② look for意为“寻找”,是有目的地找,强调“寻找”这一动作。
例:I’m looking for my pen everywhere. 我正到处找我的钢笔。

③ find out意为“找出、发现、查明”,多指通过调查、寻问、打听、研究之后“搞清楚、弄明白”,通常含有“经过困难曲折”的含义,指找出较难找到的、无形的、抽象的东西。例:Please find out when the train leaves. 请查一下火车什么时候离站。ead this passage,and find out the anwer to this question
重点语法
一般现在时的被动语态
概念理解
1. 时态:在英语语言中,时态主要讨论行为动词发生的时间。
2. 语态:在英语语言中,语态主要讨论句子主语与行为动词的关系。语态有两种:主动语态和被动语态。
① 主语是动作的发出者(执行者)为主动语态。
如: The tall boy often hits his classmates (主语boy是谓语动词hit的发出者)。
② 主语是动作的接受者(承受者)为被动语态。汉语中常用“被”、“给”、“由”、“受”等词用来表示被动,而英语用:助动词be + 及物动词的过去分词构成
如: Chinese is spoken by the most people in the world(主语Chinese是谓语动词speak的承受者)。
