【语法】
1.when引导的特殊疑问句 2.序数词
二．难点讲评
1.___When is your birthday,Vera?___维拉，你什么时候出生的？
___My bithday is October tenth..我的生日是10月10日。
释：1）此句中when是疑问副词，意为“什么时候”，构成特殊疑问句。疑问代词有：who、what、whose、which等。疑问副词有：when、where、how、why等。
2）___My bithday is October tenth.= ___My bithday is on October tenth.
2.when与what time
释：when可以对“年、月、日及时刻”提问。回答常用in、on、at构成的介词短语。具体
日期前用on；年、月前用in；在时刻前用at。
例如：When do you go to school?你什么时候上学？
I go to school at seven.我七点上学。
When were you born?你什么时候出生？
I was born on April 2,1966.我出生于1966年4月2日。
What time 常用来询问“钟点”而不询问“年、月、日”。
例如：What time does he usually get up? 他通常几点起床？
He usually gets up at 6:00. 他通常6点起床
3．How old are you ?你多大了?
释：1）此句是就年龄进行提问的特殊疑问句，其句型结构为：How old+be+主语？表示“……几岁/多大了”，句中how old意为“多大年龄/几岁”，在回答这个句型时，常用“主语+be+数词+years/months old”来表示，也可以直接说出年龄。
例如：—How old is your father? —你爸爸多大了？
—He is sixty. —他六十岁了。
2）How old are you? 的同义句有：What’s your age? / May I know your age?
3）At the age of 是用来表示年龄一种说法。What age are you? 你几岁 ? ( 你多大年龄 ? )
在英语中表达年龄时常说：She‘s eight. 也可以说：She is eight years of age . 还可以说：She is eight years old. 但不可说：She is eight age.
4）“年龄”表示法还有：
（1）“at the age of + 基数词”或“at +基数词”。基数词后不再加 years old , 此短语常作状语。如： At the age of eight ，he went to an island with his parents .
（2）“of + 基数词”。此结构常作后置定语，数词后不能接 years old。
如：At that time , he was just a boy , of sixteen . 当时，他只是一个十六岁的男孩。
（3）“基数词-year-old”。此结构常用前置定语。
如：When he was an eight-year-old boy , he began to make a living .
当他是一个八岁的男孩时，就开始谋生了。
（4）“be in one’s + teens / twenties / thirties……nineties”
表示“在某人十几岁/二十几岁/三十几岁……九十几岁时”。如： He was in is fifties .
（5） “aged + 基数词”。此结构常用后置定语。
如：Mr Smith , a foreigner aged 30 , works in north China.
史密斯先生是一位30多岁的工程师，在华北工作。
4. contest与game
释：contest作为名词，意为“比赛、竞争”，常见的搭配有：enter a contest参加比
赛，hold a contest举行比赛。
game作为名词，意为“游戏、娱乐、玩耍、比赛、竞争”等。
例如：favorite game最喜欢的游戏；football game足球比赛。
5.Are you having a fun birthday?你在过一个有趣的生日吗？
释：1）这是现在进行时的一般问句，其句式结构为“助动词be（is、am、are）+主语+现在分词…”
例如：Are they watching TV?他们在看电视吗？
2）句式拓展
（1）肯定句：主语+be+V-ing+其它。例如：She’s cleaning the desk.
(2)一般问句：助动词be（is、am、are）+主语+现在分词…？
肯定回答：Yes,主语+be.
否定回答：No,主语+be+not.
例如：Is he watching TV? Yes,he is./No,he isn’t.
(3)特殊问句：特殊疑问词+一般问句语序？
例如：What are you doing? 你在做什么？
6. 基数词变序数词的规律：
英语中，用来表示事物的数目的词是基数词，用来表示事物顺序的词是序数词。那么基数词变序数的口诀是什么呢？
记住：“基变序有规律，结尾字母是th”，“一、二、三特殊记，结尾字母t,d,d”,“八去t，九去e,f要把ve替”，“ty将y变成i,th前面有个e”,“几十几，也好记，只变个位就可以”。
注意：在基数词改为序数词时，多数都在基数词尾加th，但one,too,three所对应的序数词依次为first,second和third（即“结尾字母t,d,d”）。eight在加th时要去掉末尾字母t(eight→eighth，即“八去t”）；nine在加th时要去掉字母e（nine→ninth,即“九去e”)；以ve结尾在加th时，应先把ve用f换掉，然后再加th。（如：five→fifth,twelve→twelfth,即f要把ve替）；以ty结尾的基数词在变成序数词，应先将y变i，th前面还要加上字母e（如：twenty→twentieth,thirty→thirtieth,……ninety→ninetieth等，即ty把y变成i，th前面还有一个e）；类似twenty-four,twenty-six这样“几十几”的基数词在改为序数词时，只需变个位就可以了。如：twenty-four→twenty-fourth,twenty-six→twenty-sixth等。
