[病號] Its time for

have lunch.

[診斷] “Its time

to ...” 和 “Its time for...” 都是表示“該做什么事情了。”但是兩者在用法上有所區(qū)別。Its time to 后面跟動詞原形，而Its time for 后面跟名詞。

[處方] Its time for lunch. 或者 Its time to have lunch. （該吃午飯了。）

2

[病號] ― Whats on the wall?

― Its a map of China.

[診斷]“Whats on/

in/beside/... ？”問的是“某處有什么？”在回答時應(yīng)使用句型“Theres a ...”或“There are ...”，表示“某處有某物”。

[處方] — Whats

on the wall?（墻上有什么？）

— Theres a map of China.（有一張中國地圖。）

3

[病號] ― Whats that on the desk?

― Theres a magazine.

[診斷]問句中that是關(guān)鍵詞，一旦忽略，會理解為“桌上有什么？”回答自然會錯。

[處方]― Whats that on the desk?（桌上那是什么東西？）

― Its a magazine.（是一本雜志。）

4

[病號] His mother

doesnt likes cooking.

[診斷]只是注意到了his mother后面的動詞要用第三人稱，卻忘記助動詞does后面的動詞要用原形。

[處方] His mother doesnt like cooking.（他媽媽不喜歡做飯。）

5

[病號] She likes singing

and go shopping.

[診斷] like一詞在表示“喜歡”時，后面動詞通常用動名詞形式，即 “-ing”形式。本句中，like后面有兩個并列動詞，都要用動名詞形式。

[處方] She likes singing and going

shopping.（她喜歡唱歌和購物。）

6

[病號] ― Whats wrong with him?

― Heve got a cold.

[診斷]“Ive got ...”的完全形式是“I have got ...”。如果主語換成he或she則要變成“He/She has got ...”，縮寫為“Hes got ... / Shes got ...”。

[處方]― Whats wrong with him?

― Hes got a cold.
