好啦！那么我们开始做测试啦！

One, John saw, last week.

第一题

John saw, last week.

John saw ( ) last week

Is it who or is it whom.

括号中填who还是whom?

(ticking)

(5秒倒计时）

The correct answer is whom. (dings)

正确答案是whom

There's an easy way to work out

比较容易得出答案的方法是

if you need to use who or whom.

如果你不确定一个句子中用who还是whom

In the sentence, if he or she fits, use who,

可以通过人称代词来判断，如果he/she说得通，就用who

and if him or her fits, use whom.

如果him/her说得通，就用whom

John saw whom last week?

John 上周看到了谁？

Number two, our politicians want to, change.

第二题：

Our politicians want to, change.

Our politicians want to ( ) change.

Is it affect or effect?

括号中填affect还是effect?

(ticking)

(5秒倒计时）

It is effect with an E. (dings)

答案是effect, 带有字母E的这个词

This is because to effect change is a set verb phrase.

因为effect change是一个动词短语

Our politicians want to effect change.

我们的政治家想要作出一些改变

Number three, did you see the books, I bought her?

第三题：

Did you see the books, I bought her?

Did you see the books ( ) I bought her?

Is it that or is it which?

括号中填写that还是which

(ticking)

(5秒倒计时）

It is that. (dings)

答案是that

Because that is used in defining clauses.

因为that通常用在限定性从句中

Did you see the books that I bought her?

你看到过我给她买的那些书吗？

Number four, neither of us, intelligent enough.

第四题：

Neither of us, intelligent enough.

Neither of us ( ) intelligent enough.

Is it are or is?

括号中填写are还是is?

(ticking)

(5秒倒计时）

It is is. (dings)

答案是is

And this is because if you think about it

如果你把neither of us当作neither one of us来看

like neither one of us is intelligent enough.

就像表达“我们中没有一个人足够聪明”

One goes with is 'cause it's singular.

其中 one 和is 相搭，因为它是单数形式

Neither of us is intelligent enough.

我们都不够聪明

Number five, bag is that?

第五题：

Bag is that?

( ) bag is that

Is it whose or who's, they sound the same?

括号中填whose还是who's，两个单词的发音差不多吧？

Is it who's with an apostrophe or whose with an S-E?

是填写有一撇的who's还是以s-e结尾的单词whose?

(ticking)

(5秒倒计时）

It is whose with an S-E. (dings)

没错，答案是以S-E结尾的那个单词

This is because whose S-E is a possessive pronoun

因为whose是一个所属格，表示“拥有”

and who's with an apostrophe is a contraction of who is.

而who's 是who和is的缩略形式

Whose bag is that?

这是谁得包？

Number six, I wish I, studied harder!

第六题：

I wish I, studied harder!

I wish I ( ) studied harder

Is it had or is it would have?

括号中填写had还是would have?

(ticking)

(5秒倒计时）

It is had. (dings)

答案是had

I wish I had studied harder!

我希望我可以更努力学习一些

I wish I would have is a common mistake

I wish I would have 是一个常见的错误

made by speakers of American English

通常美国人会这么说

but it's not grammatically correct.

但是这样的表述方式语法结构并不十分准确

Number seven, I think I need to, down and rest.

第七题：

I think I need to, down and rest.

I think I need to ( ) down and rest

It is lay or is it lie?

括号中填lay还是lie?

(ticking)

(5秒倒计时）

It's lie. (dings)

答案是lie

To lie down means to recline

to lie down 意思是 躺平的状态

and to lay down means to establish,

to lay down意味着“建立”

like a rule or something.

比如“立个规矩”

To lay down the law.

“立法”

I need to lie down and rest.

我需要躺下来歇一歇

Number eight, you can stand between Will and.

第八题：

You can stand between Will and.

You can stand between Will and ( )

Is it I or is it me?

括号中填写I 还是me?

(ticking)

(5秒倒计时）

It's me. (dings)

是“me"

A preposition such as between

像between这样的介词

should be followed by an objective pronoun like me, him, us.

应该连着能作宾语的代词，诸如me, him us等

I, she, he, et cetera, are subjective pronouns.

像I, she, he等这样常作主语的单词，一般不和between连用

You can stand between Will and me.

你可以站在我和Will 中间

Number nine, I want, people in my kitchen!

第九题

I want, people in my kitchen!

I want ( ) people in my kitchen!

Is it fewer or is it less?

括号中填写“fewer"还是"less"?

(ticking)

(5秒倒计时）

It's fewer. (dings)

答案是“fewer"

Fewer is correct because people is a plural countable noun.

因为people是一个复数形式的可数名词

I want fewer people in my kitchen!

我想厨房里的人更少一些

And the last one, number ten.

最后一题：

To, were you talking?

To, where you talking?

To ( )were you talking?

Is it who or whom?

括号中是who还是whom?

(ticking)

(5秒倒计时）

It is whom. (dings)

答案是whom

To whom were you talking?

你刚才在和谁讲话

When you use to with who at the beginning of a question,

在一个问题的开头，当你用to和与人相关的定语从句连用的时候

you use whom.

一般用whom指代人
