Question

The teacher asked the children to write on _____ line but Tom just wrote very carelessly _____ lines.

 A. other every; few every B. other every; every a few

 C. every other; every few D. every other; every a few

Answer 1

C

解析:

表示“每隔一行”用every two lines, every other line, every second line，“每隔幾行”every few lines。因此表示“每隔”用every +基數(shù)詞+復(fù)數(shù)名詞，every +序數(shù)詞+單數(shù)名詞，every other +單數(shù)名詞，every few +復(fù)數(shù)名詞，注意few前不用a，類似的有first few…, last few…等，如There is a tree every few meters along the street.
