很多英语为母语的人把 theretheirthey're读得很像,很难通过对方表情判断到底说的是那一个。英语中这种问题还有很多,而这些词实际上意思有很大差别。想要了解有什么差别?往下读。

  1. 1
    there 指示一个地点。这个地点可以是具体的("over there by the building")或模糊的 ("it must be difficult to live there")。
  2. 2
    there 和BE动词 (is, am, are, was, were) 一起用,表示某物存在,或者第一次提起某物。
    • There is an antique store on Camden Avenue.(Camden大道上有个古董店)
    • There are many documents that are used in investigations.(调查中要用到很多的文件)
    • There is a picnic area over here, and a monster and a campground across the river.(那里有片野餐地,河对面还有个怪物和野营地。)
    • "I see there are new flowers coming up in your garden." "Yes, they are the ones my grandmother gave me last year."(“我看到你花园里有新的花开了”,“是啊,那些花是去年奶奶给我的”)
  3. 3
    their 表示所有格。这是一个所有格形容词,表示该物品属于them.(他们)
    • My friends have lost their tickets.(我这些朋友把他们的票给弄丢了)
    • Their things were strewn about the office haphazardly.(办公室里满地都是他们的东西,乱七八糟的。)
  4. 4
    记住,they're 是简化的theyare的合并词,不能用作修饰语,只能作为主语+动词的形式来用。
    • Hurry up! They're closing the mall at six tonight!(快点!他们今晚六点就关商场的门了!)
    • I'm glad that they're so nice to new students here.(他们对新学生这么好,我可高兴了。)
  5. 5
    试试这些用语。看到这三个词中的一个时,总问问自己这些问题,不过要记得这些问题并不适合所有情况:
    • there的话,如果换成here是否还成句?是的话就用对了。
    • their的话,换成our是否能成句?是的话就用对了。
    • they're的话,换成they are是否还成句?是的话就用对了。
  6. 6
    要学会辨别错误例子,从错误中汲取知识。仔细看看别人是否写对,(特别是可以在帮别人审看编辑时来发现错误),你可训练自己对这些区别和用法的感觉敏锐度。
    • 错误例子: Their is no one here.
    • 错误例子: Shelley wants to know if there busy.
    • 错误例子: The dogs are happily chewing on they're bones.
    • 正确例子: I can't believe they're leaving their children there, alone!(我不敢相信,他们把孩子独自留在那了!)
  7. 7
    多多练习!请你的英语老师,或找个朋友来大声说这三个用语的正确用句例子,并且听写他们用到的词,如果还有问题,就聘请一个私人英语教师吧。

小提示

  • 另一个提示: “there” 中隐藏了“here”,暗示指示的是地点。“their”中隐藏了 “heir”,暗示指示的是所有物。
  • 试着想象你的邻居在屋外,正把不小心洒地上的垃圾捡起来,你指着他们,对朋友说: "Look over there [地点], they're [they are] picking up their rubbish [邻居的所有物]"(快看那,他们在捡他们的垃圾)
  • 如果说的是"there is" 或 "there are" 则一定用的是"there" -- 你不可能说"they're is" 或 "they're are" 或 "their is" 或 "their are".
  • 通过以下方法记住 there, their, 和 they're的用法:
    • there: here 隐藏在there,所以there 用来指代地点。
    • their: he 隐藏在their ,所以 their 指代人物(所有格)
    • they're: 有个' 隐藏在they're 中,因此they're 相当于they are。 用they are 替换they're 来说,看看是否成句。
  • 不确定是否用对了"their" ,就换成"my" 试试—看看是否成句。例子: Their house is purple.(他们的房子是紫的)。 把"their" 换成 "my" 还能成句: My house is purple. (我的房子是紫的)这样你就能明白"their"是否用对了。
  • 把省略部分写出来,比如can't 换成 cannotyou're 换成 you are,, they're 换成 they are。如此可以明白各个用法是否有误。
    • 用错的they're books 就会变为: they are books.
      • 因此不成句 ,所以是错的。
  • 拼写正确的话,学业做得好,工作找的好,还可以给 How.com.vn 写好文章。
  • 在文档编辑器里关闭自动改错功能。这个功能让人们变得越来越懒惰,忘了本应该记住的特殊用法。
  • 把"they're" 、 "their" 的排除以后,"there" 就是最后选择了!
