成人高考分为高起专、高起本和专升本三种，无论是哪种提升方式，英语都是必考的科目之一。
掌握成人高考的词汇和语法，是考生作答所有题型的基础。
特别是其中的过去完成、过去进行时，客观真理要用一般现在时等。
1、the manager told us that this factory was built in 1958.
2、by the time we got there， the play had already begun.
3、when i was a child， i knew that the earth turns about its axis.
4、when mr.delay got home after a day’s exhausting work，his wife and children were sleeping.
特别是现在分词与过去分词的区别，要弄明白主动与被动这对最最重要的区别。
1、the film showed last night was very moving. （不用moved，大家别忘了-ed形容词和-ing形容词的区别）
2、having finishing his lecture， the teacher asked if anyone wished to asked a question.
3、the problem being discussed is very important.
4、given more time， we are sure to finish it.
5、will you please make yourself known to everyone here
这也是一个常考点，it本身是没有意思的，注意it还可以指时间，天气等。
1、it is difficult to study english well.
2、we think it is important to pass the exam.
大家要记住的是it is （was）…that…，如果前面是it is was 后面往往选用that，当然强调人的时候也可用who。
1、it was at an evening party that i first saw her.
2、it is what you will do that is important.
3、when was it that he bought a new car.
全部倒装句（考得多的都是下面的部分倒装）。
1、stop talking！there comes the teacher.部分倒装句（如果选项里面有两个主谓倒装了，两个没有，我们一般要在倒装里做选择）。
2、so badly was he hurt in the accident that he had to be sent to hospital.
3、not only does he study well， but also he is always ready to help others.
4、mary has done well in the english exam. so she has. she always does well in the exam.
重要点在定语从句，多看笔记， because since now that as for；so…that…such… that…
1、it was in so friendly a way that he talked with us.
2、oct.15，2005 is a day when we will take our english examination.
3、we want to buy the same book as you are reading.
4、the sun heats the earth， which is very important to living things.
我们要记住与现在，过去，将来相反的三种情况，特别是与过去相反的情况，再有就是wish as if 后面所接的三种情况，还有一个常考点在suggest，demand，require，order等表示建议，要求，命令的词后面加从句时，从句里谓语要用（should） 动词原形，如果是被动则用（should be 动词过去分词）
1、i would have done it better if i had had more time.
2、i wish you would go with us tomorrow.
3、i suggest that we （should ）adopt a different policy.
4、had it not been for your help， we would never have been able to get over the difficulties.
