Always 一般不用于句首，但可以用在祈使句中。 E.g. Always remember this.

萨姆和汤姆都会打鼓，但是萨姆比汤姆打得要好一些。

both (1) 表示“两者都”， both用在含有be动词的句中，应放在be动词的后面；用在含有行为动词的句中，应放在行为动词的前面，

(2) both…and…表示“两者都”，both...and在句中连接并列成分，如主语、谓语、表语、宾语等，位置比较灵活。

E.g. Both New York and London have traffic problems. (连接主语) The secretary both speaks and writes Spanish.(连接谓语) 【考例】My parents ________ doctors.

A. both are B. all are C. are all D. are both拓展：all表示“三者或三者以上全都”的意思， every指三个以上的人或物(含三个)， each指两个以上的人或物(含两个)。 练习：用all,both,every,each填空

1) My brothers and I are ________l at school. 2) ________ student may have one book. 3) ________Tom and Jim are my good friends.

4) Three students are flying kites,they are________ in Class 1.

2. Tara works as hard as Tina. 塔拉学习和蒂娜一样努力。 as...as意为“与……一样……”，as...as中间接形容词或副词的原级。 其否定结构not as/so...as意为“不如……”。

E.g. He is as tall as his father. 他和他爸爸一样高。

1. Both Sam and Tom can play the drums, but Sam plays them better than Tom.

Tom gets up as early as Jim. 汤姆起得和吉姆一样早。 Lucy isn’t as outgoing as Mary. 露西不如玛丽外向。 注意：(1) 其否定式为not as/so +adj./adv. +as。 E.g. This dictionary is not as/so useful as you think. E.g. Your bag is twice as expensive as mine. 你的包比我的贵一倍。 3. You can tell that Lisa really wanted to win, though. 不过，你能看得出来，丽萨确实想赢。 win此处用作不及物动词，意为“赢；获胜”；

win还可用作及物动词，意为“赢得；在……中获胜”，此时其后的宾语为比赛的项目、奖品或战争等。

E.g. He won the first prize. Who won the race？ 辨析：win与beat

① win表示“赢得；获胜”，用作及物动词时，其宾语为比赛的项目、奖品或战争等。

E.g. We won the basketball game.

② beat表示“打赢；战胜”，用于比赛时，其宾语为所战胜的对手。 E.g. Li Lei beat all the runners in the 100-metre race.

(2)

(2) 若有修饰成分，如twice, three times, half, a quarter等，则须置于第一个as之前。

though此处作副词，意为“不过；可是；然而”，通常用于句末，前面用逗号与句子隔开。

E.g. Jim said that he would come; he didn’t, though.

拓展：though作连词，意为“虽然；尽管”，相当于although。 E.g. Though he has no money, he lives very happily.

注意：although/though与but不能同时出现在一个句子中。 E.g. Though he has no money, he lives very happily. =He has no money, but he lives very happily.

3. But the most important thing is to learn something new and have fun. 但是最重要的是学到一些新东西并获得乐趣。

(1) the most important意为“最重要的”，是important的最高级形式。 E.g. I think English is the most important of all the subjects. The most important thing is to work hard. (2) have fun意为“获得乐趣；玩得高兴”。 E.g. It’s a good place to have fun.

important的比较级为more important，形容词的最高级形式前必须有定冠词the。
