语法一、 It is ＋形容词＋ of +sb+ (not)to

do sth.

表达我们对某人行为的判断，其中形容词常为描述人物性格特征的形容词例如：

good kind nice

clever right careful

rude polite foolish

silly creative careless

wrong selfish humorous honest generous wise

It is ＋形容词＋ of +sb+ (not)to do sth.

难点：

It is ＋形容词＋ of sb to do sth. It is ＋形容词＋ for sb to do sth. 如何区别？

★ 首先 ,两者使用的形容不同，… for sb. 的句型通常使用表示客观情况的形容词，… of sb. 的句型一般用表示主观感情、人物性格的形容词。如：

It is hard for him to drive the car. It is careless of the girl to leave her bag

on the taxi.

★ 其次，… of sb. 句型一般都可以转换成带一个不定式作状语的句子，而… for sb. 的句型则不可以这样转换。如： It was very kind of you to help me.

→You were very kind to help me.

1.It is nice of you to bring me the newspaper.

2.It is implite of Tom not to say hello to his friends.

Change the sentences:

You are nice to bring me the newspaper.

Tom is impolite not to say hello tohis friends.

语法 主语＋ be ＋形容词＋ enough ＋ to do sth.

这个句型用来描述主语的人品和 能力 . 表示“某人在某方面已经能够达

friends easily.

1. Jacky Chan is strong enough to fight ten men.

2.Yao Ming is tall enough to touch the basket.

3. Superman is brave enough to help everybody.
