【Key structures】　

The resent simple and present continuous 现在进行时和一般现在时

Actions which are in progress at the moment of speaking are expressed by the present
continuous:
It's raining (at this moment).
I'm still having breakfast.

Regular or habitual actions are expressed by the simple present:

He rarely gets up before ten o'clock.
We frequently have lunch at this restaurant.

Note the position of adverbs of frequency (always, ever, never, sometimes, etc .):
·after be:
Tea is always at four o'clock.
Is tea always at four o'clock?
·before a main verb:
He often gets up late.
·after auxiliary verbs: (do, does, will, shall, have, had, has, must, can, may)
He doesn't always come by train.
Do you always get up so late?
He has seldom been to see me.
I could never find the place.

【Special Difficulties】
以 what 开头的感叹句：
在英语中可用 what 引导的感叹句来表示惊奇、愤怒、赞赏、喜悦等感情，在感叹中主
谓语采用正常语序。
What 对名词感叹，感叹句的结构为：What +a/an (+adj.)+n.(+主语+谓语)!
What a good girl (she is)! （主、谓可省）
