小米的隨筆

祈使句通常為省略主詞，直接用動詞開頭

並且搭配對等連接詞

and,but,or 連接兩個相同結構的句子，而一個句子只能有一個連接詞

Work hard , and you will succeed. = If you work hard , you will succeed.

and 那麼

Work hard , or you will fail. = Unless you work hard , you will fail.

or 否則 unless 除非

You will probably get flunked unless you hand in your paper on time.

flunked 不及格的

感嘆句

(1) How + 形容詞/副詞 +( a/an)_名詞 + 主詞 + 動詞

How beautiful a girl she is!

(2) How + 形容詞/副詞 + 主詞 + 動詞

How beautiful she is !

(3) What + (a) + 形容詞 + 名詞 + 主詞 + 動詞

What a beautiful girl she is ! = What a beauty she is !

簡單來說，可以這樣想

How後面加形容詞/副詞，然後接個 (a 名詞) +主詞動詞

What後面加一個名詞，這個名詞是(a +形容詞 + 名詞)這整個構成的，再接主詞動詞

形容詞跟副詞要能跟後面的動詞辭意搭配
