"either"and"too","if"and "whether"

He has no green pen,I has no too.(ERROR!)->

He has no green pen,I has no either.

There are several places where cann't use 'if' instead of 'whether':

1.before infinitives:

  The question is whether to go or stay.

2.after prepositions:

  It depends on whether he's ready or not.

3.after noun:

  It's your decision whether you go or stay.

4.with "or not" in sentences like this:

  I asked him whether or not he is a doctor.

Finished PRE-TEST UNIT 2 of NCE

The same mistake always happens again and again for me in learning english.

1.Present tense can express an action always happens,but express an action always happened in the past time should use Past tense except in the direct speech which person said that in the past time;

2.The position of adverb to express frequency:

1)He always does this.

2)He must always does this.

the usage of 'except'

If "except" is at beginning of the sentence,"except for" is used,it is equal to "apart from".

i.e.

Except for/Apart from this thing,everything else is good.

All students go to cinema except John.

"must" and "may,might"

He looks very sadly,he must have gotten a bad score at last test.(express the deduction from known facts);

He may have gotten a bad score at last test.(express the possibility or conjecture)

If it is a logical reasoning then the word-'must' is used,or if it is a subjective guess then the word-'may' or 'might' is used.'May' express a stronger possibility than 'might'.

NCE L19:can,could,may,might

1.request permission;

polite:can(friends and equals)<could,may<might(superior)

2.may/might + infinitive

  may/might + perfect infinitive

3.may/might as well + infinitive

  for example:

  I might as well play game( as learn english-it makes no difference).
