教师集中指导：

1.Hardly 和 ever本身含有否定意义，句中有了它，谓语动词要用肯定形式。

2.On weekends在周末（Saturday和 Sunday）

Weekdays指工作日，一般指星期一至星期五即（from Monday to Friday）

3.How often 多久一次，多长时间一次，是用来提问频率的短语。

How many times表示"多少次"，其答语为：once、twice、three times等。

Eg：--How many times do you watch TV every week?

Three times.

5.Twice a week 一周两次

英语中"次数"的表示方式：

Once 一次 twice 两次；

三次以上，都是用"基数词+ times"来表示。

表示次数要注意，time后面加s；

Three times 是三次，twelve times12次；

两次特殊记，once and twice。

本课时我们学习的主要语法点是由 wh- 和 how 引导的特殊疑问句以及对应的答语。
