Sorry.与Excuse me.都有\对不起\的意思。sorry侧重于事后对所犯的过错或不能满足对方的要求而向对方表示歉意的场合。Excuse me.为客套用语,常常在\向人问路\、\向对方询问情况\、\插话\、\请求\等场合使用。 4. this / that / it
①this意思为\这;这个\,指较近的人或物;that意思为\那;那个\,指较远的人或物。②this, that可与is连用,用来表明或介绍一个人或物。其中that is可以缩写为that's,但this is没有缩写形式。例如:This is my friend, Tom.这是我的朋友汤姆。That's an English jeep.那是一辆英国吉普车。③打电话时,this表示自己,that表示对方。例如:Hello, this
is Tom. Is that Jim?喂,我是汤姆。你是吉姆吗?④表示\那天\可用that day,表示\今天\不能用this day,而应该用today。⑤回答this,that的问句时,一般要用it来代替this或that,同时代词it应根据问句译为\这\或\那\。例如:-What's that? -It's a bike. 5. That's right. / Tha's all right.
That's right中的right意思是\对的\,\正确的\,如果对方说的话或讲的道理,你认为是对的,则用此语。That's all right.主要用于表示对别人的感谢,意为\不用谢\,\不客气\。另外,That's all right.也可以用于对别人的道歉或感谢所作出的礼貌回答。如:-I'm sorry. I broke the cup. -That's all right. 6. have / there be
have和there be都可以表示\有\,其中have表示\所有,拥有\;there be则表示\存在\。there be句型中的动词be应该根据后面的主语确定,若主语是不可数名词或单数可数名词则用is,若主语是复数名词则用are。另外,若含有两个或两个以上的并列主语时,则应该根据最靠近be的主语确定选用is或are。 7. some / any
some和any都有\一些\的意思,都可以用来修饰可数名词和不可数名词,但用法有别:①some一般用于肯定句中;any则用于否定句和疑问句中。②若是带有some的肯定句变为否定句或疑问句时,则需将some改为any。③some也可以用于表示请求、建议或希望对方肯定回答的疑问句中。例如:Would you like some bananas?你愿意吃些香蕉吗? 8. in the wall / on the wall

1)在否定疑问句中,表示问话人的肯定倾向和对否定的惊讶和怀疑。如: Don't you have some new books? You have some new books, don't you?
