Unit 8 When is your birthday?知识点一：年月日的表达法①年的读法：用基数词，两位一读1998 读作 nineteen ninety-eight②月份名称的首字母要大写months: 月份：January 一月 February二月 March三月 April四月 May五月 June 六月 July七月 August八月 September九月 October十月 November十一月 December十二月注意; 月份的缩写为每个月份的前三个字母（除九月Sept.外）③日期：用序数词表示，前面可加the ,也可省略，但读要读出the基数词变序数词口诀：基变序，有规律，尾部要加-th。
一、二、三，特殊记，结尾字母t, d, d （one----first, two---second, three---third）八去t，九去e，ve要用f替（eight—eighth, nine—ninth, five—fifth, twelve—twelfth）y要改为ie (twenty—twentieth, thirty—thirtieth) 若是碰上几十几，只变个位就可以(twenty-one---twenty-first, thirty-four—thirty-fourth)注意; 序数词的缩写为：数字+后两个字母。
如： first( 1st ), third ( 3rd) , fourteenth (14th)④年、月、日在英语中的顺序是月、日、年 on January 1st ,2012练习：用括号里的词的正确形式填空1. May is the (5) month of the year.2. Today is the (20) birthday of Erik.3. Today is February (12), 2007.4. I have (40) books.知识点二：表示时间的介词in(年) in 2012 ,in (月) in Januaryon(具体月日) on January 1stat (几点钟) at 8:00练习：介词in at on 填空1. He was born(出生) 1987.2. The students go there Match 12th.3. They often have lunch 12:12.知识点三：名词所有格在英语中，当我们表达“我的”“你的”“他的”时，用代词my, your, his等。
如果要表示“某个（些）人的”时，可以在某个（些）人后加’s来表示所有关系，这种形式我们称为所有格。
如Mike的父亲：Mike’s father, 我妈妈的名字：my mother’s name构成：1)单数名词加’s. 2)以s结尾的复数名词加’读音不变。
如the teachers’room(老师们的房间)表共同所有，在最后一个名词后加“’s”。
Jim and Tom’s mother 吉姆和汤姆的母亲（共同所有）表各自所有，在每个名词后加“’s”Jim’s room and Tom’s room are both big. 吉姆的房间和汤姆的房间都很大。
（各自所有）练习：1. The (child) books are interesting.2. This is the (teacher) room.3. ( Tom and Jim ) mother is a teacher.4. ( Tom and Jim ) mothers are all teachers.知识点四：特殊疑问句1、when 什么时候针对时间提问——When is one’s birthday ? 某人的生日是什么时候？——It's on + 月+日。
是在.....月......日。
例如;When is your birthday?My birthday is on January 5th / It’s on January 5th2、问年龄用how old +be + 主语？答：主语 + be + 基数词（years old）例如: 1)How old are you? I’m fifteen(years old)你多大了？我15岁。
2）How old is the baby? He is 10 months old.这个婴儿多大了？他10个月大。
