Ⅰ. Course introduction
Do you like grammar? Is it boring?
Why bother?
On the one hand, it will enlighten us on a lot mysteries
that have puzzled us during our English study.
Examples:
*Because he is smart, so all his teachers like him.
*He is smart, all his teachers like him.
(Why?)
*On the other hand, grammar is the basis to English acquisition. In our English study, we often meet problems such as tense, person, mood, number, case, voice, etc.
*Sometimes, we can recognize all the words in a sentence but can’t understand it. Why?
例1 : The number of the young people in the United States who can’t read is incredible about one in four.
(英汉语序差异)
在美国,大约有1/4的青年人没有阅读能力, 这简直令人难以置信。
例2.
For a family of three, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to fortably at home, with almost unlimited entertainment available, than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere. (Discuss this sentence in pairs)
(请先分析主要结构;unlimited无约束的,无限的)
譬如, 对于一个三口之家来说, 舒舒服服地在家中享受几乎数
不清的娱乐项目, 这比到外面别的地方去消遣既便宜又方便。
A systematic knowledge of grammar will not only help us understand English better, but also enlighten us on how to output English more effectively.
Oral English is like our hardware; grammar and vocabulary are our software.
Besides,
grammatical knowledge≠
grammatical ability
Example: emphasis in English
is/ was+ · · · +that/who+· · ·
I do want to see him.
Please do sit down.
Do be quiet!
e!
Do be careful!
