外研版-英语-八上-外研八上Module4 Planes, ships and知识讲解及练习
Module 4 Planes, ships and trains词汇精讲1. maybemaybe作副词，意为“也许；大概”。
例如：Maybe he is a teacher. 也许他是个老师。
【拓展】辨析：maybe与may be（1）maybe是副词，主要用于非正式场合，口语中常用。
意为“也许，大概”。
它通常放在句子的开头，在句子中作状语。
例如：Maybe they won’t come here tonight. 他们大概今晚不会来这儿。
Maybe she is happy. 也许她是幸福的。
（2）may be是“情态动词may+动词原形be”构成的，在句中做谓语，意为“可能是、大概是”。
例如：She may be at home. 她可能在家。
（也可以说：Maybe she is at home.）You may be right. 你可能是对的。
（也可以说：Maybe you are right.）2. take the bustake在此为及物动词，意为“乘，坐”，其后接交通工具。
例如：take a train乘火车take a bus乘公共汽车take a ship乘船take a plane乘飞机【拓展】其他表示“乘……”的表达方式：(1)用介词短语来表示交通方式，介词短语在句中作状语：1) 用“by + 交通工具名词”表示交通方式。
例如：by bike骑自行车by car乘小汽车by bus乘公共汽车by taxi乘出租车2) 用“by + 交通路线的位置”来表示交通方式。
例如：by water由水路by land从陆路by sea从海路by air乘飞机3) 用“in/on + 冠词/形容词性物主代词/指示代词+ 交通工具名词”表示交通方式。
其中，in多用在car等交通工具之前，而on多用在bike/horse/bus/train/ship等交通工具之前，它们的用法与“by + 交通工具名词”的用法相同。
