strict用作形容词,意为“严格的; 严厉的”,在句中既可以作表语,也可以作定语。如:
My mother is always very strict. Mr Smith is a very strict teacher. strict还常用于以下短语:
be strict with sb.表示“对某人要求严格”。如: The teacher is always strict with us.
be strict in sth. 表示“对某事要求严格”。如: Linda is always strict in her work. 2. Where were you born?
be born意为“出生”,并且动词be常常 用过去式was或were。be born后面可跟不同的介词,表示“出生的时间、地点”。如: When were you born? Li Gang was born in Beijing.
