Leave the books on the desk. 把书放在课桌上。 3.My dog had taken it into the garden. He often does this!我的狗把它弄到花园里去了,他常干这种事! he在这里指代的是狗。动物通常用it来代表,即被看成像东西一样。但是,指宠物、家畜或民间故事中的动物时,我们经常也用he,she,who等,即使得它们“人格化”并具有性别。用阴性代词指某个动物或东西时尤其有一种亲切的含义: I have a little cat. She drinks milk every morning. 我有一只小猫。她每天早上喝牛奶。 George's parrot, Henry, can speak a few words. He always calls when there are lights. 乔治的鹦鹉亨利能说几个单词。只要有灯光他就叫。 语法 Grammar in use 完全动词have (1)动词have有两种用法。一是作为助动词构成各种完成时(包括过去、现在、将来)和完成进行时: I haven't seen him this morning. 我今天上午没见过他。 When I rang, Tim had already left. 我打电话的时候,蒂姆已经走了。 (2)have还可以作完全动词。当它作“具有”、“拥有”讲时,它和have got通常可以互换。在英国英语中,疑问句和否定句中 have(具有)的用法与be相同,即可以不用助动词do(或did)。 I haven't got any pencils. 我没有铅笔。 在美国英语中,常用do,did等与have一起构成疑问句和否定句: Do you have a pencil? 你有铅笔吗? I don't have any pencils. 我没有铅笔。 这种形式在英国英语中现在也常见了。 have作“具有”、“拥有”讲时是状态动词,不能用于进行时态或被动语态。它通常用于一般现在时: You can have these apples if you want them. I've got a lot more. 如果你想要这些苹果你可以把它们拿走
