- 14 days
- And how was it?
- oh, it was so bad, we had to eat box lunches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, we couldn’t leave at all, and we stayed at a military base.

John 與 Anna 對話
- Did you have breakfast?
- Yes, I had some tea and I will continue to eat after the meeting.
- Not beer?
- haha, why?
- I think Germans drink beer any time.
- Oh LOL, in fact I’m French.
- Cool, my honeymoon was went to Paris.
- Wow, did you have a good memory?
- Yes, I lost my iphone last day and lost all photos of honeymoon. Then my wife was cried for lost the photos, not my iphone.
修正(一)
“I think Germans drink beer any time”
*I think 意思是「我覺得」,表達「以為」一律用 thought
– I thought you finished washing the dishes.
– I thought you did the report.
– I thought you loved me!
注意(二)
“in fact I’m French”
想提供更多資訊,表達「喔,其實…」用 in fact
– Did you do the dishes? I did, in fact, I also mopped the floor.
– Did it rain yesterday? Yes, in fact it rained the entire week.
修正(三)
“Cool, my honeymoon was went to Paris.”
句型解釋:主詞 Honeymoon 不能去巴黎,應改為 “I” ,went 不需要被動 was,除非接受某個動作。 例,我被打 “I was hit”,去巴黎不是被動,I went to Paris 即可。最後,為了做某件事,用 for,所以 for my honeymoon。
造句練習:
一、我去日本出差
二、我去歐洲開會
一、我去日本出差:I went to Japan for a business trip.
二、我去歐洲開會:I went to Europe for a conference
修正(四)
“Yes, I lost my iPhone last day”
少 on the > on the last day 才正確
修正(五)
“Then my wife was cried”
這跟上面一樣,cry 不需被動,刪掉 was。
>>> Then my wife cried not because I lost my phone, but because we lost all the photos.
