Notes注释

1 Again, notice the past forms of verbs when talking about the past, e.g.: I finished work late / I finished work late; I got home late / I got home late ; I took them to their hotel / I took them to their hotel.

再提醒你一次，当你谈论过去的事情时注意动词的过去式。例如: I finished work late / 我很晚才结束工作； I got home late /我很晚才到家；I took them to their hotel /我把他们送到旅馆。

2 Remember the time phrases, e.g.: late on Friday / late on Friday ; in the evening / in the evening ; on Saturday / on Saturday.

记住时间短语，例如late on Friday /周五很晚的时候； in the evening /在晚上: on Saturday /在周六。

3 Just as . . . / just as . . . means equally / equally, e.g.: Sunday was just as busy as Saturday / Sunday was just as busy as Saturday ; Winter in Beijing is just as cold as winter in Canada / Winter in Beijing is just as cold as winter in Canada.

Just as . . . / 正如 . . . 和equally /同样地意思一样。例如：Sunday was just as busy as Saturday /周日和周六一样忙； Winter in Beijing is just as cold as winter in Canada /北京的冬天和加拿大的冬天一样冷。
