我有个问题要问风先生
刚才在字典看到这个
used to say exactly where something or someone is, or where something happens:
例句
They live at 18 Victoria Street.
为什么这里用at?

arrive 是【不及物动词】，后面不能有【宾语/Object】，比较：
reach 是【及物动词】，后面须有【宾语/Object】： reach Kuala Lumpur

不是很明白。什么是不及物动词和及物动词？要怎样看？

For better grammar
那我是不是必须要记住所有动词的类别 [及物/不及物]?

几乎所有动词都是及物或不及物动词

不及物动词后面不跟一个object
Something’s happening.
I’ll wait.
It doesn’t matter.

你可以加一些字以提供更多资料
但这些字不一定要在那里以让句子有意思
Something’s happening in the street.
I’ll wait for a few minutes.
It doesn’t matter at all.

其他不及物动词包括appear, come, go, smile, lie, rise
不及物动词不能用于被动式

及物动词后面跟一个object
没有了这个object句子会不合理
She bought that dress in Tokyo. 不是 She bought in Tokyo.
Did you find the key? 不是 Did you find?
I really like him. 不是 I really like.

其他及物动词包括make, use, need, thank, enjoy, keep, carry

有些动词可以是及物也可以是不及物
There’s no need to shout. [Intransitive]
Someone shouted my name. [Transitive]

Where do you want to meet? [Intransitive]
I’ll meet you outside the school. [Transitive]

I’m sorry. I don’t understand. [Intransitive]
She didn’t understand his explanation. [Transitive]

有些动词跟形容词
You seem tired.
It all sounds very interesting.
Was he angry?

其实多看书就能记住

不及物就不会
我在上面解释了

    谢谢。现在了解多了，但还是觉得很难。

有点难度, 我试下...
1. My father prefers driving to travelling by train.
2. Every seat in the theatre was taken up.
3. I don't have as many friends as you do.
4. Jack can't cook. He can't even boil an egg.
潇湘夜雨 发表于 7-1-2010 09:28 PM

除了第2，其他的全部正确...
1.  prefer ... to ... / by train, by bus, by car... 没有 the
3.  I don't ... you do 【辅助动词】要一致
4.  even 是【副词】，【副词】的正确位置之一是：
    【辅助动词】+【副词】+【动词】
    She can't even sing.
    I can also play the piano.   很多本地人都说： I also can ...
    He has already left.

第 2 ?

(3) I met Nancy at Tom's house.

's 的用法：
说到商店时：
a hairdresser's = 理发店
a butcher's = 肉铺
a barber's = 理发店
a greengrocer's = 果蔬店     
There is a butcher's near here.  (不要说 a butcher's shop)
My mother is at the hairdresser's.
I bought these fresh vegetables at the greengrocer's.

说到人们的家宅（有主人与客人的关系）
Did you have a wonderful evening at Tom and Helen's?

(5) When have you arrived in Kuala Lumpur?
可不可以呢?

不可以，
you have arrived 针对的时间是现在（现在式have），含义是： “现在，你已经到达了”，“到达了与否”所依据的时间是现在。
而你问的是动作(arrive)发生的时间是在过去，问过去的时间，用过去时态：
When did you arrive in Kuala Lumpur？

(6) I've reached home.
(7) I reached home.

两句所叙述的可以是同一件事。
(6) 的重点是结果： 现在，到家了，重点是人已经在家了吗？
(7) 只是在叙述过去发生的一件事： （例：五分钟前）我 到家。

例如我说： I have done my homework.
我的重点是家庭作业已完成了，什么时候做的并不重要，重要的是结果：我做完了...可以去玩了...可以交给老师了。
如果我说： I did my homework this morning.
只是在述说我早上做的一件事情。

但，英美式英语的语法，在这一方面有些分别：
英国人习惯用【现在完成时态】和 just, already 等来表达最近做过的一些事情，
有些美国人会偏向使用【过去一般时态】来表达，（但这是近代才有的现象，英式的还是很多美国人在用），如
英： I’ve just arrived home. 【现在完成时态/present perfect】
美： I just arrived home. 【过去一般时态/simple past】
英： I've already eaten breakfast. 【现在完成时态/present perfect】
美： I already ate breakfast. 【过去一般时态/simple past】

我有个问题要问风先生

为什么这里用at?
潇湘夜雨 发表于 7-1-2010 11:38 PM

因为有说出门牌18号，
at 通常用来表达一个地点，地址就是一个地点； in 用来表达一个地区，一个范围内，所以我们说：
at the airport, at the supermarket, at the mall 是指这些地点。
如果你要表达的是这些地方的范围内，可以说：
in the airport, in the supermarket, in the mall

如果有注意的话，不难发现很多有数字的东西都用 at :
at 6.30
at 13, Jalan Pisang
at 80 km/h
at the age of 19
at 100° C
at an altitude of 20 km  (高度）

其实不难，每一种语言都有及物和不及物动词，不是英文专有，

如果我说，昨天有人杀死...
你会问，杀死什么？你自然会知道那个句子还没完成，“杀”这个【动词】需要一个【宾语】，也就是一个及物动词
我得继续说下去，句子才会完整： 昨天有人杀死一只蚂蚁。 蚂蚁就是【宾语】

对，我们说：

Is this seat taken?
没有 up
take up 是占据（时间或空间）
