介词是非常常见的短小单词比如like, at, for, in, on 和 to。通常位于名词或代词前面,表达与另外一个词之间的关系。
介词: | ||
Thida works | at | the market. |
This coffee’s | for | Luca! |
Alejandro lives | in | Peru. |
Agnieszka’s | on | the bus. |
Mika’s listening | to | J-pop again. |
英语为母语的人很少在介词使用中犯错,但是英语学习者却总在介词使用上栽跟头。这是因为我们也许更多地是从自己的母语中直译,而不是认真聆听并学习地道的说法。
