Ask your friends and find …

1. decide v. 决定；选定 ① I decide to stay at home today. 今天我决定呆在家里。 ② Before you make a decision, you must

think it over. 在你作决定之前，你一定要仔细思考。 根据例句①可知“决定干某事”为 decide

to do sth 。根据例句② 可知 decide 的名词是decision, 而“作决定”是 make a decision,

相当于动词 decide 。

1. I __________ (decide) go to the zoo today.

2. They made a __________ ( 决定 ) to have a meeting in memory of “5·12 Earthquake” at school one month ago.

3. Before making an important __________ (decide), think it over.

用括号内适当的词填空。

decide to

decision

decision

2. try v.& n. 尝试；设法；努力 I’ll try to improve. ( 用作动词 )

我要设法改进。 Come on and give it a try. ( 用作名

词 )

来 , 试试看。

词义辨析： try to do sth. / try doing sth.

这两个短语含义不同 , 前者意思是“试图或努力去做某事” , 而后者意思是“尝试 / 试验一下某种方法”。例如 :

try to climb the mountain

设法向山上爬 try climbing the mountain

努力爬上山去

用 try to do sth. / try doing sth. 填空。

1. Let me ___________ that car.

让我试着开那辆小汽车。2. I ______________ the work on time.

我试图按时完成那份工作。

try driving

try to finish

3. because of 因为 I didn’t go out because of the bad weather.

由于恶劣的天气，我没有出去。 because of 与 because 的区别 eg ： He didn’t come because he had a

headache. 他没来因为他头痛。 这句话相当于 He didn’t come because of his

headache.

根据例句可知， because + 句子，而because

of 后应加名词、代词或动名词形式。

--- ________ the heavy rain, we didn’t go camping last Sunday.

--- What a pity!

A. Thanks to B. Because of

C. Because

B

4. enough adj. 足够的；充足的；充分的 There isn’t enough water in our city.

he has many friends and he is happy enough.

尽管他没有足够的钱，但他有很多朋友并且他也足够快乐。 He is old enough to go to school.

他足够大了可以去上学。

enough 作形容词时 , 意思是“足够的 , 充分的” , 在句中多作定语 , 一般修饰复数名词或不可数名词 , 可置于所修饰的名词之前 ,

也可置于所修饰的名词之后。后者属于旧式用法。 enough 用作副词时 , 意思是“足够 , 充分” , 一般应放在所修饰的形容词、副词或动词的后面。 John’s old enough to take care of himself.

约翰长大了 , 能照顾自己了。
