e.g. He didn’t act as well as you. 他表现得不如你好。

4. For one week, she did not do any housework, and neither did I. neither 用作副词，作“也不”解释，放在句首，表示前面否定的内容也适用于另一个人或物，句子须采用部分倒装。此时也可用nor替换 neither 使用。例如：
— I don’t like this dress. 我不喜欢这件连衣裙。

— Neither / Nor do I. 我也不喜欢。

注意：neither 之后的主语要置于助动词或系动词之后。

neither 用作代词，表示“两者都不，双方均不”。例如：
He answered neither of the letters. 他两封信都没回。

— Which one would you like? 你喜欢哪一个？ — Neither. 两个都不喜欢。  also, too, either, neither 的用法 1) also 是比较正式的用语，语气较庄重。它通常放在句中，位于行为动词之前，连系动词之后; 如有助动词或情态动词，一般放在助动词或情态动词之后。例如: Peter also has two brothers. 彼得也有两个兄弟。

I am also a student. 我也是一名学生。

Mrs. Green can also sing the song in Chinese. 格林夫人也能用汉语唱这首歌。

2) too 是普通用词，多用于口语，语气较随便。一般用在肯定句中，放在句末。例如: I’m in Row 1, too. 我也在第一排。

注意：also和too一般都用于肯定句，很少用于否定句。

3) either 表示“也”时，一般只用于否定句，且置于句末。例如: I don’t know him. Tom doesn’t know him, either. 我不认识他，汤姆也不认识他。

If you don’t go there, he won’t go there, either. 如果你不去那儿，他也不会去那儿。

注意：either 本身没有否定的意义。所以多与 not 连用。

4) neither 表示“两个都不”，它作主语时，谓语动词常用单数。例如：
Neither of you can do it. 你们两个都不能做这件事。

neither ... nor ... 意为“既不……也不……”，用于连接两个并列成分。当连接两个并列主语时，谓语动词通常要与nor后面的代词或名词在人称和数上保持一致。如：
We had neither money nor food. Neither Jim nor I am right. 【运用】 Ⅰ. 单项选择。

Step 6 Homework Make a conversation between you and your mother, using the sentence pattern “Could you please …? Could I …?” Section A 3 (Grammar focus-4c) Step 1 Revision 根据所学内容，写出下列短语。

叠衣服 洗餐具 用某人的电脑 扔垃圾 铺床 扫地 熬夜 生某人的气 带……出去散步 打扫客厅 在……上工作 过来 做家务 搭车 fold one’s clothes, do the dishes, use one’s computer, take out the rubbish make the bed, sweep the floor, stay out late, be angry with sb., take sb. for a walk clean the living room, work on, come over, do the housework, get a ride Step 2 Presentation 阅读下列句子，观察问句的用法及回答。

Could I go out for dinner with my friends? Sure, that should be OK. Could we get something to drink after the movie? No, you can’t. You have a basketball game tomorrow. Could you please take the dog for a walk? OK, but I want to watch one show first. Could you please take out the rubbish? Yes, sure. Step 3 Grammar Could you（please）+ V-原形？表示委婉地提出请求 1. Could you please clean your room? Yes, sure. / Of course./ Certainly./All right. 2. Could you please do the dishes? Sorry, I can’t. I have to do my homework. Could I/ we + V-原形？ 表示向别人征询许可 —Could I go out tonight, Mom? —Yes, you can. / No, you can’t. 在表示请求帮助或请求允许的疑问句中，常用could代替can，以表示礼貌，委婉或不确定的语气，而can则不具备这些语气。这种情况下不能把could看作can的过去式。以上两句中用could是为了表示礼貌的请求。表示请求帮助或请求允许时，除了can, could之外，还可以用may，句子的表达方式也各有不同，可以用不同的方式来表示同一个概念。例：
① Could/Can/May I use your car for a day? ② I wonder if I could use your car for a day? 对于①、②句所作允答可以各种各样，如同意可以说Yes或Sure或Certainly，还可说Yes, (do) please. 或Of course. (you may/can). 或Go ahead, please. 或That’s OK/all right; 如果不同意，可以说I’m sorry you can’t. 或I’m really sorry, but I have to use it today. 要避免说No, you can’t. 这样显得很不礼貌。否定回答通常用委婉语气。

