★Text

Do you speak English

I had an amusing experience last year.After I had left a small village in the south of France,I drove on to the next town.On the way,a young man waved to me.I stopped and he asked me for a lift.As soon as he had got into the car,I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language.Apart from a few words,I do not know any French at all.Neither of us spoke during the journey.I had nearly reached the town,when the young man suddenly said,very slowly,'Do you speak English?'As I soon learnt,he was English himself!

☆after:从句的标志，后面的叫时间状语从句，主句的动作发生在从句之后。

如果两个都是过去时，同时发生，会用进行时态;

如果一先一后发生，发生在前的动作为过去完成时态。

☆as soon as:一……就……

后面一定要加一个句子(时间状语从句)，一后面的先发生

强调两个动作几乎是连在一起的

☆用某种语言：in+某种语言

☆apart from:除了……之外

apart from=except for,习惯上放在句首

except for可以不放在句首，强调整体当中某 一方面除外，剩下的整体都不错。

apart from有两层含义：except,besides

except和besides可放在句子中间，besides指在整体上加上，except要从整体减掉

☆either of sb:……中的任何一个

neither of sb:……中的任何一个都不

either,neither都是指两个当中的任何一个

如果不只两个人，就是none of

none,neither一旦出现，这句话就不会再有not

☆as I learnt

learn:知道，得知;know:知道新概念英语第二册mp3下载

As+主语+动词+逗号+句子(as:正如)

eg:As we know,the New Concept English is very good.

★Key structures

过去完成时

过去的过去或两个动作都在过去，一个动作在前，一个在后，发生在前的动作为过去完成时。

过去完成时一定要以一个过去时态做铺垫，这个动作一定要发生在had done之后。

[特殊]until:主句和从句两个都用一般过去时对，任何一个用过去完成时也对。
