Grammar Relief (part 4 of 5)
減輕學文法重擔 (五段中的第四段)
A word to the wise: Don't throw your hands up in despair when correct grammar is not logical. It often isn't! Present-tense verbs can refer to future action: Before she leaves, she will finish the exam. And why do we count suitcases, but not luggage? Don't ask!
You can often work on grammar without a teacher. Photocopy a magazine page and black out the verb endings or articles, such as a, an or the. Can you rewrite them correctly a few days later?
給聰明人一個建議：當正確文法不合邏輯時，仍然不要放棄學習。文法常常不遵循邏輯。有時現在式動詞可以指未來的動作：她會將考試寫完才離開。也不要問我為什麼行李箱（suitcases）是可數的，而行李（luggage）是不可數的。學習文法常常可以不需要老師。影印一頁雜誌內容，將動詞結尾或冠詞，如 a，an，the 塗黑。幾天後，你可以正確地填入塗黑的字嗎？
