1.make a promise
該動詞短語意為“允諾”，其中的promise為名詞，與它搭配的詞組還有keep one’s promise(守信)等。如：

Promise 也可是動詞（vt.& vi.）意為“允諾”，“答應”。
所用動詞句型為：
promise to do sth(不定式作賓語)
promise sb. to do sth.（后接雙賓語）
promise (sb)that – clause
(that-clause為賓語從句)
如：①He promises me to buy a bike for my birthday gift.
②He promises me that he will buy a bike for my birthday gift.
2.pretend to be a lawyer
該結構中pretend 意為“裝扮”，“裝假”，后跟不定式或賓語從句 。其中不定式（有時態變化）是試題中的重點考查形式。如：

The size of the meeting-room is three times that of our office.
7.when you show none
此句中掌握的重點是when的用法，現分述如下：

me?
②when意為“當……的時候”，“在……時”，引導時間狀語從句。
③when是并列連詞（=and then）意為“就在這/那時”，連接兩個句子。如：We are about to go to city when it is raining.
8.so young a body
說明：在一個帶有形容詞的名詞詞組中，不定冠詞a/an 通常放在adj.的前面。但是，如果adj.前有so, too, how,quite時，a/an應放 adj.的后面。其結構是：so/too/how/quite+adj.+a/an +n.。如：

make love to sb .向某人示愛
12.on one condition
該介詞短語意為“規定一個條件”。如：

Saturday morning.
