1． 基本用法：1)Would you mind doing?=Do you mind doing..?“你介意…?” “请你…好不好？”是一种比较客气的表达方式.2)如果要表示“请你不要做…好吗？”只需在doing 前面加not.应答用语：1)如果同意表示不介意时，可用如下用语来表达：Certainly not.; Of course not.;No,not at all.;Not at all.“好，可以”2)如果不同意表示介意时，常用“Sorry.”“I’m sorry, but…”及陈述某种理由来表示拒绝或反对.；这一句型中的逻辑主语只能是谈话的对方you，如果想要对方允许自己做某事，可以用 “Would you mind my doing..?句型.

2． 形容词与副词之间的转化：1)以le结尾去e变y，possible→possibly；2)在形容词后直接加ly,usual→usually；3)在以辅音字母+e结尾直接加ly,wide→widely；4)以元音字母+e结尾，去e加ly,true→truly；5)以辅音字母+y结尾变y为i+ly,happy→happily

3． put on, wear, dress,have on, in: put on强调动作过程“穿上”为瞬间动词；wear表示结果或状态“穿着”,持续动词；dress强调穿的动作，后面不能跟宾语(衣服)等，还可以作名词，意思是“服装”，dress up化装，dress oneself 给某人穿衣服，dress in穿衣服，have on表示“穿…”，相当于wear，但没有进行时态；in介词，后跟表示颜色的名词，表示穿着某种颜色的衣服.

5． very, too, so, quite以上几个副词均修饰形容词，副词表示程度，“很，太，非常”；very应用最普遍“很”，只是一个表示程度的副词，它表示的程度比quite要强得多，very只用来修饰形容词和副词的原级；too“太”，一般表示“相对某人而言”；so“如此…,那么…”,往往表明某一事物的程度时，会引起另一种后果.换言之，so所修饰的人或物表示原因后面会有表示结果的句子.So…that…如此…以致于；quite既可以表示充分肯定，意思是 “完全；十分”，也可以表示程度，意思是“完全，十分”，也可以表示程度，意思是“相当”，quite可修饰动词，v.ing，形容词，副词，分词等.quite a +adj+n.   a very+adj.+n
