指示代词易错点:电话用语This is Mary、介绍人用This is、指代上文用that/it
引言
指示代词除了"远近单复数",还有三个容易丢分的隐藏考点:电话里怎么说"我是谁"、介绍人为什么用 this、指代刚说过的话用哪个词。一次讲清。
核心概念:电话用语用 this/that
```text
英语打电话,介绍自己用 this,询问对方用 that
不用 I 和 you!
Hello! This is Mary. 你好!我是玛丽。
Who is that? (电话里)你是谁?
```
```text
✗ Hello! I am Mary.
✗ Who are you?
✓ Hello! This is Mary speaking.
✓ Who is that speaking?
```
易错点一:介绍人用 this
```text
向别人介绍某人,用 this,不用 he/she
This is my father. 这是我的爸爸。
This is my teacher. 这是我的老师。
近处介绍身边的人,一律用 This is...
```
易错点二:指代上文用 that/it
```text
已经说过的事物,再次提到用 that 或 it
I like the book. That's a good book.
我喜欢这本书。那是一本好书。
The weather is nice. That makes me happy.
天气很好。那让我很开心。
```
```text
对比:提问用 that 回答
What's that in the sky?
天上那是什么?
It's a plane.
是一架飞机。
```
易错点三:this/that 后接名词的数
```text
this + 名词单数 this book
these + 名词复数 these books
that + 名词单数 that pen
those + 名词复数 those pens
this is(缩略 this's 不常用)
that is → that's(可以缩写)
these are / those are(不能缩写)
```
实战练习
```text
- Hello! ______ is Tom speaking. → This(电话自我介绍用 this)
- ______ is my mother. → This(介绍身边人用 this)
- What's ______ in the sky?→ that(远处事物用 that)
- These ______ my books. → are(复数用 are)
```
总结
```text
电话里:this 是自己,that 是对方
介绍人:This is + 人名
指代上文:that / it
单数 is,复数 are,别忘 these/those 后面名词用复数
```
```text
今日小抄:
Hello! This is Mary. 我是玛丽。
Who is that?你是谁?(电话)
This is my father. 这是我的爸爸。
```
