step 7. explain some uses of the words and phrases.

1. peter’s brother中的peter’s是名词所有格形式。名词所有格是用来表示：某人的。。。，某事的。。。。某物的。。。。，表示一种所属关系，构成方法主要可分为两种。

（1）    单数名词：一般在词尾加“s” 如：the boy’s book 男孩的书  the student’s room 学生的房间 

如果单词最后的字母是 “s”, 在词尾加”s” 或 “’”  。

如:engels’s/ engels’ works恩格斯的著作。  

dickens’ novels狄更斯的小说

（2）    复数名词：以 “s” 结尾的复数名词后加 “’” 。

如：the students’ reading room 学生阅览室

the smiths’ house 史密斯家的房子

一些不以“s”结尾的复数名词应在起后加 “s”.

如：children’s readings 儿童读物

    国际劳动妇女节

2．当询问某人是谁时，用疑问代词who 引出特殊疑问句。在这类的疑问句中常用this, that 等指示代词而少用she 或he 等人称代词。

当询问某时诗歌什么样的人时，常用what 引出一个特殊疑问句。句中的like 是介词，表示：象。。。一样的。这种句型与前面所学的look like 的含义不同。 look like 是指某人外在的特征。而be like 是指某人所有的性格以及一些内在的东西。
