Language points
1. When is your birthday,Linda？你的生日是什么时候，琳达？（教材第43页）
when是疑问副词，意为“什么时候”，引导特殊疑问句，其结构为“When+一般疑问句？”，
回答时可用介词in,on,at等引导的表示时间的介词短语。
—When is Jay Chou’s birthday?周杰伦的生日是什么时候？
—His birthday is on January 18th.他的生日是一月十八号。
【辨析】when与what time
when
意为“什么时候”，可对年、月、日及时刻进行提问或者询问某一动作发生的时间
what time
意为“几点”，用以询问具体的时间，如几点几分
—When do you go to school?你什么时候去上学？
—I go to school from Monday to Friday.我周一到周五去上学。

—At 7:00.七点。

天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
下几点：在美式英语中，记载方法是按月、日、年的顺序，“日”与“年”中间要用逗号隔
开，书写时“日”可以写成序数词形式，也可直接写成阿拉伯数字形式，但读时一定读作序
数词。
April 10th,1997=4/10/1997即1997年4月10日。
在英式英语中，记载方法是按日、月、年的顺序，其他同上面所讲相同。
10th April,1997=10/4/1997即1997年4月10日。
3.Happy birthday!生日快乐！（教材第44页）

be happy with/about sb./sth.对某人、某事满意
be happy to do sth.高兴做某事
4.—How old are you?你多大了？
—I’m thirteen.我十三岁。（教材第44页）
（1） 这是询问年龄的常用语，其同义句是：What’s your age?

语法拓展
一、 when引导的特殊疑问句
1. when为疑问副词，常用来询问时间，意为“什么时候”。When is sb.’s birthday?是用来询
天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
问某人生日是何时的常用句型，意为“……的生日是什么时候？”其答语为：Sb.’s
birthday/It’s+日期，这里sb.’s要用形容词性物主代词或名词所有格。
—When is her birthday?她的生日是什么时候？
—Her birthday is on August 9th.她的生日是8月9日。
1. 名词所有格表示“某人的”，通常是 “名词+’s”。
二、 序数词
1. 概念：表示事物的顺序的数词叫做序数词，它的作用相当于名词或形容词。
2. 构成：
（1） 变异类：one→first第一；two→second第二；three→third第三。
（2） 普通类：第四至第十九均在相应的基数词后加-th,但第五（fifth）和第十二（twelfth）
均把基数词five和twelve词尾的ve改为f,再加-th。基数词eight的序数词，直接在后加-h,
即eighth。基数词nine的序数词，将词尾的e去掉，再加-th,即ninth。
（3） “ty类”：即以“ty”结尾的整十的序数词是把对应基数词的最后一个字母y变成i,
再加-eth。
如：twenty→twentieth；forty→fortieth
（4） 几十几类：表示“几十几”的基数词变序数词时，只将个位变成序数词，十位数不变。
如：twenty-three→twenty-third
【注意】序数词的前面往往加定冠词the,但当序数词前有物主代词、指示代词等修饰时，则
不必加the。
三、 时间介词on,in与at辨析
1.on常用在表示星期几或具体某一日及某一日的上午、下午或晚上的名词前。
如：on May 4th在五月四日
2.in常用在年、月、季节、世纪及表示泛指上午、下午或晚上的名词前。
如：in March在三月；in the morning在早上
3.at常用在表示某一具体时刻的名词前。
如：at ten在十点；at noon在正午
