1.
more than后面跟名词，意为“不只是，不仅仅是”。例如：
(1)Hibernation is more than sleep. 冬眠不只是睡觉。
(2)Kate was more than a teacher. She also did what she could to take care
of her pupils.
凯特不仅仅是位教师，她还尽其所能照顾她的学生。
2. more than与数词连用，意思是“多于，大于，超过”。例如：
(1)I have known him for more than twenty years. 我认识他已超过二十年了。
(2)More than ten policemen turned up at the spot where the accident

(2)I was more than surprised to see the lion standing at the body. 看到那头狮子站在尸体旁边，我非常惊讶。
4. more than与动词连用，对动词起着加强语气的作用。例如：

subject well. 在英语学习方面的进步激励他学好这门课程。
5. more than和含有情态动词的句子连用，有否定意义，表示“是……难以……”或“超过了……所能”之义。例如：

“情态动词+完成时”是历年高考的热点，在做此类练习时，既需要掌握这一结构的基本用法，又应该仔细体会题干所提供的语言信息，准确理解语言环境和说话人的含义，尤其要注意题干中时态给予的暗示。为了便于同学们学习，现将这种结构的主要用法归纳如下：
1. must have done 表示对已经发生的事情的推测，意为“一定，想必”。这种结构一般只用于肯定句，其否定形式是can’t (couldn’t)have done ，表示“不可能，肯定不会”。例如：
He didn’t hear the phone . He must have been asleep.
他没有听到电话响，他肯定是已经睡着了。
He must have been to Shanghai.
他一定去过上海。
They can’t have gone out , because the light is on .
他们不可能出去，因为灯亮着。
2. can(could)have done表示对过去的时间内可能发生的事情的猜测，can have done 一般只用于否定句和疑问句。could have done 还可以用于肯定句，常用来表示本来可能完成而实际未完成的动作。例如：
He can’t have finished the work so soon.
这项工作他不可能完成得这样快。
We could have walked to the station , it was so near .
我们本来是可以走到车站去的，路很近。
3. may(might)have done 表示对已经发生的事情的不太肯定的推测，意为“可能已经，或许已经”。例如：
If we had taken the other road , we might have arrived earlier.
如果我们选择另一条路，我们可能会到得早一些。
He might have given you more help , he was very busy .
他本来是可以给你更多帮助的，尽管他很忙。
4. needn’t have done 指实际上做了本来不必要做的事，意为“本来不必”。例如：
There was plenty of time . She needn’t have hurried.
时间很充裕，她本不必匆忙。
You needn’t have told him the news.
他本来不必把这个消息告诉他。
5. should (ought to )have done 指本该做而实际未做的事，意为“本来应该”。其否定式shouldn’t(oughtn’t)have done 则表示某种行为不该发生但却发生了。例如：
You should have started earlier , but you didn’t.
你本应该早一点出发，但是你没有。
You ought to have helped him (but you didn’t ). 你本应该帮助他。
We shouldn’t have waited for her because she never came.
我们本不应该等她，因为她根本不会来。
倒装句分为全部倒装和部分倒装。全部倒装即把谓语提到主语之前，部分倒装即把谓语动词中一部分提到主语之前。究其原由，一是语法需要，二是修辞需要。但在实际应用中，特别是在复合句中，学生常常分不清楚是在主句中倒装，还是在从句中倒装。下面就中学英语中的这种现象加以列举。
(一)在主句中倒装
1. not only…but also…连接两个对等成分时
Not only was everything he had taken away from him, but also his German
citizenship.
Not only should we not be afraid of difficulties, but we should overcome them.
2. so…that… 结构中，强调so 所修饰的词时，句子倒装
So loudly did he speak that every one of the class could hear him.
So shallow is the lake that no fish can live in it .
3. hardly (scarcely) …when…,no sooner…than…结构中，强调否定意义的词时
Hardly had I reached the bus stop when the bus started.
No sooner had he arrived home than he was asked to start on another journey.
4. not until位于句首时
Not until all the fish died in the river did the villagers realized how serious
the problem was.
5. 有时为了平衡句子
Gone are the days when we used“foreign oil”.
At last came the day when he was to be thrown to the prison.
(二)在从句中倒装
1. as引导的让步状语从句中倒装
Child as he was, he knows a great deal.
Disabled as Paul was, he went on serving the people.
2. 虚拟语气中，如从句谓语含were, had should，则省去if用倒装
Were I not working, I would be quite willing to do what you ask me to.
Had I known, I might have joined you in the discussion.
3. 介词+关系代词引导的定语从句中
They arrived at a farmhouse, in front of which sat a small boy.
英语中不少介词、连词及其短语，以肯定形式出现却表示否定意义。也就是说，这些词所表示的否定意义是隐藏着的，不易辨明，切不可粗心大意。现归纳如下：
1. prefer A to B“更喜欢A，不喜欢B”。
I prefer noodles to porridge. 我喜欢吃面条，不喜欢喝稀饭。
I prefer walking to running. 我喜欢散步，而不喜欢跑步。
2. rather than“是……，而不；宁愿……不愿”后接动词原形或名词等。
He preferred to do his homework rather than watch TV. 他宁愿做作业也不愿看电视。
3. would rather …than…“宁愿……不愿”，rather和than后面分别都要跟动词原形。
The young man would rather die than give in. 那个年轻人宁愿死也不愿意投降。
4. more…than“与其说……还不如”，more than…“不可能，简直不可能”。
She was more of a nurse than a doctor. 与其说她是医生，还不如说她是一个护士。
He is more brave than wise. 他有勇无谋。
The beauty of the place is more than I can describe. 这个地方的美丽远非我所能描述。
5. A no more…than B “A和B都不……”
He is no more honest than his brother. 他和他弟弟都不诚实。
6. instead of“代替，而不是”。
Instead of crying, each of them made a face. 他们不但没哭，反而做了个鬼脸。
We’ll have tea in the garden instead of in the house. 我们将在花园里喝茶，而不在屋内。
7. warn…against doing sth.…“警告某人不要做某事”，相当于warn sb. not to do
sth.。
The doctor warned him against smoking. 医生告诫他不要抽烟。
They have been warned against killing the animals by the government. 他们已受到政府警告不要猎杀动物。
8. out of “without”之意
out of work 失业
out of patience 不耐烦
out of order 毫无秩序
out of control 无法控制
out of breath 接不上气来
9. far from“远非”相当于not at all 或instead of。
Your work is far from (being) satisfactory. 你的工作一点也不令人满意。
The newspaper accounts are far from being true. 报纸的报道远非事实。
10. but for “要不是……”
But for my brother’s help, I would not have finished the work. = Had it not
been for my brother’s help, I would not have finished the work. 要不是我弟弟的帮助，我不会完成这工作。
But for the storm, we should have arrived earlier. 要是没有遇到暴风雨，我们还会早一些。
11. 连词before引导时间状语从句表否定。
Do it now before you forget. 现在就做，以免忘记了。
Before I could get in a word, he had measured me. 我来不及插话，他就为我量好了尺寸。
12. unless“除非，若不”
I shall return on Thursday unless something unexpected happens. (= I shall
return on Thursday if something unexpected doesn’t happen.)如果不发生意外情况，我将在星期四回来。
