各位家长好,我是长沙英语王若敏 Via 老师。
如果说 Unit 1 是"过去的事",那 Unit 2 就是"家里的事"——家庭生活 + 家务分工 + 礼貌请求。这个单元的语法核心是情态动词 can / could 的请求用法,是初中阶段最实用、最贴近日常生活的语法点——孩子终于可以用英语礼貌地说"请帮我……可以吗?"了。
一、核心词汇
二、必背短语
三、核心语法:can 和 could 的请求用法
情态动词 can / could 在这个单元是重点中的重点——它不只是"能力",更是日常礼貌对话的桥梁。
(一)can 的三大用法(必考)
| 能力 | ||
| 请求 | Can | |
| 许可 | Can |
(二)could 的两大考点(必背)
1. 委婉请求(比 can 更礼貌)
Could you (please) pass me the salt? Could you please help me with the dishes?
2. 过去能力(一般过去时里 could = was/were able to)
I could swim at the age of five.
(我五岁时就会游泳。)
(三)回答 Could 问句用 can 不用 could(铁律!)
— Could I use your bike?
— Yes, you can. ✅ — Yes, you could. ❌
为什么? Could 在委婉请求中是现在时态(只是语气更客气),不是过去时。回答时回到 can 即可。
(四)could 的所有用法(6 个层级)
- 现在委婉请求
:Could you please open the door? - 现在委婉许可
:Could I borrow your pen? - 过去能力
:I could ride a bike when I was five. - 过去委婉请求
:He asked if I could help him. - 虚拟语气(高级)
:If I were you, I could go.(九年级会学到) - could have done(本应能)
:You could have told me earlier.
初中阶段重点掌握 1、2、3 三种。
(五)Could you please ... ? 三步否定回答
完整示例:
— Could you please clean the living room? — Sorry, I can't. I have to do my homework now. Maybe you can ask Dad?
四、写作专题:家务分工表(My Family Chores)
写作任务:用英语介绍家里的家务分工情况,60-80 词。
(一)写作思路——三段式
- 开头
:总述——In my family, everyone does chores. - 主体
:分 2-3 个家人介绍具体分工(who does what when) - 结尾
:表达感受——doing chores makes our home clean and sweet
(二)写作词汇宝箱
(三)写作黄金句型(必背 5 条)
- 总述
:In my family, everyone does chores. - 职责
:My mother cooks delicious meals, and my father does the dishes after dinner. - 自己
:On school days, I make my bed and take out the rubbish. - 周末
:At the weekend, we clean the house together. - 感受
:Doing chores makes our home clean and sweet. / I think everyone should help out at home!
(四)参考范文:My Family Chores
In my family, everyone does chores. My mother cooks delicious meals every day, and my father does the dishes after dinner. My little sister is only four, but she can put away her toys.
On school days, I make my bed and take out the rubbish. Sometimes I help my mother fold the clothes. On the weekend, we clean the house together — I sweep the floor, my father cleans the living room, and my mother tidies the kitchen.
Doing chores makes our home clean and sweet. I think everyone should help out at home!
(五)保底模板(考试直接套用)
In my family, everyone does chores.
On school days, I ______ (自己做的家务 1) and ______ (自己做的家务 2). My mother ______ (妈妈做的), and my father ______ (爸爸做的).
At the weekend, we ______ (周末一起做的家务). Doing chores makes our home ______ (形容词). I think everyone should ______!
五、易错点(这些坑千万别踩!)
- housework 不可数
:many housework(错)much housework(对)。但 chores 可数:do many chores。 - 回答 Could 用 can 不用 could
:Yes, you could.(错)Yes, you can.(对)。 - could 是现在时态
:could 在请求里不表示过去。Could you please ... 是现在的礼貌。 - could 表过去能力用 was/were able to 替代
也可以:I could swim = I was able to swim(过去)。 - borrow 和 lend 方向相反
:I borrow a book from you.(我向你借书)/ You lend a book to me.(你借我书)。 - take out the rubbish 不加冠词 a
:the rubbish(对)a rubbish(错)。
六、自测 3 题(检验你是否真的懂了)
第 1 题 — ______ I use your ruler, Lily? — Sure, you ______. But please give it back soon.
A. Could; canB. Can; couldC. Could; couldD. Can; can
答案:A 解析:问句用 Could 表委婉,回答用 can
第 2 题 — Could you please pass me the salt? — ______
A. Yes, you could.B. No, thanks.C. Sure, here you are.D. Sorry, you couldn't.
答案:C 解析:Sure, here you are. 是正确答语
第 3 题 My sister ______ to cook when she ______ only five years old.
A. could; isB. could; wasC. can; isD. can; was
答案:B 解析:过去能力用 could;过去时用 was
