Step 5　Language points

1.  Are those your parents?

parents是parent的复数形式，表示父母双亲。parent表示父母双亲中的一员——father或mother。类似的词还有grandparent，意为“祖父(母)；外祖父(母)”。

This is a single parent family.

这是一个单亲家庭。

They are Jack's grandparents.

他们是杰克的(外)祖父母。

2. Have a good day!

Have a good day! (＝Have a nice day！)是一句祝福语，意为“祝你过得愉快”。经常用于谈话或打电话结束时向对方表示祝福，对方常用“You, too.”来回答，意为“也祝你过得愉快”。e.g.

—Have a nice weekend! 祝你周末愉快！

—Thanks. You too. 谢谢！也祝你周末愉快！

—Have a good holiday! 祝你假期愉快！

—Thank you. 谢谢！

3. This is my friend Jane.

(1)This/That is… 这/那是……

“This is…”意为“这是……”(指离说话人较近的人或物)，“That is…”意为“那是……”(指离说话人较远的人或物)，是用来介绍他人的常用句型。当介绍在场第三人时，常用句型“This is…/That is…”，一般不直接说“He is…”或“She is…”。如：

This is my aunt Mary. 这是我的姑姑玛丽。

“This is…”句型还可以用来说明某个事物。如：

This is a nice clock. 这是一个漂亮的钟表。

(2) “Is this/that…？” 意为“这/那是……吗？”是一般疑问句，应用“Yes, he/she is.”或“No, he/she isn't.”来回答。如：

—Is this your grandmother? 这是你的外祖母吗？

—Yes, she is. 是的，她是我的外祖母。
