Mr.James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst. Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury, but Mr.Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage, so he has just bought twelve pigeons. Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from Pinhurst to Silbury. The bird covered the distance in three minutes. Up to now, Mr. Scott has send a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other. In this way, he has begun his own private telephone service.

介词

介词 + 名词

英语确实是一个介词友好的语言，介词在英语中扮演着重要的角色，用于连接名词、代词或名词短语与句子的其他部分，表达它们之间的关系。介词可以表示时间、地点、方向、原因、目的、方式等多种关系。了解和掌握介词的使用是精通英语的关键之一。

1. 时间：介绍与时间相关的关系。
   • at (具体时刻，如 at 5 o'clock)
   • on (日期和星期天，如 on Monday, on July 4th)
   • in (较长的时间段，如 in the morning, in 2020)
2. 地点：表达与地点或位置相关的关系。
   • at (具体地点，如 at the door)
   • on (表面上，如 on the table)
   • in (某个范围内，如 in the room)
3. 方向：说明移动的方向。
   • to (向某地，如 go to the school)
   • from (来自某地，如 come from Canada)
   • into (从外向内，如 jump into the pool)
4. 原因、目的和方式：
   • because of (因为，如 because of the rain)
   • for (为了，如 go out for lunch)
   • by (通过某种方式，如 by car)
5. 属于：
   • of (表示属于，如 the door of the car)

例子：

• 定语： This is the answer to the question. 名词后面接介词短语，修饰名词。
• 状语： The meeting was held in the classroom. 状语，held是动词，后面+inxxx就是在句子中做状语；
• 表语： The students are on their way to school. 表语+定语，are 系动词后面+介词做表语，to school修饰way
• 宾补： They found the boy in the room. 主谓宾完整，in the room 修饰整个宾语，所以做宾补。