③ Do you mind if I use your car for a day? 对于句③所作回答可以说Never mind. /Not at all. 表“不介意”。不能用Yes. /Sure. /Of course. /Certainly.等。无论肯定还是否定应答中，要避免使用could，要用can或may。因为应答须用确定的语气。而could在表请求的问句中是为了表示礼貌或委婉语气，用在应答中则成了不确定语气，与情理不符。所以应答中不说Yes, you could. 或No, you couldn’t. 而要说Yes, you can. 或Sorry. /No, you can’t. —Could I please use your computer? —Sorry, I’m going to work on it now. —Well, could I watch TV? —Yes, you can. Could I/you please …？表示一种有礼貌的请求或提议，其后连接原形动词，比Can you /I…？语气更委婉。类似句型有：
Would you like + sth. / to do sth.? May I + do sth.? Shall we + do sth.? Would you mind + sth. /doing sth.? What / How about + sth. /doing sth.? 肯定回答有Sure. /Of course. / Certainly. /OK. /Great. / Well. / Good idea. / I agree. 等。否定回答有Sorry… / No, you can’t. 等。

Step 4 Practice Make up dialogues using the sentences in Grammar Focus with your partner. A: Could you please take the dog for a walk? B: OK, but I want to watch one show first. 4a Write R for requests and P for permission. Then match each one with the correct response. 1. ___ Could I hang out with my friends after the movies? 出去玩 2. ___ Could you please pass me the salt? 3. ___ Could I borrow that book? 4. ___ Could you help me do the dishes? 5. ___ Could you lend me some money? a.

I cut my finger and I＇m trying not to get it wet. Note：
borrow和lend borrow和lend都有“借”的意思，但它们的含义和用法有所不同。

★ borrow表示“借入”，即把本来不属于自己的东西借来暂时使用，常与介词from连用。如：
You can borrow a book from the library.  ★ lend表示“借出”，即把属于自己的东西借给别人暂时使用，常与介词to连用，也可以跟双宾语。如：
He’s going to lend his bike to Tom. You mustn’t lend others my pen.  4b Fill in the blanks in the conversation. A: I hate to ____ chores. B: Well, I hate some chores too, but I like other chores.

It is the parents’ job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children. 此处代词it仅为形式上的主语, 真正的主语是to provide … for their children。我们也可将It is one’s job (duty, …) to do something.视为一个固定的句型, 表示“做某事是某人的工作(职责等)”。如: It’s every teacher’s job to explain things clearly to the students. 把东西给学生讲明白是每一位老师应做的事情。

Can you offer me something to drink? We should offer seats to the old on the bus. ◆ provide常用来表示提供需要或有用的东西。常用于provide sb. with sth.或provide sth. for sb. 结构中，表示“为某人提供某物”。如：

1) The Internet can ________ us with all kinds of information. provide 2) Anna’s school ________ her a very good chance last year. offered 3) Can you ________ fifteen rooms for thirty people? provide 2. And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult. anyway作副词，可位于句首或句尾，修饰整个句子，常用于转换话题，表示“尽管如此；

Alice was ill / sick yesterday. ◆不同点 表示“生病”时，sick 可作定语，但ill 通常不作定语。如：
Could you help the sick girl? 【运用】根据句意，用ill或sick填空。

The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future. “the+比较级+……, the+比较级+……”是英语中一个常用的句型结构, 表示“越……, 就越……”。如: The higher you climb up the mountain, the colder you’ll feel. 你越往山上爬，你就会感到越冷。
