e.g.:Idon'tknow,either.【辨析】either,too,also與aswell(1)either用于否定句，放于句尾，意為"（后者）也（不）"其前常有逗號。

e.g.:Ifhedoesn'tgo,Iwon'tgo,either.(2)too用于肯定句，且一般放于句末，意為“(后者)也”，其前常有逗號。

e.g.:Jimlikesred.Ilikered,too.LanguagePoints(3)also用于肯定句，且放于連系動詞、助動詞或情態(tài)動詞之后，實義動詞之前，意為“也”。

e.g.:Theyalsoagreewithme.(4)aswell常用于肯定句句末，意為“也；還”，其前無逗號。

e.g.:HespeaksEnglish,andheknowsFrenchaswell.2.Maybeitwasabearorawolf.也許它是一只熊或一只狼。（教材P59）

maybe此處作副詞，意為“也許，可能”，相當(dāng)于perhaps,常位于句首。

e.g.:Maybeshe'llcomethisafternoon.Maybeyouputtheletterinyourpockets.【辨析】maybe與maybe(1)maybe意為“也許是，可能是”，may是情態(tài)動詞，be是動詞原形，兩者構(gòu)成完整的謂語形式，與主語形成系表結(jié)構(gòu)。

e.g.:Hemaybeasoldier.(2)maybe和maybe可相互轉(zhuǎn)換。

e.g.:Maybeyouareright.=Youmayberight.3.Theremustbesomethingvisitingthehomesintheneighborhood,...一定有什么東西闖入了我們社區(qū)的住戶家中，......（教材P59）theremustbe是therebe與情態(tài)動詞must連用的結(jié)構(gòu)，表示對現(xiàn)在情況的肯定推測，意為“一定有......”。

e.g.:Theremustbesomeoneintheroom.“Therebe+名詞+doingsth.”句型表示“有......在做某事”。

e.g.:Thereissomeoneknockingatthedoor.Therearesomeboysstandingontheplayground.4.Thenoise-makerishavingtoomuchfuncreatingfearintheneighborhood.噪音制造者非常樂于在社區(qū)里制造恐懼。（教材P59）havefun意為“玩得高興；過得愉快”，其同義短語為haveagreat/good/wonderfultime和enjoyoneself。

e.g.:Didyouhavefunattheparty?It’sagoodplacetohavefun.havefun(in)doingsth.意為“做某事很開心”。

e.g.:Thekidsarehavingfunplayingintheparknow.Didyouhavefunvisitingthatmuseum?一、用所給單詞的正確形式填空。1.Thereisan_______________(usual)thinghappeninginourneighborhood.2.Ithinkitmustbeteenagers_______________(have)fun.3.Thesedays,strangethings________________(happen).4.Therearetwo_______________(wolf)fighting.5.These_____________(policeman)areruningafterthethief.unusualhavingarehappeningwolvespolicemenExercise二、單項選擇。()1.Theremust_______somebody_______afterme.A.have;runB.be;runC.have;torunD.be;running()2.Wehadfun_______applesonthefarmwiththefarmerslastweek.A.topickB.pickingC.pickD.pickedDB()3.Nothing________tome.A.strangehappensB.strangeishappenedC.elsehappenswithD.elseishappened
