❤️ 俐媽英文教室：Wild(那時候我只剩下勇敢)文法句型篇Part 1
✏️ The only thing I could think to do was turn my back to the van and squat...
➡️ 句型"All that/What... + S + do/does/did + is/was + (to) Vr"表「⋯所做的事就是⋯」，其中to均被省略，造成be動詞與原型動詞併放，且注意要使用單數動詞is/was。
✏️ The sight of the square concrete pool lifted my spirits enormously not only because at the springs there was water, but also because humans had so clearly constructed it.
➡️ 對等連接詞not only...but also...要連接詞性、結構相同的字/片語/子句，故文中兩個because為對稱。
✏️ I wanted neither to get back together with Paul nor to get divorced.
➡️ 同樣地，對等連接詞neither...nor...用法同not only...but also...，文中的to get back及to get divorced即為symmetry(對稱)。
✏️ ...use DEET or any other such brain-destroying, earth-polluting, or future-progeny-harming chemical.
➡️ 文中使用compound adjective(複合形容詞)，用法為：N/adj./adv.-Ving/Vpp，其中使用現在分詞Ving 表「主動」或過去分詞Vpp表「被動」由後面所修飾的名詞決定。文中化學物質chemical主動破壞腦部、汙染地球、傷害後代子孫，故均使用Ving形式。其中的連字符號"-"叫hyphen哦！
✏️ It turned out I wasn't able to keep my family together.
➡️ It turned out that + S + V表「結果是⋯」。
✏️ The heat was so intense that my memory of it is not so much a sensation...
➡️ so + adj./adv. + that + S + V表「如此⋯以致於⋯」，亦可強調intense而寫成倒裝句：So intense was the heat that my memory...。注意heat和intense可為collocation哦！
✏️ ...no matter how kindly his eyes twinkled when he smiled.
➡️ no matter + wh- = wh-ever表「不論⋯」，後面接副詞子句。文中的no matter how = however表「不論多麼⋯」，並不翻「然而」。
✏️ It was then that I spotted what I'd searched for days: mountain lion tracks.
➡️ It is/was + 強調部份(人、物、地、時) + that + S + V，此為強調句用法。別忘了俐媽的精典例句哦😝
祝週末愉快😉😉😉
any other單數 在 [考題] any /any other / all the other - 看板Eng-Class 的推薦與評價
請問大大以下考題:
Jane is taller than ___ girls in the class.
(A) any
(B) any other
(C) all the other
答案為C
我的解釋方法:
(1)any +可數 或 不可數 名詞，文法沒問題，
但any girls 包括Jane，所以不選(A)。
(2)比較對象同範圍時(Jane 和 女孩們都在同一班)
any other +單數名詞=all the other +複數名詞
因為girls 是複數，因此C 正確
(B) 應改成 any other girl.
請問以上的解釋正確嗎?
主要想釐清 any other 和 all the other 的用法
謝謝
