Question

初中的一些英语问题。

1、At the news, Tom could hardly say a word,_______[do的正确形式]he?
2、——Cathy is reading an English magazine now,isn't she?
——____________.She is busy cleaning the house.[否定回答]

为什么要说 The box is so heavy that nobody in my class can lift it.而不能说The box is very heavy that nobody in my class can lift it.

要解释为什么的。

Answer 1

1.did,反义疑问句，与前面动词could对应，而hardly表示否定，所以用did（肯定）而非didn't
2.No,she isn't.回答前半句。

so ... that ...是固定用法，表示如此之...以至于... 不能用very
