使用abroad的几个易错说明
1. 表示“在国外”、“到国外”等，是副词，不是名词，因此不能与 in, to, at 等介词连用；其前也不用冠词。如：
He has gone abroad with his wife. 他已与他妻子出国了。
His son was living abroad. 他儿子当时住在国外。
不能说：go to (the) abroad / live in (the) abroad
注意：abroad 之前虽不能用 in, to 之类的介词，但是却可以用介词 from。如：
He just came back from abroad. 他刚从国外回来。
2. 汉语中的“国内外”，说成是 at home and abroad。如：
He is famous at home and abroad. 他闻名国内外。
The situation both at home and abroad is in our favour. 国内外形势对我们都有利。
3. 由于是副词，不是形容词，所以不能用于名词前作定语。但是，若语义需要，它可置于名词后作定语。如：
My first journey abroad is something I shall never forget. 我第一次出国旅行的情景是我永远不会忘记的。
She used to be terribly shy, but a year abroad has completely transformed her. 她过去十分腼腆，但在国外呆了一年以后完全变了。
比较下面两句abroad与from abroad用作后置定语的区别：
Investments abroad set another record last year. 向国外的投资去年又创新经录。
Investments from abroad set another record last year. 来自国外的投资去年又创新经录。
about与on的用法区别
两者都可表示“关于”，区别是：about 指泛泛地或非正式地谈论某事，其谈论的内容也较为普通；而 on 则指比较有系统地或理论性较强地论述某事，其论述的内容较正式或较严肃。比较：
He wrote on mathematics. 他撰写著作。
He wrote about the school. 他报道有关这所学校的情况。
It is a book on birds 初中学习方法. 那是一本论及鸟类的书。(可能是一本学术著作)
It is a book about birds. 那是一本关于鸟类的书。(可能是一本供小孩看的故事书)

两种完成进行时的用法
一、现在完成进行时
构成：由“have /has been +现在分词”构成。
用法：表示从过去某个时候开始一直延续到现在的动作。强调现在依然在进行 初中英语，并还可能继续延续下去。如：
The Chinese have been making paper for two thousand years. 中国人造纸有2000年了。(2000年前中国人开始造纸，现在中国人还在造纸)
注：有的动词用现在完成时或现在完成进行时没什么差别。如：
We’ve been living here since 1 990.
We’ve lived here since 1990. 从1990年起我们就在这里住了。
但有些静态动词只能用于现在完成时，一般不能用于完成进行时。如：
I’ve known him for many years. 我认识他有许多年了。
二、过去完成进行时
构成：由“had been +现在分词”构成。
He was out of breath. He had been running. 他气喘吁吁，他一直在跑着。

He gave up smoking last year. He’d been smoking for thirty years. 去年他戒烟了。他抽烟已经30年。

【—学习技巧之】对于英语基础知识要做到很好的系统梳理，下面我们来讲解。
基础知识系统梳理
经过两年的时间，对于已经学习过的基础知识，一定会有部分遗忘的情况。所以，中考复习的第一步就应当是依据中考考纲的要求，将之前零散的学习过渡到系统的知识结构归纳，同时查漏补缺，使得对基础知识的掌握更加扎实而有条理。
例如语法部分，根据北京中考考试大纲及历年考试试题，中考语法共有18个高频考点，包括词汇、固定词组搭配、七种时态等重点内容。在这一阶段的复习中，就应当在准确掌握、熟练运用各语法知识点的基础上，按照18个考点的不同特点分别进行知识要点的梳理和归纳，形成知识系统。在此期间，针对薄弱的知识点强化练习，牢固掌握。
相信上面对系统梳理基础知识的已经能很好的掌握了吧，希望同学们在考试中取得优异成绩。
