(4)during后必须跟一个名词，可以指整个一段时间。它有时可以用in替代：

　　It was very hot during the summer.

　　那年夏天很热。

　　He has phoned four times during the last half hour.

　　在这半小时内他打了4次电话。

　　但在下面的例句中则不可用in替代during:

　　I met him sometime during the week.

　　我是在这一周的某天遇见他的。

　　During the whole winter it never snowed.

　　整个冬季一直没下雪。

　　(5)from…till…指一段明确的时间：

　　The tourist season runs from June till October.

　　旅游季节从6月一直到10月。

　　(6)当所用动词只表示一个短暂的动作(如finish, leave)时，则只能在否定句中用till/ until:

　　I won't leave till/ until Monday.

　　我要到星期一才离开。

　　2.否定句的两种形式：not any与 no

　　对于一般疑问句，可以有两种否定的回答：

　　否定词no比not any的语气要强，但这两种否定的意义是相同的。no可构成复合词nobody, none, nothing, nowhere; any可构成复合词anybody, anything和anywhere:

　　在一个句子中通常只能有一个否定词(包括never, hardly等词)：

　　而除黑人英语外一般不说：* I can't get no eggs.*
