1.(1)try doing sth 尝试做某事
Let’s try knocking at the back door.
(2)try to do sth 尽力做某事

2. “why not+动词原形”意为“为什么不.....” “....怎么样 ”

3. 专有名词。
定义:专有名词表示特定的人名、地名或组织机构的名称,专有名词一般具有独一性。如:
(1)人名、地名
Jenny 珍妮 Smith 史密斯 China 中国 Asia 亚洲 the Great Wall长城London 伦敦
(2)组织机构、时间、书籍报刊等的名称。

the New York Times《纽约时报》
(3)家庭关系名称、个人头衔
Mum 妈妈 Grandpa 爷爷 Doctor Black 布莱克医生
Captain Grey 格雷船长 Mr Hopkins 霍普金斯先生Miss White 怀特小姐
4. 专有名词的注意事项。
(1)因为专有名词具有专有独一性,所以一般情况下,专有名词的第一个字母要大写,不能在专有名词的前面加上不定冠词a/an,也不能在专有名词词尾加上表示复数形式的“s ”
Beijing is the capital of China .
但是有时专有名词可以转化成普通名词,转化后它便具有普通名词的特性了,即可以在前面加上不定冠词a/an,在词尾加上表示复数形式的 “s ” 以下是专有名词转化成可数普通名词的例子。
A Mr Green came just now .
I knew a John Lennon ,but not the famous one.
There are three Johns in this class .
(2)姓氏是专有名词,一般没有复数形式,而且也不能加定冠词the ,但是当姓氏前面加定冠词the ,在后面加上s 时,就表示“一家人”
the Smiths the Blacks went abroad three weeks ago .
(3)有些专有名词表面上看是复数形式,但是在实际使用中谓语动词通常用单数形式。
the United States 美国
The United Nations looks after the whole world . 联合国要守护全世界。
5. 几个连词。
(1)and 是“和,而且”,用于连接形容词,副词,名词,动词或句子。
I have a red and blue shirt .(连接两个形容词)
Please do your homework slowly and carefully .(连接两个副词)
Bob and Janet danced .(连接两个名词)
They sang and danced .(连接两个动词)
I met John and we talked for a while .(连接两个句子)
当and 用于连接两个句子或短语时,我们可以省略重复的部分。
He is sitting there and (he is )watching television .
I need to go to the post office and (to)the library .
再连接两个单词或简短的句子时,and 前不用加逗号。
I bought a hat and a scarf.
如果and 连接的内容超过两个,则需要使用逗号,但and 前不使用逗号。
I bought a hat,a scarf and coat .
(2)but 的用法。
But ”但是,可是“,用于连接前后内容不同或相反的句子,表示转折的含义。
Joan can sing but she can’t dance .(肯定+but+否定)
Our flat is new but very small .(好+but+坏)
我们还可以用but 来比较句子的主语。和and 一样,使用but 时,也要避免重复相同的部分。 Sally likes swimming but Doris doesn’t (like swimming).
Martin is a good student but Jim isn’t (a good student ).
有时候,我们也可以把否定的部分置于but 前面。
Mary isn’t happy but I am .
My elder brother doesn’t like pizza but I do.
(3)so 的用法。
So 因此,所以,表达的是结果,so 不能放在句首。
It rained heavily ,so we stayed at home .
because ”因为,由于”,表达的是原因。在一个句子中不能同时出现because 和so 。
Because he was hungry ,he ate a lot .
He was hungry ,so he ate a lot .
