第五， 語法點(diǎn)撥
1. This new singer on the picture looks lovely.
要點(diǎn)解析：表示“報(bào)刊雜志上的人或物或字”，用解詞on，不要用in。
2. Have you ever heard her sing?
要點(diǎn)解析：hear后面的賓語的補(bǔ)足語如果是動(dòng)詞的話，就要注意是用動(dòng)詞的現(xiàn)在分詞還是原形。如果聽這個(gè)動(dòng)作在發(fā)生，賓語補(bǔ)足語的動(dòng)作同時(shí)也在發(fā)生，就需要用現(xiàn)在分詞。如果不是，就用動(dòng)詞原形。
