If the subjects in the main clause and the dependent clause are the same.
1.The use of V-ing phrases is usually in written English.
2.The conjunctions "when, because" and "since" need to be left out.
3.If the dependent clause is in perfect tense, we use the "having V(p.p.)" phrase instead of the "V-ing" phrase.

"On" is usually used for places such as road, streets, floors and mountains.
Examples:
1. My English school is on Ming Chuan Road.
2. Her classroom is on the second floor.
3. There was some snow on Ho Huan Mountain last winter.

"in" is usually used for places like classes, buildings, cities, towns, countries and continents.
Examples:
1. Jack is in his English class now.
2. It's very cold in the office.
3. Taipei is in Taiwan, the Republic of China.
4. China is in Asia.

1. May finished washing the dishes by ten o'clock.

After the verbs - like, love, hate, start, begin, etc, we can use either infinitives or gerunds.

"When" + Simple Past Tense
"While" + Past Continuous Tense

Examples:
1. When I arrived at the Sesame Street school, my classmates were playing hide and seek.
2. While my classmates were playing hide-and-seek, I arrived at the Sesame Street school.

We use "while" to indicate duration for an on-going action, and we use "when" to indicate a specific time for a short action.

Verbs like feel, smell, taste, sound, look, and become are called linking verbs. They are followed by adjectives. The adjectives after the linking verbs describe the subjects of the sentences, not the verbs.
S + Linking V + Adj.
Examples:
1. We felt so glad to see you.
2. The coffee smells good.
3. The blueberries taste sweet.
4. This idea sounds great.
5. The squirrels looked hungry when I saw them.
6. LA Boyz became very popular with the people in Taiwan.

1.一個以when開頭的附屬子句表示「當……時候」
2.一個以while開頭的附屬子句表示「在……期間」

1.When I was a baby, I love to cry.
2.While we were watching TV, the lightning struck.

比較複合句及複句:
1.l am hungry, but I don't want to eat.
我餓了，但我不想吃東西。
Though I am hungry, Idon't want to eat.
雖然我餓了，我仍不想吃東西。
2.Laura is dancing and Tommy is singing.
Laura正在跳舞而Tommy正在唱歌。
While Laura is dancing, Tommy is singing.
當Laura正在跳舞的時候，Tommy正在唱歌。
《註》:在一個複合句中，會有兩個完整的句子被連接詞(如:and, or, but, so…等) 連接起來;但是一個複句則是由一個完整的句子，和一個由when, while, though, because…等連接詞所引導之附屬子句所構成。

An infinitive or a gerund can be the subject or object of a sentence.
Examples:
1. To have a new friend is a wonderful thing.
= Having a new friend is a wonderful thing.
2. To live in a small town made them feel safe and peaceful.
= Living in a small town made them feel safe and peaceful.
3. Visiting different countries was so exciting.
= To Visit different countries was so exciting.
4. The children like riding on the carousel.

5. Let's try to do it again. We can make it.

6. Betty planned to start her party at 7:00 pm.
= Betty planned starting her party at 7:00 pm.

Verbs of perception are usually followed by the ing-form of verbs or infinitives without “to.”
[see, hear, watch, look at, listen to, feel]
Examples:
1. Did you see Jenny go/going out?
2. I heard her sing/singing in her bedroom just now.
3.Please watch her practice/practicing the piano when she comes.

If we want to emphasize that the action we “see, hear, feel, watch, look at” or “listen to” is going on, we only use the ing-form of the verbs.
Examples:
1. We heard Barkley barking in the yard.
2. He watched a thief breaking into the house.
3.We saw him catching the thief.

語氣助動詞(Modal Verbs): can, could, would, must
當我們要求別人做事情時,會使用can, could或would
1. Can he come over to play?
2. Could they help us with our homework?
3. Would you please pass the salt to me?

Could和Would 是表示有禮貌的請求.
Examples:
Can you do me a favor?
Could you show me the way to the museum?
Would you please not make the noise?

當我們給予建議或是談及需要時，我們用must
examples:
1. You must study hard if you want to pass the exam.
= You have to study hard if you want to pass the exam.
2. I’m so tired. I must take a break.
= I’m so tired. I have to take a break.

但以who和which開頭的附屬子句，則是當作形容詞用，以描述該子句前的名詞。它們又被為"關係子句”。

Who->用來指"人”
Which->用來指"事情”或是"動物”
(註):我們可以用that來指人、事或動物。

l. The boy is playing basketball.
The boy is my nephew.
->The boy who./that is playing basketball is my nephew.

2. The backpack has a purple stripe.
The backpack is Aaron's.
->The backpack which/that has a purple stripe is Aaron’s.

3.I met a girl yesterday.
The girl is a doctor.
->The girl who/that I met yesterday is a doctor.

4. Do you see a dog?
The dog has black spots on its body.
->Do you see the dog which/that has black spots on its body?

If + 現在簡單式…, … will (not) + 動詞

1. If it’s too wet or too dry, some animals will die.
2. If the Twiddlebugs find a cookie under the napkin, will they give it to Cookie Monster?
3. If you travel to Paris, you will see beautiful Eifel Tower.
4. If it rains this evening, I will not go out.

當我們認為某事是完全不可能發生的，就用下列的句型。

If + [過去簡單式/were]…, … would (not) + 動詞

1. If I were you, I wouldn’t cheat in the exam.(I am not you.)
2. If he were Superman, he would beat all the bad guys in the world.(He is not Superman.)
3. If I had two dollars, I would buy a cake. (I don’t have two dollars)
4. If you didn’t come to class, the teacher would be angry.

<註>
1.在這種if子句中，be動詞只可以使用were.
2.雖然我們在 if 子句中使用過去式的結構，但卻不含有過去式的意義.

We use "for" when we mention the length of the period and "since" when we mention the starting point of the period.

1. I have learned English for six years.
2. Mike has lived here for three months.
3. She has been here since two o'clock.
4. Miss Smith has taught science since 1990.

Verb + Preposition (examples 1-3)
Verb + Adverb (examples 4-6)
Verb + Adverb + Preposition (examples 7-8)

Some "V+Adv" phrasal verbs can be separated. If the object is a noun, it can stand before or after the adverb.

Examples:
1. Please take off your shoes before you get into the house.
-> Please take your shoes off before you get into the house.
2. The noise that they made woke up the baby.
-> The noise that they made woke the baby up.
3. You can look up the new word in the dictionary.
-> You can look the new word up in the dictionary.
4. The students were asked to put down their pencils.
-> The students were asked to put the pencils down.

When we seperate a "V+Adv" phrasal verb, if the object is a pronoun, it must stand between the verb and the adverb.

Examples:
1.A: Please turn on the TV.
B: I've turned it on. (O)
I've turned on it. (X)
2.A: I wonder where the magazines are.
B: I've already put them away. (O)
I've already put away them. (X)
3. Mary saw a ten-dollar bill on the sidewalk, so she picked it up. (O)
Mary saw a ten-dollar bill on the sidewalk, so she picked up it. (X)
4. A: Can you tell me her phone number?
B: Sure. Just a minute. I'll look it up my phonebook. (O)
Sure. Just a minute. I’ll look up it in my phonebook. (X)

Some "V+Adv" phrasal verbs can't be separated, e.g.,
Please fill in the blanks with the correct words.
!= Please fill the blanks in with the correct words.

Adjectives like nice and pretty are opinion adjectives. They tell us what someone thinks about something. They usually go before the fact adjectives.
