：Direct speech and indirect speech(直接引语和间接引语) Let's first define the terms, then look at how to talk about what someone said, and how to convert speech from direct to indirect or vice-versa. You can answer the question What did he say? in two ways: by repeating the words spoken (direct speech) by reporting the words spoken (indirect or reported speech). Direct speech repeats, or quotes, the exact words spoken. When we use direct speech in writing, we place the words spoken between quotation marks (" ") and there is no change in these words. Reported or indirect speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of the words spoken. We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask', and we may use the word 'that' to introduce the reported words. Quotation marks are not used. 1、declarative sentence陈述句 ①Change in pronoun:The pronoun (subject) of the reported speech is changed according to the pronoun of reporting verb or object (person) of reporting verb (first part of sentence). Sometimes the pronoun may not change. In following example the pronoun of reported speech is “I” which will be changed

英语语法之数词
数词 一、整数的表示法和读法 1. 表示二十以上的十位数，要在个位数和十位数之间加连字符号。表示百位数，要在百位数和十位数之间（无十位数，则在百位数和个位数之间）加and。在美国英语中，and 往往省略。 e.g. I) 73 = seventy-three II) 809 = eight hundred (and) nine III) 269 = two hundred (and) sixty-nine 2. 书写千位数以上的阿拉伯数字，从后往前每隔三位用一分节号。 e.g. I) 1,000 = one/a thousand II) 100,000 = one/a hundred thousand III) 10,000 = ten thousand IV) 1,000,000 = one/a million 3. hundred, thousand, million, billion等词前面有具体数字或several修饰时，不加-s。 e.g. I) The magazine has seven million readers. II) The watch cost two hundred dollars. 不与数词或several连用，可以复数形式出现，表示“数以百计”、“成千上万”等。 e.g. I) Millions of people watched the 2004 Summer Olympics. II) Thousands and thousands of people visit the West Lake every year. III) They arrived in twos and threes. 他们三三两两地来了。 当表示数量的score, dozen等词前面有具体数词或several修饰时，不加-s。 e.g. I) We need several dozen eggs. II) Three score and ten people were present at the party. 70个人参加了这次派对。 同样，当它们不与数词或several连用时，可以复数形式出现。 e.g. I have been there scores of times. 二、分数的表示法和读法 1. 分数中的分子用基数词来表示，分母则用序数词来表示。分子大于1时，分母要用复数形式的序数词。 e.g. I) 1/3 = one third or a third II) 2/5 = two-fifths 2. 1/4和3/4的表示法如下： e.g. I) 1/4 = one quarter or a quarter or one fourth or a fourth II) 3/4 = three quarters or three-fourths 3. 1/2用one half或a half表示。 e.g. I) a half mile/ half a mile II) an hour and a half/ one and a half hours 一个半小时（注意两种表示法中hour 的单复数形式。） 三、小数和百分数的表示法和读法 1. 小数点(point)左边的数字按个、十、百……位读；右边的数字一般分开单个读出，也可以按个、十、百位读。 e.g.I) 14.397 –fourteen point three nine seven或fourteen point three hundred
