◎ 神話人物這麼說(中英對照): 主題+文法的兩大結合,學習文法不枯燥: 【九位謬思女神的職責】代詞與虛詞 ‧讀神話故事:有些謬思掌管藝術,有的則主司科學。 ‧神話人物說了什麼:Apollo: Each Muse has her duty. For example, Cilo is the goddess of history.(阿波羅:每位謬思都有她的職責,例如克莉俄就是掌管歷史的女神。)
◎ 看神話人物說什麼,搭配圖解學習,文法一看就懂: ‧ 代詞最主要的功用就是代替名詞,避免句子冗長。虛詞則視本身沒有具體意涵但有文法作用的詞彙。以上句為例,Each Muse has her duty. For example, Cilo is the goddess of history 中的 her 就是代詞,代替了前文已經出現的 each muse,而 each 與 the 則為虛詞,具有文法作用,但沒有具體語意。
