三、答案
(一)標點符號大小寫練習:
1. 改正:I like to skate, and you like to
swim 不同的主詞,需用”逗點”分開
(這種叫做compound sentence)
2. 不需改正:不需用標點,因為是同一個
主詞(這種叫做simple sentence)
3. 改正:同一個主詞,(是simple sentence
)不需用逗點
4. 不需改正:不同主詞,(是compound
sentence),需用逗點分開
5. 改正:April 4, 2008
6. 改正:Tamsui, Taipei, Taiwan
7. 改正:(1)“Many...”第一個字母用大
寫 (2)“Many people are here.”
句點放在引號內
8. 改正:(1)“Many people are here,”
he said雖然引句已說完,但是全部的句
子還沒說完,引號之內仍用”逗點”,
後面需用小寫“he”
9. (1)破折號(dash)之前不用標點符號
,所以把句點拿掉
(2)破折號之後用小寫,所以把This 改
成this.
I’m so surprised-this is the best gift I
’ve ever had!
(二)文法答案:
1. (1)過去式 came to my house
(2)過去式 I am just going to 改成 I
was justgoing to

wondering

5. 假設語氣 My mom wishes that I were
a boy.
6. 兩個都是現在假設語氣(因為現在並沒
有你的背景),所以用往過去挪一步變成
過去式

appreciate it.
7. (1)過去假設had started
(2)現在假設 will be different改成
would be different If I had started
learning English when I was very small,
