T:Please look at the screen.Here are some exercises for you.Choose a suitable answer for each sentence and give as some reason if you can.Discuss it with your partner or in groups.In a few minutes,I’ll ask some students to give us their answers. 1.This shirt is too_________.

9.He _________ (A.turned B.became) writer.
T:Now give us the correct answer,please.One student,one sentence. Sa:1.We should choose B.
Sb:2.We should choose “terribly” here.It is not a predicative,but an adverbial,modifying “sorry”. Sc:3.The answer is A.When we express “某人是单身汉”,we say “somebody is single” in English.
S d:4.Here we need an adverb,modifying “look at”,so B is needed. S e:5.Here we should use an adjective as the predicative.
S f:6.We should choose A and B.The first is the predicative,and for the second we should choose an adverb used as an adverbial.
S g:7.We should choose “lonely” for the first blanket,meaning “孤独的”;and choose “alone” for the second,meaning “独自一个”.
S h:8.We should choose A and B.That’s to say,we should use “good” as the predicative and “well” as the adverbial.
S i:9.Here we should choose “turn”.“Turn writer” has the same meaning as “become a writer”. Step Ⅳ Practice
T:As we all know,the predicate verb must agree with its subject,that is to say,a singular subject takes a single verb,while a plural subject takes a plural verbs.However,sometimes when the subjects are the same,but the predicate verbs are different.Look at the sentences on the screen and choose a suitable verb for each of them.Pair work or group work.We’ll check the answers in a few minutes.
