It was Sunday. 那是个星期天。 在英语中，it的用法比较广泛，可指时间、天气、距离等。如： It is eight o'clock. 现在是八点钟。 It is very cold today. 今天很冷。 It is ten miles to our school. 到我们学校有10英里远。 It还可以指不明身份的人。如： Who's knocking at the door It's me. 谁在敲门？是我。 2. I never get up early on Sundays. 星期天我从来不早起。 频率副词never表示从不，常见频率副词按照动作频率从高到低排列如下： always 一直 100% usually 通常 80% often 经常 60% sometimes 有时 40% seldom 很少 20% never 从不 0% 频率副词通常放在实义动词之前，如下文中的句子： I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime. 有时我要一直躺到吃午饭的时候。 sundays是复数，表示这是一个经常性的行为，每一个周日都是这样。 3.

How handsome a boy (he is). 这两个感叹句也可以表达为： How beautiful (the garden is). How handsome (the boy is)! 5. I'm coming to see you. 我这就来看你。 本句是用现在进行时表示即将发生的动作。 现在进行时的结构为：be+doing. 通常 ... ...
