答案: | ||
1. | (A), | if 引導名詞子句 if I can help you 當動詞 know 的受詞,表「是否…」。 (B) why 要幫別人忙還不知道原因,不合遲輯。 (C) which 不當名詞子句的主詞或受詞,無法引導該子句。 (D)不知道能幫別人忙但會盡量,不合邏輯。 |
2 | (D), | 表示跟前者同樣的情況,肯定用 too,否定用 either。 |
3. | (D), | 此處應該是指「還未試著」打給 Sam 請他幫忙。帶有副詞 ever, never, still, just, already, yet 等句子,通常須要用「現在完成式」或「過去完成式」。 |
4. | (B), | 這裡的 mind 為動詞,之後須接名詞/V-ing、或子句形式。Would you mind 表示客氣地請人幫忙。 |
5. | (A), | 動詞如果當主詞要用 V-ing 或 to V 的形式。 |
句型:S1 … and S2 + be/助動詞, too …也是 → 肯定附和。
S1 not … and S2 + be/助動詞 + not, either …也不是 → 否定附和。
例句:Tom will help you and Jane will, too. (Tom會幫助你,Jane也會。)
例句:Sue isn't tall and I am not, either. (Sue長得不高,我也是。 )
