読書一口メモ

『宮崎尊の入試英語スーパーマニュアル』（旺文社 1991年）には、「基本英文１００」があり、先日、ご紹介したところですが、続いて「入試頻出構文ＴＯＰ２０」というのがあります。

「基本英文１００」と同じ構文も多数含まれていますので、この点は、「基本英文１００」の復習と考えておけばよいでしょう。ただ、「基本英文１００」で紹介されていない構文もありますので、これで基本英文が網羅されたといえるでしょう。

ある意味、入試で問われる事柄は、我々が間違えやすいところであったり、最低限押さえておくべき点であったりするわけで、入試で問われやすい構文をマスターしておけば、英語をスムーズに読むことができる可能性が高くなります。

では、「入試頻出構文ＴＯＰ２０」の基本英文を確認してみましょうか。
