☆教材解读☆ 1.Do you feel comfortable when talking to others?when talking to others是带从属连词的动名词短语,在句中作状语,这时v.-ing的逻辑主语通常是主句的主语。这种状语可以转化为状语从句。有时v.-ing的逻辑主语不是主句的主语,要根据上下文判断。2.Have you ever found it hard to make new friends? ◆句中it作形式宾语,to make new friends是真正的宾语。真正的宾语还可以用宾语从句形式。“find it+形容词+to do sth.”为固定结构,意为“发现做某事是……的”,其中it是形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式(短语),该结构可与"find it's+形容词+to do sth.”进行替换。 【拓展】feel,make,keep,think也可用于这一固定结构中。
