what+(a/an)+adj.+n.+主語+謂語.

由what引導(dǎo)的感嘆句，其句子結(jié)構(gòu)可分為以下三種：1.“What+a/an＋形容詞＋可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)＋(主語＋謂語！)”如：Whatanicepresentitis!它是一件多么好的禮物??！Whataninterestingbookitis!它是一本多么有趣的書啊！2.“What＋形容詞＋可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)＋(主語＋謂語！)”。如：Whatbeautifulflowerstheyare!多么漂亮的花?。hatgoodchildrentheyare!他們是多么好的孩子?。?：“What＋形容詞＋不可數(shù)名詞＋(主語＋謂語！)”。如：Whatfineweatheritistoday!今天天氣多好??！Whatimportantnewsitis!多重要的新聞啊！由“how”引導(dǎo)的感嘆句：“how”意為“多么”，修飾形容詞或副詞（被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分）。如果修飾形容詞，則句中的謂語動詞用系動詞；如果how修飾副詞，則句中的謂語動詞用行為動詞，句子的結(jié)構(gòu)是：

How+adj.（adv.）+主語+謂語.

1.How＋形容詞/副詞＋(主語＋謂語！)”。如：Howcarefulsheis!她多么細(xì)心??！Howfastheruns!他跑得多快啊！2.“How＋形容詞＋a/an＋可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)＋(主語＋謂語！)”。Howbeautifulagirlsheis!她是個多么漂亮的姑娘?。?.“How＋主語＋謂語！+（其他）”。Howtimeflies!光陰似箭！由what引導(dǎo)的感嘆句與由how引導(dǎo)的感嘆句有時可以轉(zhuǎn)換，但句中部分單詞的順序要有所變化。Howbeautifulagirlsheis!＝Whatabeautifulgirlsheis!Whatdeliciouscakestheseare!

＝Howdeliciousthesecakesare!在表示同一意義時，英語感嘆既可用“what”引導(dǎo)，也可用“how”引導(dǎo)。如：①Whatahotdayitis!Howhotthedayis!

多么熱的天氣呀！

②Whattallbuildingstheyare!Howtallthebuildingsare!

多么高的樓房呀！

③Whatbadweatheritis!Howbadtheweatheris!

多么糟糕的天氣呀！

④Whatbrightsunshineitis!

Howbrightthesunshineis!

多么明亮的陽光呀！

感嘆句在表示激動強(qiáng)烈的感情時，口語中常常采用省略句，其后面的主語和謂語往往略去不講。

如：①Whatafineday!多么晴朗的天呀！

②Whatanhonestboy!多么誠實的孩子呀！

③Whatredapples!多么紅的蘋果呀！

一、賓語從句由關(guān)聯(lián)詞引出。我們根據(jù)引導(dǎo)賓語從句的連詞不同，可把賓語從句分為三類：

以從屬連詞that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句。(陳述句)Ihear(that)youhavepassedtheexamination.

以從屬連詞if和whether引導(dǎo)的賓語從句(一般疑問句)Idon‘tknowif

youcancometomorrow.

以連接代詞或連接副詞引導(dǎo)的賓語從句(特殊疑問句)Pleasetellmehowyoucangethere.

二、賓語從句三要素：一連詞,二語序,三時態(tài)。

1)從句為陳述句時用that連接(常省略),從句語序不變;主句為一般現(xiàn)在時,從句可為任何時態(tài)。主句為過去時態(tài),從句用相應(yīng)的過去時態(tài)

Ithink(that)sheisaclevergirl.

Weallknow(that)theyreachedShanghaiyesterday.

Doyouknow(that)thereisgoingtobeafootballmatchtonight?

主句為過去時態(tài),從句用相應(yīng)的過去時態(tài)

Doyouknowwhosheis?

從句改為陳述句語序;主句為一般現(xiàn)在時,從句可為任何時態(tài)。主句為過去時態(tài),從句用相應(yīng)的過去時態(tài)

幾個需要注意的問題：賓語從句為客觀事實或真理時,從句只能用一般現(xiàn)在時。Theteachertoldme(that)theearthisbiggerthanthemoon.2.If和whether的區(qū)別。1）Whether后能跟ornot,if不行。I’dliketoknowwhetherhewillcomeornot.2）Whether后能加todo,if不行。Hedoesn’tknowwhethertoworkorplay.3）

在介詞后只能用whether不能用if.Heistryingtofindoutwhetherthemedicineworks4）whether置于句首時，不能換用if。Whetherthisistrueornot,Ican'tsay.

1.UncleWangcameuptosee__________therewasanythingwrongwiththemachine.2.Theshopkeeperaskedmyfather________ornothewantedtochooseabigChristmastree.if/whetherwhether3.Idon’tknow__________togoorstay.4.________thatistrue,whatshouldwedo?whetherIf5.________theywilleverbecomefutureOlympicchampionsonlytimewilltell.

WhetherCompletethesentenceswithif/whether.3.人稱問題。一說二聽三不改。從句中第一人稱改成說話的人，第二人稱改成聽話的人

Wearegoingtopickapplesforthefarmers.Thestudentssaid

Thestudentssaidtheyweregoingtopickapplesforthefarmers.2.Willyougotherewithmyparents?(Heaskedher)

Heaskedherifshewouldgotherewithhisparents.3.CanIfinishitbymyself?(Theoldmandidn’tknow)

Theoldmandidn’tknowifhecouldfinishitbyhimself.4.Howlonghaveyouwaitedforme?(Heaskedhisfriends)Heaskedhisfriendshowlongtheyhadwaitedforhim.連詞that不能省略的幾種情況在下列that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句中，that則不能省略。1.從句的主語是that。如：Hesaysthatthatisarealking’shat.2.that從句中含有主從復(fù)合句。I’mafraidthatifyou’velostit,youmustpayforit.

3.主、從句之間有插入語時。如：

Itsayshere,onthiscard,thatitwasusedinplays.4.若出現(xiàn)兩個或兩上以上的由that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句，且由并列連詞連接時，只有第一個連詞that可以省略。如：

Shesaid(that)shewouldcomeandthatshewouldalsobringherson.她說她要來，還要帶她的兒子來。二、陳述句語序(主+謂)Correctthemistakesinthesentencesifthereareany.1.Idon’tknowwheredoeshelive.helives.2.Hewonderedifhisfriendwouldcometohisparty.3.HeaskedmewhenwouldIleave.Iwouldleave.4.Idon’tknowwhat’syourname.

復(fù)活節(jié)（Easter），是紀(jì)念耶穌基督復(fù)活的節(jié)日，西方信基督教的國家都過這個節(jié)。在西方教會傳統(tǒng)里，春分之后第一次滿月之后的第一個星期日即為復(fù)活節(jié)。東方教會則規(guī)定，如果滿月恰逢星期日，則復(fù)活節(jié)再推遲一周。因此，節(jié)期大致在3月22日至4月25日之間。復(fù)活節(jié)是最古老最有意義的基督教節(jié)日之一，慶祝的是基督的復(fù)活，世界各地的基督徒每年都要舉行慶祝。復(fù)活節(jié)還象征重生和希望.

復(fù)活節(jié)中最具代表性的吉祥物就是彩蛋和兔子
