复习 doing/done/to do 作 定语/状语

    ·take v.    花费

    ·sth. take sb. some time，take 可以改变时态表达更多意思（takes/took/will take/have taken ...）

    ·To do sth. takes sb. some time.    去做某事花费了某人一些时间，to do 过长可以放在句尾用 it 作形式主语，It takes sb. some time to do sth.

    ·练习

        ·It took me ten minutes to persuade her.

'I'm going to Woodford Green,' I said to the conductor as I got on the bus, 'but I don't know where it is.'

    ·get on/off the bus.    上车/下车

    ·where it is，作 know 的宾语从句，所以第一步先改为陈述语句，原句是 where is it，它在哪里？

'I'll tell you where to get off,' answered the conductor.

    ·I'II tell you where you should get off.    

    ·wh-/how to do    宾语从句的省略

Looking round, I realized that I was the only passenger left on the bus.

    ·Looking round 修饰整个句子，作状语，ing 主动去看

    ·... left on the bus.    修饰名词作定语 left 是 done 被动，被落在车上的

'This is as far as we go.'

    ·as ... as    原级比较，和 ... 相比，和我们能走的比一样远
