People的意思是“人们;人民”,
用法:
1.指“人们”是用people;指“人民”时用the people.People或the people作主语时,谓语动词通常用复数形式.如:
Few people know the truth.很少有人知道实情.
Some people spend a lot of money on clothses.有些人在穿衣上花很多钱.
2.people 在指“民族”时,可以说a people,one people,这两者都指“一个民族”,peoples指“多个民族”.One or two peoples指的是“一两个民族”.如:
That is a people who have /has little in common with us.那是一个跟我们有很少共同点的民族.(此处定语从句中的谓语动词用单复数均可.)
3.在Sixty people means a huge party.这句话中,动词之所以用单数形式means.是因为在这里sixty people
看成一个整体,就象Five dollars is quite enough.一样.
4.people在指“家里人”时,应与my,his,your等连用.如:
Would you come and meet my people?你来见见我的家人好吗?
英语最高级前不用the的五种情形:
1、形容词最高级前通常用the,副词最高级前的the可以不用。
2、形容词最高级作表语时,有时可以省略the。如:Which of the boys is (the) strongest?这些孩子中哪个最强壮?
3、最高级形容词作表语,副词用状语时,没和别人比较时不用the。如:He’s busiest on Monday.他星期一最忙。
He works hardest when doing something for his family.他为自己家做事时最卖力。
4、最高级前已有名词所有格或物主代词时,不用the。如:He is my best friend.他是我最好的朋友。 Hainan is China’s second largest island. 海南是中国第二大岛。
5、有时most是表示“非常”,而不是最高级,不用the。如:He is a most amazing person. 他是一个非常了不起的人。
