介词易错题
—When did you have the sports meeting?
—It was held ________ the morning of April 12th, and it started ________ 8:30 a.m.
A. in; on
B. on; at
C. in; at
D. on; in
答案:B
解析
本题考查时间介词 in / on / at 的区分。
1. at 用于具体的时刻点,几点几分前面一律用at,第二空后8:30 a.m.是具体时刻,所以用at。
2. on 用于具体某一天的早、中、晚,题干中 the morning of April 12th 是4月12日的上午,属于特指某一天的早上,必须用on。
3. in 用于泛指的上午、下午、晚上(in the morning);还用于月份、季节、年份前面。很多同学看到morning直接选in,忽略后面带的具体日期,这是本题最大陷阱。
口诀:时刻用at,某天用on,泛指年月早中晚用in。
举一反三
❌ in the morning of Monday
✅ on the morning of Monday
介词固定搭配易错题
The girl is looking forward ________ a trip with her parents, but her parents are busy ________ their work.
A. to have; with
B. to having; with
C. have; for
D. having; for
答案:B
解析
本题考查两个介词固定短语,极易误选A。
1.look forward to 意为“期待”,这里的to是介词,不是不定式符号to,介词后面要接名词、代词或者动名词doing,所以是 look forward to doing,即to having。很多学生思维定势,看见to就加动词原形have,这是最常见错误。
2.be busy with sth 固定搭配,表示“忙于某事”,后接名词;be busy doing sth 表示忙于做某事。本空后面是名词their work,因此用with。
3.for不匹配这两个短语,C、D直接排除;A错在to后面用了动词原形have。
重点积累:to作介词的常考短语
pay attention to doing 注意;be used to doing 习惯于;look forward to doing 期待
变式小提醒
look forward to doing ✔
look forward to do ❌
