Unit 8 When is your birthday？

重點(diǎn)知識(shí)園地

Section A

1. When is your birthday， Linda？

琳達(dá)，你什么時(shí)候過生日？

“When is ones birthday？”是詢問某人生日是何時(shí)的句型。如：

When is your birthday， John？

約翰，你什么時(shí)候過生日？

when 可以用來對(duì)年、月、日等時(shí)間提問，回答時(shí)用介詞in，on，at等加具體時(shí)間。如：

—When do you go home？

你什么時(shí)候回家？

—I usually go home at six oclock.

我通常6點(diǎn)鐘回家。

—When do the tourists go to Hainan Island？

游客一般什么時(shí)候到海南島游玩？

—They often go there in summer.

他們經(jīng)常夏天去那里。

2. My birthday is on May 2nd.

我的生日是5月2日。

（1）birthday意思是“生日”。當(dāng)祝賀別人的生日時(shí)，我們常說：“Happy birthday to you！”，意為“祝你生日快樂！”外國(guó)人在過生日時(shí)經(jīng)常會(huì)舉行一個(gè)“birthday party”（生日聚會(huì)）來進(jìn)行祝賀。

—Today is my birthday.

今天是我的生日。

—Happy birthday to you！

祝你生日快樂！

（2）當(dāng)別人問“When is your birthday”時(shí)，我們可以回答“My birthday is...”，也可以用“Its on...”。當(dāng)日期具體到某一天時(shí)要用介詞on，on在此句型中可以省略；如果只是說在哪個(gè)月，或哪一年時(shí)，介詞用in。如：

My birthday is （on） October tenth.

我的生日在10月10號(hào)。

Tree Planting Day is in March.

植樹節(jié)是在3月。

3. When is your fathers birthday？

你爸爸什么時(shí)候過生日？

fathers是名詞所有格形式，意思是“爸爸的……”。名詞所有格是由名詞 + s構(gòu)成的，譯為“……的”。其具體用法如下：

（1）名詞單數(shù)+ s

This is my uncles bedroom.

這是我叔叔的臥室。

That is Nicks backpack.

那是尼克的背包。

（2）以s或es結(jié)尾的名詞復(fù)數(shù)只加

These are students textbooks.

這些是學(xué)生的課本。

These two sweaters are the twins.

這兩件毛衣是雙胞胎的。

（3）如果事物或人是兩個(gè)名詞共同所有，則在后一個(gè)名詞上加 s。

This is Lucy and Lilys room.

這是露西和莉莉的房間。

Miss Green is Lin Tao and Lin Fans teacher.

格林小姐是林濤和林帆的老師。

（4）如果事物或人是兩個(gè)名詞分別所有，則在每一個(gè)名詞后加 s。

These are Lucys and Lilys desks.

這是露西和莉莉的書桌。

4. How old are you？

你多大了？

此句的意思是“你多大了？/你多大年齡？”，how old對(duì)年齡提問，回答時(shí)常用句型“Im + 數(shù)詞”或“Im... years old.”。如：

—How old is your brother？

你的弟弟多大了？

—Hes only five （years old）.

他只有5歲。

—How old are you？

你多大年齡了？

—Im eleven （years old）.

我11歲。

注意：在講英語的國(guó)家，可以詢問孩子的年齡，但對(duì)于成年人一般不直接問及年齡，尤其是女士。問女士的年齡被認(rèn)為是不禮貌的，而且對(duì)方也不予回答。
