二、重点讲解
1. Have you packed yet? 你打包了吗?
(1)是一个现在完成时的句型,它是在两个时间上,一是过去,一是现在。它的动作发生在过去,但对现在有影响或结果,而这种影响和结果是说话人的兴趣所在,所以常常后面不用时间状语。Have/has+动词的过去分词,是它的基本结构。
如:Someone has broken the door.有人把门打破了。(结果,门仍破着)
(2)pack包装,把……装箱pack sth(up)into… 整理行装
如:Pack clothes into a truck. 把衣服装进衣箱内。
pack into塞进,挤进。
如:The children packed into the cinemas on a wet day. 在雨天,孩子们挤进电影院。
2. I have not cleaned out the refrigerator yet. 我还没把冰箱清除干净。
clean sth. out 打扫某物之内部,扫除某物的尘土等。
如:It is time for you to clean your bedroom. 现在该你打扫你的卧室的时候了。
clean sth up清除罪犯和不道德分子,整顿(某物)。
如:The mayor has decided to clean up the city. 市长已决定要整顿市政。
clean sth down清扫,擦干净。
如:Clean down the walls. 把墙上的尘土扫下。
3. I have not done any of these things yet Because my grandfather came to chat to me.
那些事情我一样也还没做,因为我祖父来和我聊天。
(1)because连词,因为。

我做这事是因为他们要我做。
(2)because所表达的原因是不知道的,如要表达明显的理由,或被认为是知道的,就用as,for,或so。

(3)because of 后面加名词或名词短语。
