My birthday is / Its July 16th.重、难点解析1. when引出的特殊疑问句when是一个疑问副词，意为：什么时候，何时，引出一个特殊疑问句。when 可以对年、月、日以及时刻进行提问或者询问某一动作发生的时间，回答时常用介词 at, in, on等组成的表时间的介词短语。例如：When is your birthday? 你的生日是什么时候？My birthday is / Its July 16
2、th. 我的生日是七月十六日。When do you go to school every day? 你每天什么时候去上学？I go to school at 6：30 every day. 我每天 6：30 上学。When will your parents come to see you? 你父母什么时候来看你？On Sunday. 星期天。另外，除了 when之外，还可用 what time就时间进行提问，what time 更强调“几点”。如：_ _ 现在几点钟？六点钟。2. What year were you born? 你出生于哪一年？what year表示对年代提问，相当于疑问
3、副词 when，所以该句也可用 when提问：When were you born?当然用 what year提问强调是哪一年出生的。be born出生。当我们说某人出生于某时或某地时，总是用一般过去时，即 was / were born, was是 am, is的过去式，were 是 are的过去式。例如：Where were you born? 你出生于哪儿？I was born in Wuhan. 我出生于武汉。 _ 你的妹妹是什么时候出生的？ _ 她出生于 1990年 3月 11日。3. 月份在实际使用中，月份通常可以用前三个字母来缩写，但一般情况下 May, June, July没有
4、缩写形式。写出十二个月份的英文单词。_4. birth与 birthdaybirth名词，出生、诞生，例如：the date of my birth 我的出生日期birthday名词，生日，即 the day of ones birth某人出生的那一天。当要祝别人生日快乐时常说，Happy birthday to you. 祝你生日快乐。举办生日晚会可以说：We had a birthday party on my eighteenth birthday.在我 18岁生日时，我们举办了一个生日晚会。生日礼物_ 生日蛋糕_ 生日卡_5. How old？以及年龄表达法（1）关于 How的用法，以
5、前我们学过 How are you?问健康状况；How much is the shirt?问价格；How much / many 还可以问数量。How is your sister? 你妹妹身体好吗？ Shes well. 她身体很好。How much are the pants? 这条裤子多少钱？_ 你有多少朋友？（2）How old + be +主语？这一句型问年龄，其回答用“主语+be+数字”或者直接用一个数字就行了。 注：表示某人多少岁，数字后可以加 years old，如果是一岁用 year old。6. 序数词我们已学过普通数目，例如 one、two、three 等，叫基数词。如
6、果把东西按次序排列，表次序的数字，叫做序数词。例如：第一、第二、第三用来表示事物的顺序。first 1st twentieth 20thsecond 2nd twenty-first 21stthird 3rd thirtieth 30thfourth 4th thirty-ninth 39thfifthfif 5th fortieth 40thsixth 6th fiftieth 50thseventh 7th sixtieth 60theightheit 8th seventieth 70thninthnain 9th eightieth 80thtenth 10th ninetieth
7、90theleventh 11th hundredth 100thtwelfth 12th one hundred and first 101st（1）除了 first（第一），second（第二），third（第三）有特殊形式外，其余都是在基数词后加 th构成，但是有几个基数词加 th时，须先部分改变原词的拼写形式，再加 th：five, twelve 将 ve改为 f，再加 th；eight 后只加 h；nine 要去掉 e再加 th，即ninth；ty 结尾整十的词，是将 y改为 i加 eth。巧记序数词：一、二、三须牢记，一般加“th”就可以。八少“t”，九去“e”；“ve”结尾五、十
8、二先变“f”须仔细，“ty”结尾整数字，y 变 ie也容易。（2）多位数的基数词变成序数词，只需将末位数词变成序数词，前边的数词不变。如：twenty-one twenty-firstninety-five ninety-fifthone hundred and twenty one hundred and twentieth（3）序数词的前面一般要带定冠词 the。但序数词前面如果已经有物主代词 my, your, his, her等，则不能再用定冠词 the，如： the first lesson 第一课 my first teacher我们的启蒙老师（4）英语序数词也可以用阿拉伯数字加上
9、该序数词的最后两个字母来表示。如：first 1st second 2nd thirtysecond 32nd（5）序数词前有时也可以用不定冠词 a / an，这时已不表示在具体范围内的“第几”，而表示没有范围的，除以上数量外的“又一个，另一个”。如：Well have to do it a third time. 我们要重做一次。（已做过两次）Theyll have a second daughter soon. 不久，他们又将有一个女孩。（除前面一个外）7. game的用法game作名词，其含义很多，主要意思有：（1）游戏、玩耍、娱乐、运动、比赛。如：What a game! 多好玩！ b
10、asketball game 篮球比赛computer game电脑游戏 play games 玩游戏（2）运动会：the Olympic Games 奥林匹克运动会8. 年、月、日、星期和日期（1）询问星期几应说：What day is （it）today？回答用：Its，如：_ 今天星期几？_ 今天星期三。（2）询问日期应说：Whats the date today？回答 Its，如： _ 今天几号？ _ 今天是三月十二日。（3）日期表达法： 表达日期时应用序数词。如：10月 1日 October the first 也可写成 October 1st / October 1 / Oct.
11、1如果要说“年月日”时，英语中一般先说月，再说日，最后说年，写的时候“年”前加逗号。We write： We say：December 1st, December the first,1994 nineteen ninety-four.April 2nd, April the second,1996 nineteen ninety-six.9. each year每年（1）此处 each作形容词，意为“各自、每”。例如：Each student can speak English. 每个学生都会说英语。（2）each 还可作代词，表“各、各自、每一个”的意思。当其作主语时，谓语动词用单数。如：
12、 Each of us has a dictionary. 我们每个人都有一本字典。（3）辨析：each 和 everyeach表示一定数目中的每一个，个别意义较重，更强调个人或个别。例如：Each one has his weakness. 每个人都有自己的缺点。every表示数目不确定的许多人或物中的“每一个”，总合意义较重，表示“大家”。例如：Every one is here. 大家都到了。10. 时间前介词 at / in / on的用法（1）at 表示在某一个具体时刻，在几点钟，在一日中的黎明、上午、半夜都用 at。在六点钟_ 在正午/晚上_（2）in 在某年、某月、某个季节，以及
13、在一日中的早上、上午、下午都用 in。在 2004年 _ 在冬季 _在上午/下午/晚上_（3）on 在某一天，以及特定某日中的上午/下午/晚上；在星期一/在五月一日_在五月一日的上午 _在一个炎热的下午 _如果时间词前面有 next、last、this、every 等修饰语时，不带介词，例如：next Sunday下个星期天 last night 昨天晚上this morning今天上午 every afternoon 每天上午11. day和 date（1）day：泛指日子 a day“一天”，“days”这些日子；day 询问星期；day 指节日 Childrens Day；与 night
14、相对，指白天，day and night“日日夜夜”。（2）date 指具体的日期，即某年某月某日。提问时 date，询问“日期”。12. have的用法（1）“具有”：I have a happy family.我有个幸福的家。（2）扩展用法：have+动词意义的名词=暂时的动作。吃、喝：Have some tea.从事、进行： 练习：I综合练习。考题 1 从 II栏中找出与 I栏中相对应的答语。 I（1）When is your birthday?（2）When is Kates birthday?（3）When is Dales birthday?（4）How old are you?（
