1【問】請(qǐng)問老師,Does your family have a pet? 回答是用Yes, it does.還是Yes, we do.呢?
答從語法角度來說,兩者皆可。但在日常生活中,常用Yes,we do來回答。用it來指代family家庭這個(gè)整體是沒有問題的,但缺少了一點(diǎn)兒人情味。而把family當(dāng)作家人顯得更貼切、更自然。
2【問】?It seems that everyone has________own problem.請(qǐng)問這個(gè)空里是填his還是their呢?
答兩者皆可。their比較普通,his比較正式。
3【問】老師,問您一個(gè)有關(guān)標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)的問題。I think I can arrive in Beijing at 9:30 p.m.請(qǐng)問9:30 p.m.后面還需要一個(gè)句號(hào)嗎?這個(gè)句子需要寫成I think I can arrive in Beijing at 9:30 p.m..嗎?
答
9:30 p.m.后面不需要再加一個(gè)句號(hào)了。含句號(hào)的縮寫詞,若位于肯定句句尾,則不需要另外再加句號(hào),因?yàn)檫@個(gè)句號(hào)既代表縮寫,也代表句子結(jié)束。再如,The Great Pyramid dates from around 2600 B.C.
但是,如果是以問句或感嘆句結(jié)尾,則需另外加上問號(hào)或感嘆號(hào)。例如:Can you arrive in Beijing at 9:30 p.m.?
