新概念英语教材详解：第一册 Lesson55-56

课文详注 Further notes on the text

1.go to work, 上班。

由动词 go引导的短语课文中还有：go to school(上学)， go to bed(上床睡觉)。请注意 work, school以及 bed之前不带任何冠词。

2.stay at home, 呆在家里。

与 stay home在意思上相差无几。前者中的 home是名词，后者中的home是副词。

3.do the housework, 料理家务。

housework是不可数名词。请比较：do the homework(做作业)。

4.at night, 在夜里。

如果说某日夜里，则用介词 on:

on the night of June 2 在6月2日的夜里

一般现在时(2)

(请参见 Lessons 47～48语法部分。)

一般现在时用于表示一个习惯动作、有规律的行为以及永恒的现象。一般与时间频度副词和时间短语连用。这些时间短语有：

every day/week/month/year 每日/周/月/年

in the morning/afternoon/evening 在上午/下午/晚上

at noon/night 在正午/夜里

第3人称单数的谓语动词需加以变位，这可分为几种情况：

(1)直接加 -s，如：

come----comes

arrive----arrives

(2)以 -sh, -ch, -o 以及 -s结尾的动词加 -es，如：

wash----washes

go----goes

watch----watches

do----does

(3)以辅音加 -y结尾的动词，把 -y改成 -i，再加 -es;而元音加 -y结尾的动词，只加 -s即可：

hurry----hurries

carry----carries

play----plays

stay----stays
