形容詞短語是指由幾個形容詞或形容詞及其修飾語構的短語,通常在句中作定語或者表語。用法:a drop of的複數形式是drops of,後常接表示液體的不可數名詞,如rain,sweat, tear等。例句:A drop of sweat slid down from the hard-working farmer’s head.語法點:該例句用的是一般過去時態,一般過去時用來表示過去發生的動作或存在的狀態,句子中的謂語動詞要用過去式。句子的謂語動詞slid是slide的過去式。用法:a few修飾可數名詞,表示「一些,幾個」。需要注意的是跟few的區別,few表示「幾乎沒有」。例句:Beyond my career, my facility with languages has given me a few rare opportunities. (2015年12月四級)用法:a flood o與a lot of的用法相同,後接可數名詞和不可數名詞。例句:A flood of tourists were trapped in the valley due to the heavy rain.語法點:該例句用了被動語態,被動語態的結構是「be動詞+及物動詞的過去分詞」,可用於各種時態。be動詞本身並沒有詞義,但有時態、人稱和數的變化。用法:a glass of經常與表示水、牛奶和酒的詞彙連用,需要注意與a cup of的區別,後者常與茶和咖啡連用。例句:In order to fall asleep quickly, she added sleeping pills to a glass of milk.I poured us a glass of sherry. 我給大家倒了杯雪利酒。President Donald Trump delivered a speech in Jamestown about the colony's 400-year-old history, but the event was disrupted by a Democratic protestor.【Newsweek】
