答案:You got the police outside waiting to see you. I don't think you're in trouble, but they want to ask you a few questions.
第一句很多同學(xué)都答對(duì)了,但是第二句就出問題了。首先是police這么簡(jiǎn)單的詞,很多同學(xué)單復(fù)數(shù)卻用錯(cuò)。
“警察”這個(gè)詞到底怎么用?
1. Police 警察
Police是個(gè)集合名詞,本身就是復(fù)數(shù),所以不能說 a police
the police是指警察機(jī)關(guān),例如:
Call the police. 打電話叫警察。
The police are here. 警察來了。
2. A policeman/police officer 一個(gè)警察
A policeman/police officer 講個(gè)體的警察要用這倆詞
注意:policeman的復(fù)數(shù)是policemen
police officer的復(fù)數(shù)是police officers
You got some/a few policemen
waiting to see you.
3.a cop 一個(gè)警察(俚語)
復(fù)數(shù)是cops
正式場(chǎng)合不要用喲~
我們背了很多單詞,卻常常忽略他們的用法和使用規(guī)則,到底哪里出了問題呢?
