7、already 等词连用，如果用一般过去时表达则会被视为错误。而在美国英语中，既可以用现在完成时，也可以用一般过去时，并且一般过去时更为常用。例如：英国英语英国英语美国英语美国英语I ve just had lunch.I just had lunch.I ve already read that book.I ve already read that book.Have you washed your hands?Did you wash your hands?Have you finished your homework?Have you finished your homework?2、

8、虚拟语气 在英语语法中，跟在suggest,order,insist,demand 等表示命令、决定、建议的词语后面的that-从句要使用虚拟语气。英国英语使用“should+v.”的形式，而美国英语则倾向于省略should。这个规则同样适用于“It is important（necessary,strange,natural,etc.）that.”和“It is suggested（demanded,requested,proposed,etc.）that”这样的句型中。例如：英国英语 美国英语She suggested that he should quit smoking.She sug

11、Ill be here December.Ill write to him Ill write him.4、集合名词 英语中的集合名词如class,team,committee,family 等，在强调整体的情况下用作单数，在强调个体的情况下用作复数，而在无须特别强调的时候，英国英语习惯于将集合名词视为复数，美国英语则习惯于将它们视为单数。例如：英国英语英国英语美国英语美国英语The team are excited.The team is excited.The government are announcing an important decision.The government is announcing an important decision.谢谢大家！
