## 三、语法知识点

### had better 最好

**构成**：had better + 动词原形

| 句型 | 结构 | 例句 |
|------|------|------|
| 肯定句 | had better + do | We had better go back now. |
| 否定句 | had better not + do | You'd better not be late. |
| 疑问句 | Hadn't + 主语 + better + do? | Hadn't we better leave now? |

**缩写**：had better = 'd better — We'd better go.

**注意**：
- had better 虽然含有 had（过去式），但表示的是现在或将来的建议
- 语气比 should 更强烈，暗示"如果不这样做会有不好的后果"

### 时间表达法

| 表达 | 含义 | 表达 | 含义 |
|------|------|------|------|
| eight nineteen | 8:19 | nineteen minutes past eight | 8点过19分 |
| three minutes to eight | 差3分8点 | five hours' time | 5小时后 |

### in + 时间段

- **In five hours' time** = 5小时之后
- in + 时间段 → 用于将来时，表示"……之后"
