[病号] Its time for

have lunch.

[诊断] “Its time

to ...” 和 “Its time for...” 都是表示“该做什么事情了。”但是两者在用法上有所区别。Its time to 后面跟动词原形，而Its time for 后面跟名词。

[处方] Its time for lunch. 或者 Its time to have lunch. （该吃午饭了。）

2

[病号] ― Whats on the wall?

― Its a map of China.

[诊断]“Whats on/

in/beside/... ？”问的是“某处有什么？”在回答时应使用句型“Theres a ...”或“There are ...”，表示“某处有某物”。

[处方] — Whats

on the wall?（墙上有什么？）

— Theres a map of China.（有一张中国地图。）

3

[病号] ― Whats that on the desk?

― Theres a magazine.

[诊断]问句中that是关键词，一旦忽略，会理解为“桌上有什么？”回答自然会错。

[处方]― Whats that on the desk?（桌上那是什么东西？）

― Its a magazine.（是一本杂志。）

4

[病号] His mother

doesnt likes cooking.

[诊断]只是注意到了his mother后面的动词要用第三人称，却忘记助动词does后面的动词要用原形。

[处方] His mother doesnt like cooking.（他妈妈不喜欢做饭。）

5

[病号] She likes singing

and go shopping.

[诊断] like一词在表示“喜欢”时，后面动词通常用动名词形式，即 “-ing”形式。本句中，like后面有两个并列动词，都要用动名词形式。

[处方] She likes singing and going

shopping.（她喜欢唱歌和购物。）

6

[病号] ― Whats wrong with him?

― Heve got a cold.

[诊断]“Ive got ...”的完全形式是“I have got ...”。如果主语换成he或she则要变成“He/She has got ...”，缩写为“Hes got ... / Shes got ...”。

[处方]― Whats wrong with him?

― Hes got a cold.
