Grammar Focus 文法重點
Be Verbs (am / is / are)Contractions 縮寫
Contractions shorten two words into one. "I'm" = "I am". Always capitalize "I".
縮寫把兩個字合成一個，中間用撇號（apostrophe）連接。"I" 永遠要大寫。
| Subject 主詞 | Be Verb | Contraction 縮寫 | Example 例句 |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | am | I'm | I'm tall. |
| He / She / It | is | He's / She's | She's short. |
| You / We / They | are | You're | You're strong. |
Mini Quiz · 小考
Select the best answer for each question. 選出每題最適合的答案。
Question 1 / 10
Mike strong.
Correct. "Mike" is one person (singular) → use is.
"Mike" is one person, so use is. "am" is only for "I". "are" is for you / we / they.
Question 2 / 10
"You are tall." → Choose the correct contraction.
Correct. "You are" → You're. The apostrophe replaces the letter "a".
"You are" contracts to You're. "You'm" and "You's" do not exist in English.
Question 3 / 10
Which sentence is correct? 哪個句子正確？
Correct. I'm tall and strong. — "I" always uses "am" (or "I'm"), and "I" must be capitalized.
(A) is correct. "I" only uses "am" / "I'm". (D) is wrong because "I" must always be capitalized.
Question 4 / 10
She short and thin.
Correct. "She" is singular → She is short and thin.
"She" is singular, so use is. "am" is only for "I". "are" is for you / we / they.
Question 5 / 10
"He is strong." → Choose the correct contraction.
Correct. "He is" → He's. Same pattern as "She's" = "She is".
"He is" contracts to He's. "He'm" and "He're" do not exist.
Question 6 / 10
Which word means 矮 (the opposite of tall)?
Correct. short = 矮. The opposite pair: tall (高) ↔ short (矮).
矮 = short. Remember: tall (高) ↔ short (矮); strong (強壯) ↔ thin (瘦).
Question 7 / 10
Which be verb goes with "I"?
Correct. "I" always uses am. "I am" = "I'm".
"I" uses am. "is" goes with he / she / it. "are" goes with you / we / they.
Question 8 / 10
Lisa and Tom tall.
Correct. "Lisa and Tom" = two people (plural) → use are.
"Lisa and Tom" means two people, so use are. Use "is" for one person (he / she).
Question 9 / 10
Which sentence has an error? 哪個句子有錯誤？
Correct. (B) should be He is strong. — "He" uses "is", not "are".
The error is (B). "He" is singular → He is strong. "are" is for you / we / they.
Question 10 / 10
What does "strong" mean in Chinese?
Correct. strong = 強壯. Remember: tall (高), short (矮), strong (強壯), thin (瘦).
strong = 強壯. Review: tall (高), short (矮), strong (強壯), thin (瘦).
