课文 & 语法讲解

• 1、Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man.

was telling 过去进行时

• 2、Before he retired, Frank was the head of a large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop.

retired 表示过去的事，所以用一般过去式

used to do 过去常常做某事（现在不再做了）

例句：

                我过去常喝很多咖啡。

• 3、It was his job to repair bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day.

It 指的是 to repair bicycles, 为什么这么做？
To repair bicycles was his job. 跟原句一样的意思
原因是：一个句子主语不适合太长，超过整个句子二分之一，所以遇到特殊长的主语，往后放，用it（形式主语）代替主语。这不是强制的

例句
        1、环游世界是我的梦想
              It is my dream to travel around the world.

            我自己一个漂亮的房间
             a beautiful room of my own
