lesson 14 圣诞节

    christmas

    圣诞节快乐！

    类似表达

    have a nice christmas! / best wishes for christmas! / wish you have a good christmas!

    02 what a beautiful christmas tree!

    好漂亮的圣诞树啊！

    语法提要

    这句话是由what引导的感叹句，其结构是what + a/an + 形容词+名词，相当于how + 形容词+主语+谓语，所以这句话还可以说成how beautiful the tree is!

    03 there are many presents on christmas tree.

    圣诞树上有很多的礼物。

    语法提要

    there be句型中be动词的单复数要根据其后的主语保持一致，如果主语是单数，则be动词要用is，如果主语是复数，则be动词要用are，这里的主语presents是复数形式，所以be动词用are。

    04 it's fun to decorate christmas tree.

    装扮圣诞树是一件很有趣的事情。

    语法提要

    it在这里是充当形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式to decorate christmas tree，这句话还可以说成to decorate christmas tree is fun.

    09 santa claus will give presents to every child at christmas.

    圣诞节的时候圣诞老人会给每一个孩子送礼物。
