Unit 8 When is your birthday?
重点句型
—When is your birthday?
—My birthday is / It’s July 16th.
重、难点解析
1. when引出的特殊疑问句
when是一个疑问副词,意为:什么时候,何时,引出一个特殊疑问句。when可以对年、月、日以及时刻进行提问或者询问某一动作发生的时间,回答时常用介词at, in, on等组成的表时间的介词短语。例如:
—When is your birthday? 你的生日是什么时候?
—My birthday is / It’s July 16th. 我的生日是七月十六日。
—When do you go to school every day? 你每天什么时候去上学?
—I go to school at 6:30 every day. 我每天6:30上学。
—When will your parents come to see you? 你父母什么时候来看你?
—On Sunday. 星期天。
另外,除了when之外,还可用what time就时间进行提问,what time更强调“几点”。如:
—________________ —_______________________ 现在几点钟?六点钟。
2. What year were you born? 你出生于哪一年?
what year表示对年代提问,相当于疑问副词when,所以该句也可用when提问:When were you born?当然用what year提问强调是哪一年出生的。
be born出生。当我们说某人出生于某时或某地时,总是用一般过去时,即was / were born, was是am, is的过去式,were是are的过去式。例如:
—Where were you born? 你出生于哪儿?
—I was born in Wuhan. 我出生于武汉。
— ______________________________ 你的妹妹是什么时候出生的?
— ______________________________ 她出生于1990年3月11日。
3. 月份
在实际使用中,月份通常可以用前三个字母来缩写,但一般情况下May, June, July没有缩写形式。写出十二个月份的英文单词。
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4. birth与birthday
birth名词,出生、诞生,例如:the date of my birth 我的出生日期
birthday名词,生日,即the day of one’s birth某人出生的那一天。
当要祝别人生日快乐时常说,Happy birthday to you. 祝你生日快乐。
举办生日晚会可以说:
We had a birthday party on my eighteenth birthday.
在我18岁生日时,我们举办了一个生日晚会。
生日礼物__________________ 生日蛋糕________________ 生日卡___________________
5. How old…?以及年龄表达法
(1)关于How的用法,以前我们学过How are you?问健康状况;How much is the shirt?问价格;How much / many还可以问数量。
—How is your sister? 你妹妹身体好吗? —She’s well. 她身体很好。
How much are the pants? 这条裤子多少钱?
_____________________________ 你有多少朋友?
(2)How old + be +主语?这一句型问年龄,其回答用“主语+be+数字”或者直接用一个数字就行了。 注:表示某人多少岁,数字后可以加years old,如果是一岁用year old。
6. 序数词
我们已学过普通数目,例如one、two、three等,叫基数词。如果把东西按次序排列,表次序的数字,叫做序数词。例如:第一、第二、第三……用来表示事物的顺序。
first 1st twentieth[ ] 20th
second 2nd twenty-first 21st
third 3rd thirtieth[ ] 30th
fourth 4th thirty-ninth 39th
fifth[fifθ] 5th fortieth 40th
sixth 6th fiftieth 50th
seventh 7th sixtieth 60th
eighth[eitθ] 8th seventieth 70th
ninth[nainθ] 9th eightieth 80th
tenth 10th ninetieth 90th
eleventh 11th hundredth[ ] 100th
twelfth 12th one hundred and first 101st
(1)除了first(第一),second(第二),third(第三)有特殊形式外,其余都是在基数词后加th构成,但是有几个基数词加th时,须先部分改变原词的拼写形式,再加th:five, twelve将ve改为f,再加th;eight后只加h;nine要去掉e再加th,即ninth;ty结尾整十的词,是将y改为i加eth。
巧记序数词:
一、二、三须牢记,一般加“th”就可以。八少“t”,九去“e”;“ve”结尾五、十二先变“f”须仔细,“ty”结尾整数字,y变ie也容易。
(2)多位数的基数词变成序数词,只需将末位数词变成序数词,前边的数词不变。如:
twenty-one twenty-first
ninety-five ninety-fifth
one hundred and twenty one hundred and twentieth
(3)序数词的前面一般要带定冠词the。但序数词前面如果已经有物主代词my, your, his, her等,则不能再用定冠词the,如: the first lesson第一课 my first teacher我们的启蒙老师
(4)英语序数词也可以用阿拉伯数字加上该序数词的最后两个字母来表示。如:
first 1st second 2nd thirty—second 32nd
(5)序数词前有时也可以用不定冠词a / an,这时已不表示在具体范围内的“第几”,而表示没有范围的,除以上数量外的“又一个,另一个”。如:
We’ll have to do it a third time. 我们要重做一次。(已做过两次)
They’ll have a second daughter soon. 不久,他们又将有一个女孩。(除前面一个外)
7. game的用法
game作名词,其含义很多,主要意思有:
(1)游戏、玩耍、娱乐、运动、比赛。如:
What a game! 多好玩! basketball game篮球比赛
computer game电脑游戏 play games玩游戏
(2)运动会:the Olympic Games奥林匹克运动会
8. 年、月、日、星期和日期
(1)询问星期几应说:What day is (it)today?回答用:It’s…,如:
—______________________________ 今天星期几?
—___________________ 今天星期三。
(2)询问日期应说:What’s the date today?回答It’s…,如:
— ___________________________ 今天几号?
— ___________________ 今天是三月十二日。
(3)日期表达法: 表达日期时应用序数词。如:
10月1日 October the first也可写成October 1st / October 1 / Oct. 1
如果要说“……年……月……日”时,英语中一般先说月,再说日,最后说年,写的时候“年”前加逗号。
We write: We say:
December 1st, December the first,
1994 nineteen ninety-four.
April 2nd, April the second,
1996 nineteen ninety-six.
9. each year每年
(1)此处each作形容词,意为“各自、每”。例如:
Each student can speak English. 每个学生都会说英语。
(2)each还可作代词,表“各、各自、每一个”的意思。当其作主语时,谓语动词用单数。如: Each of us has a dictionary. 我们每个人都有一本字典。
(3)辨析:each和every
each表示一定数目中的每一个,个别意义较重,更强调个人或个别。例如:
Each one has his weakness. 每个人都有自己的缺点。
every表示数目不确定的许多人或物中的“每一个”,总合意义较重,表示“大家”。例如:
Every one is here. 大家都到了。
10. 时间前介词at / in / on的用法
(1)at表示在某一个具体时刻,在几点钟,在一日中的黎明、上午、半夜都用at。
在六点钟__________________ 在正午/晚上__________________
(2)in在某年、某月、某个季节,以及在一日中的早上、上午、下午都用in。
在2004年 __________________ 在冬季 __________________
在上午/下午/晚上_________________________________________
(3)on在某一天,以及特定某日中的上午/下午/晚上;
在星期一/在五月一日___________________________________
在五月一日的上午 ___________________________________
在一个炎热的下午 _____________________________________
如果时间词前面有next、last、this、every等修饰语时,不带介词,例如:
next Sunday下个星期天 last night昨天晚上
this morning今天上午 every afternoon每天上午
11. day和date
(1)day:
①泛指日子a day“一天”,“days”这些日子;
②day询问星期;
③day指节日Children’s Day;
④与night相对,指白天,day and night“日日夜夜”。
