實用英語句型

Would/Do you know of
當我們到我們不熟悉的地方時,想請問別人有什麼地方好去或好吃時,我們可以用…
Would/Do you know of a place ...
  • Would you know of a place we can get a lunch?
  • Do you know of a place nearby to eat?
  • Would you know of a place we can get
Would/Do you know of ... 我覺得是一個很實用的句型,例如說:
  • Would you know of any airline ...
  • Would you know of any decent deli ...
  • Would you know of any website we can ...
In that case
In that case 的用法:In that case 中文翻譯是「那樣的話」,在書本上看到這一個 phrase 的時候,應該可以把這一個 phrase 用在很多地方,譬如說當對方在表達對方的想法或意見的時候我們可以回答:
  • In that case, why don't we eat at night market.
  • In that case, I'll book other meeting for topic.
I'm afraid
I'm afraid (that) + 子句 ... 這一種句型我們常常見到,有表「恐怕」的意思,例如說:
  • I'm afraid I am busy at the afternoon.
  • I'm afraid their decision is final.
除了接子句之外,也常常接介系詞 of,表對某事感到恐懼:
  • I'm afraid of ghost.
  • I'm afraid of my mother.
也可以簡單的來表示「恐怕不行」、「恐怕是這樣」
  • I'm afraid not. 恐怕不行。
  • I'm afraid so. 恐怕是這樣。
