· Vocabulary - Grammar

Bên cạnh Hướng dẫn đề thi IELTS 21/11/2020 bài WRITING TASK 1 (map) về school library (kèm bài sửa cho HS đi thi), IELTS TUTOR hướng dẫn kĩ Cách dùng "instead" & "instead of" tiếng anh

1. INSTEAD là adverb (Trạng từ)

Mang nghĩa"thay vì"

=If you do not do something, but do something else instead, you do the second thing and not the first thing, as the result of a choice or a change of behaviour

IELTS TUTOR lưu ý:

  • Thông thường INSTEAD dùng như ADVERB sẽ đứng ở cuối câu một mình (KHÔNG CÓ NOUN Ở PHÍA SAU!)

IELTS TUTOR xét ví dụ:

  • I'm going to drop yoga and do aerobics instead. 
  • Since we had no sugar, we used honey instead (IELTS TUTOR giải thích: vì không có đường, chúng tôi dùng mật để thay thế)
  • How on earth could they knock down a lovely old building like that and put a car park there instead?
  • If we don’t go to Europe this summer, where would you like to go instead (= what other place would you like to go)?
  • There's no coffee - would you like a cup of tea instead?
  • He reached for the glass but did not drink, pushed it, instead, across the table towards Joanna. 
  • The kitchen might have been workable had Nicola kept it tidy; instead it was littered with pots and pans. 
  • I decided to forget about dieting all the time and eat normally instead.

2. INSTEAD OF là phrase (cụm từ)

Mang nghĩa "Thay thế cho ai / cái gì (Thay vì)"

=If you do one thing instead of another, you do the first thing and not the second thing, as the result of a choice or a change of behaviour.

IELTS TUTOR lưu ý:

  • Sau INSTEAD OF là VING / NOUN

IELTS TUTOR xét ví dụ:

  • You can go instead of me, if you want.
  • Instead of complaining, why don't we try to change things?
  • Instead of going out , he stayed at home (IELTS TUTOR giải thích: đáng lẽ phải đi ra ngoài, hắn ta cứ ở xó nhà)
  • I wish you'd spend more time at home instead of going out drinking with your friends every night. 
  • You can make shortbread with margarine instead of butter, but it isn't the same. 
  • You waste a lot of water by having a bath instead of a shower.
  • She had to spend nearly four months away from him that summer, instead of the usual two. 
  • If you slosh in a dessertspoon when asked for a teaspoon you have 63 calories instead of 27. 
  • They raised prices and cut production, instead of cutting costs. 
  • Instead of going to work thinking that it will be totally boring, try to be positive.
