3. also,as well,too,either “也”
(1)too, as well和 also用于肯定句和疑问句,too和as well一般放在句末。
而also一般放在句中与动词连用,either用于否定句和否定的疑问句,往往放在句末。
如:He went there,too. 或者
He also went there. 他也去那儿。
He didn't go there,either.
他也没去那儿。
I like you as well.
我也喜欢你。
(2)顺便提一下: as well as用作连词引出比较从句,其义为“和…一样好”。
因此,“He speaks Spanish as well as English.”应译作:“他说西班牙语像说英语一样好。”
练习:
A. Mr. Green can _____speak Chinese well.
B. I haven't heard from him. She hasn't heard from him, ______.
C. I have been to Beijing twice, _____.
D. People in Korea celebrate the Spring Festival _____.
4. ago,before:“之前”
二者意思相似,但用法很不一样。
(1) ago通常和一般过去时态的动词连用,前面是一个表示时间段的词或短语。
如:We started our class about ten minutes ago.
我们大约十分钟前开始上课的。
(2)before通常用来表示在某个时间点之前。
如:We started our class before eight o'clock.
我们八点前开始上课的。(不能说eight o' clock ago)
(3) before可以单独用作状语,而ago则不能这样用。
如:I read about it in a newspaper before.
我以前在一张报纸上看到过这件事。
练习:
A. Everyone should come back _____ five o'clock. No one should be late.
B. "He came back two days ____." means "He came back the day ____ yesterday."
