=》Such was his kindness...

介词for表示一种目的

be willing to do sth.=be ready to do sth.心甘情愿做

He got to work dressed in a beautiful coat.新概念英语网上学习

He left home wearing a smart balck suit.

changed into：换上

Before returning home=Before he returned home

在Before引导的时间状语从句中，return的逻辑主语和主句的主语he是保持一致的，所以这个时间状语是有介词Before和动名词搭配而成，相当于Before引导的时间状语从句。

如果运用动名词形式，动名词的逻辑主语必须是主句的主语

After gettting home,he had a good rest.

Before having dinner,he finished all his homework.

she never will=she will never discover the secret

在省略句式中，never要放在助动词之前

=》This road is five times as long as that one.

is well worth the loss of money

What he obtained is well worth the loss of time.

well 副词用来加强语气，修饰形容词worth

【Special difficulties】

A.英语中的许多动词不能以人作为宾语，只能代某物或某事，如果需要说明是某人就要用介词to

He told a story to me.=》He told me a story .

两类词汇：tell可以和双宾语搭配(指物的直接宾语;指人的间接宾语)

explain,say只能代一个(直接)宾语，在间接宾语前要介词to

She speaks English to her husband and Swedish to her children.

He admitted his guilt to the police.

Did you suggest this idea to him?

当直接宾语比较长或者是个从句时，通常放在间接宾语之后，但say除外。

I explained to him the impossibility of granting his request.

He comfessed to me that he had fallen asleep during the meeting.

B.“Worth"后面只能跟名词或动名词

His suggestion is worth considering.
