1.wait a minute ,wait for a short time ,wait a

1.wait a minute ,wait for a short time ,wait a
moment,wait for a while,wait for sb.为什么这些短语中有的用 wait for有的用wait?
2.do you know who made them?it is me.请问能用who to表达吗:do you know who to made them?为什么这句就用了who to .如:do you know how to spell this word?
3.do you think who your best friend is who do you think is your best friend?请问这两种表达,一个是 who 在中间,一个是 who 在句首,都对吧.如果都对,那为什么会有这样的表达:who do you think you are?同样是who 在句首为什么后面是陈述句的语序,而不是疑问句的语序?who do you think you are 和do you think who you are?这两种表达都对吗?有什么区别呢?
4.where did you go during your stay in Hong Kong?where have you been during the winter holiday ,Millie?请问这两个句的意思差不多,为什么时态不一样呢?
5.i have been to NewYork,also called "the Big Apple" three time.译这个句子,另,请问这个句子是不是不完整?完整的表达应该这样吧:
.i have been to NewYork,also have beento called "the Big Apple" three time.还有这句话表达的是到过NewYork三次,还是到过the Big Apple三次?期盼老师不放过题目中包含的小问题.

1,wait 是不及物动词,若语境是‘等待’的话,则要用for 在宾语之前.至於要等(等了)多少时间,时间则大多不用介词,实际上,‘人不是在等时间﹐而是花多少时间在等别人或某事’,所以当只是说‘等了2小时’英文的表示是﹕Sb waited two hours.也有人会说成
Sb waited for two hours.也不算错.至於wait a minute,是日常的固定表达,意思是‘等一等’,不用加for.
2.这两句话完全不一样,who made them 是一个完整的从句,how to spell this word是用不定式代替了从句,两种方式不可混用.how to spell this word也可说成how we spell this word.但who made them没有不定式的等价形式,因为who在从句中做主语,how做状语.
3.do you think who your best friend is?是非常僵硬的中式英语,因为这是用一般疑问句来做特殊疑问句的提问,是不能这样说的.Who do you think your best friend is?也是不对的,因为do you think在这些例子中都是插入语,是不影响原句语序的,也就是说去掉do you think,句子也是完整正确的语序.正确说法是Who do you think is your best friend?另一个例子同理.
4.一般过去时表示过去某个时间发生的事、存在的状态或经常发生的动作.说话的侧重点只在于陈述一件过去的事情,不强调对“现在”产生的影响.现在完成时表示动作发生在过去,对现在造成了影响或产生了结果.不与确定的过去时间状语连用.一般过去时通常与表示过去的时间状语连用.如：yesterday,last week,two years ago,just now,in 2002等；而现在完成时则常与just,already,ever,never等副词和these days,this week,since...,for...表示一段时间的状语连用.在你举的两个例子里含义差别其实不大,所以两种时态都可以,你也可以说Where did you go during the winter holiday?
5.also called "the Big Apple"是个伴随状语,修饰New York,只是说明纽约被称作“The Big Apple”而已,the Big Apple 就是New York.这句的宾语就是New York,肯定是到过New York,“i have been to NewYork,also have beento called "the Big Apple" three time.”这句话中also have beento called "the Big Apple"语法结构是错误的,只有名词或者代词能做宾语,这是最基础的主宾谓,千万不要错.另外三次是three times.
