英文字一問,Thank you!

1）Vaccine 就是疫苗 Vaccination 就是種疫苗的過程

2） Tender 就是（a）温柔（b)柔軟
Example: I like my steak tender and juicy. （我喜歡柔軟多汁的牛扒）
Example: Love me tender love me true （猫王名曲）

3）對，最好查字典，建議Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary.

4）要，大部分最后有字母'y'的可数(countable)名詞轉衆数時都要轉，還有當 'y' 後加 'er' and 'est' 時都要加。

5）Elderly 很少用 plural 的，通常用 elders.

4. Usually words that end with -y are changed into -ies, as 002 said: spy becomes spies. Most of the time this is true. However, when the letter before y is also a vowel, like 'boy', -y remains unchanged, so boy becomes boys. For example: toys, obeys (verb), trays.

002 seems confused using 'as'. Consult a dictionary for better explanations.

2)Tender = 溫柔

3)As,eg

As+phrase.sent (錯)
例 phrase = a big fish in a little pond
a big fish in a little pond = 大池中的小魚 = 庸人中的天才
(錯)As a big fish in a little pond,i am not as brilliant as you thought.
(對)As of a big fish in a little pond,i am not as brilliant as you thought.
(對)As of the theroy/phrase of a big in a little pond, i am not as brilliant as you thought.
Sent+as+sent (對)
例 SENT 1 = the weather today is fine
SENT 2 = the weather yesterday was fine
可以有幾個意思:
a)The weather today is fine as the weather yesterday eas fine.
今天的天氣很好因為昨天的天氣很好.(似乎不太合理)
b)The weather today is as fine as yesterday's.
今天的天氣像昨天的天氣一樣好.
4)Company
原形:company
複數:companies
例:
supply> supplies
spy > spies
fry > fries
fly > flies
5)用are
elderly 轉眾數時沒有s
elderly 是 adj
但adj有像名詞一樣的作用
eg
The rich are not as happy as the poor.(*adj不用複數)
富有的沒有貧窮的那樣快樂.
而以上的poor,rich跟elderly一樣.
