The four questions describe the contents of the four questions are very simple, they are all related to opening and closing the door. They examine the usage of the two words open and close.
Open has two parts of speech related to this explanation, adjective and verb.
The basic definition of the adjective open is "open, open", which means the state of "open".
So, in the first question, choose C,
means: the door is open, there must be someone in the house.
The basic definition of the verb open is "open", which means the action of "open".
So, the answer to question 2 is A, opened is the past participle of the verb open, and this question uses passive voice.
means:
—— It’s so cold! What happened?
—— The door was opened by dad.
Close There are also two parts of speech related to this explanation, adjective and verb.
The basic definition of the adjective close is "close, close" (no closed meaning). To mean "close", you need to use another word, closed, that is, the adjective derived from the past participle of the verb close.
So, the third question chooses C, which means: the door is closed and the employees are having a meeting.
The basic definition of the verb close is "close", which means the action of "close".
So, in question 4, choose A, which is an imperative sentence, which means: close the door, it’s too windy outside.
In order to explain these two words, I drew a picture for my classmates during the class:
There are three states A, B, C of a door in the picture.
A: closed (closed)
B: open (open)
C : closed (closed)
C : closed (closed)
This door needs to go through from state A to state B is open (open), and
from state B to state C is close (closed). When I was teaching
, in order to save time, I didn’t use a ruler. The door I drew was ugly than in the picture, and the children were ridiculed for being too weak in the painter.
I think about it. In order to let them master the usage of these two words, just smile!
