Explanation
1. I’d like to thank you for sending money to “Animal
Helpers”, anization set up to help disabled
people.
“Animal Helpers”动物助手,一个帮助残疾人而建立的组织。
Thank sb. for …为……而感谢某人
. Thank you for your flowers to me.
set up…引导的是一个省去关系代词that的定语
从句。
. Thomas has a lab set up himself.
2. Being blind, deaf, unable to walk ,or use your hands easily is something that most people cannot imagine.
此句中“being…”是动名词做主语。谓语动词用单数。
“….that most people cannot imagine”是定语从句, 修饰something。
3. Then one day last year, a friend of mine said that she would like to help me out.
Help out 意为“使某人脱离困境”可分开使用。
. Nobody helped me out when I lost my job.
4. You see, I’m only able to have a “dog-helper”
because of your kind donation!
此句中的be able to 意为“能够做……的事”, 可用can替换,主语为物时一般都使用can, can没有将来时和完成时, 也不能用于其他助动词后面, 所以常用 be able to do 来替换。
Because of 是介词短语, 表原因, 后面接名词或代词宾语。because 是连词, 词后常接从句。
Use information in the letter to make true sentences by matching the different parts.
