Answer 1

【答案】

1.talking→talking about

2.with→that　

3.man→men

4.and→but

5.am→was

6.is→be

7.has→there is

8.to move→moving

9.can’t→couldn’t　

10.I→but I

【解析】

1.本句含義是“他們正談論老人和年輕人”，talk 是不及物動詞，不能直接加賓語。

2.agree后面是賓語從句，要用that 來引導。

3.one of 后面要加可數(shù)名詞的復數(shù)形式，所以用men。

4.前面是肯定后面是否定要用表示轉折關系的連詞but。

5.因為他想表達的是像他年輕時候一樣壯，應該是描述以前的情況。

6.情態(tài)動詞后面要加動詞原形，所以要用be而不是is。

7.本句應該是個there be 句型，只不過把介詞短語提前了。

8.try to do 含義是“盡力去做某事”，try doing 表示“試著去做某事”。

9.前后一致的原則，要用過去式的形式。

10.前后兩個簡單句不能直接用逗號相連，應用連詞。
