基本語法

一、如何提建議

可以用Why dont we/you do sth? 來提出建議,表示“何不……?”

縮略形式: Why not do sth?

Why dont we stay here another day?

我們為什么不在這兒再待一天呢?

二、連詞 until, so that, although/though 的用法

1. until

until表示“直到……為止”。

(1)until用于肯定句中,主句謂語動詞只能是延續性動詞,表示動作或狀態的持續。

(2)until引導時間狀語從句,當主句用一般將來時時,從句用一般現在時。

(3)not until (與否定詞連用) 直到……之前,直到……才。

The hot weather lasted until September.

炎熱的天氣持續到了九月。

I will stay here until he comes.

我會等到他來為止。

I didnt wake up until I heard the alarm clock.

直到聽到鬧鐘鈴聲我才醒來。

2. so that

so that 用來引導目的狀語從句,意為“以便,為了”。 so... that 用來引導結果狀語從句,意為“如此……以至于”。

He got up early this morning so that he could catch the early bus.

今天早上他早起,以便能趕上早班車。

He got up so early this morning that he caught the early bus.

今天早上他起得非常早,這樣就趕上了早班車。

3. although/though

although的意思是“盡管,雖然”,用來引導讓步狀語從句,在一般情況下可以和though互換,但though比較口語化,而although較為正式。當although或though引導的從句放在句首時,主從句之間要用逗號隔開。

Although I gave him some advice, he didnt take them.

雖然我給了他一些建議,但他沒有采納。

Though he tried hard, he was not successful.

雖然他盡力而為,但他沒有成功。

注意:although和though都不能和but在同一個復合句里連用。
