四.有关词汇辨析
1.very 和much
A)very修饰形容词、副词的原级;much修饰比较级;修饰动词用much或very much ,
eg. I very like English.,因改为:I like English very much.
B) 表示状况的过去分词前用very。a very frightened boy, a very tired child .普通的状况下,以-ed结尾的分词多用much、very much / greatly等修饰。
如:We were greatly /much shocked by the news about Tom..
C) 已转化为形容词的目前分词前用very。 如:very interesting / worrying / exciting
D)too前用much/ far ,不需要very。 You are much / far / a lot too nice.
另外,在too many / much, too few / little前用far。
We’ve got far too many eggs and far too few egg cups.
E)还有修饰词既不需要very,也不需要much. eg: be well worth doing, be well above the tree
2. so和such
A)so … that … 与such … that … 有什么区别。
so + 形容词 / 副词 + that …
so + 形容词 + a(n)+ 单数可数名词 + that …
so + many / much / little / few + 名词 + that …
such + a+ 形容词+单数可数名词 + that …
such + 形容词 + 不可数名词 + that …
such + 形容词 + 复数名词 + that …
注意: 但当little表示“小”时用such。
如:These are such little boys that they can’t dress t hemselves.
下列so的使用方法是不对的: so a difficult problem, so difficult problems, so hot weather。
B) some/ any/ every/ no/ each/ all/ another/ several/ few/ many/ one/ two +such+n. eg. no such word
3. be too much + n.
be much too+ adj.
be too much for sb. 对…太过分了
4. can’t be too +adj.= can’t be +adj.+ enough “无论…都不为过”
You can never be careful enough.= You can never be too careful.你越小心越好。
条件状语从句
一.条件状语从句的定义
条件状语从句,即在某种条件下,一件事情可能发生。在英语中由连接词if或unless等引导的状语从句叫做条件状语从句。条件是指某一件事情达成之后(状语从句中),一件事情(主句)才能发生,一般译作“倘若,只须,假如”等意思。条件状语从句中,主从句的时态要遵循“主将从现”的原则。即,主句是以后时态时,从句用一般目前年代替以后时态。
2、条件状语从句的引导词
1.If conj . 假如,倘若
If you ask him,he will help you.假如你请他帮忙,他会助你的。
If you fail in the exam,you will let him down.假如你考试不及格,你会让他失望的。
2.unless conj.除非,若不,除非在……的时候 (if ...not...)
You will fail to arrive there in time unless you start earlier.
假如你不早点动身,你就不可以准时赶到那儿。
Unless it rains, the game will be played.除非下雨,比赛将照常进行。
3.so/as long as conj.只须
You may borrow my book as long as you keep it clean.
只须你维持书的清洗,你就能把我的书借去。
三.关于条件句的时态,容易见到的有以下三种状况:
1、条件状语从句的主句是一般以后时,那样从句常常用一般目前时。
When I grow up, I’ll be a nurse and look after patients. 我长大后要当一名护士,照顾患者。
2、假如主句是祈使句,那样从句一般要用一般目前时。
If you want to have a chat ,call me up.假如你想聊天,打我电话。
3、假如主句是含有情态动词时,依据需要从句多用一般目前时。
You should be quiet when you are in the reading room. 在阅览室时应维持安静。
四.常识拓展
1在以when,before,as soon as等引导的时间状语从句,也适用“主将从现”原则,即假如主句是一般以后时,从句则用一般目前时。
I'll tell her the good news when she comes back.当她回来的时候,我将把这个好消息告诉她。
she will give you a call as soon as she returns.她一回来就会给你电话。
2.If条件句的同义句:祈使句,and /or+以后时态的陈述句。
Work hard ,and you will make great progress.=If you work hard,you will make great progress.
假如你好好学习,你才会获得大的进步。
Hurry up, or you will be late.=If you don’t hurry up.you will be late.
假如你不快点,你就要迟到了。
动词不定式和动名词的句法功能比较
1、作主语
⒈不定式作主语
动词不定式作主语时,句子的谓语动词常用单数,其地方有以下两种:
把不定式置于句首。如:
To get there by bike will take us half an hour.
用it作形式主语,把真的的主语不定式置于句后,常用于下列句式中。如:
①It+be+名词+to do
It's our duty to take good care of the old.
②It takes sb+some time+to do
How long did it take you to finish the work?
③It+be+形容词+for sb+to do
It is difficult for us to finish writing the compositionin a quarter of an hour.
④It+be+形容词+of sb+to do
It is stupid of you to write down everything the teachersays.
⑤It seems+形容词+to do
It seemed impossible to save money.
在句型③中,常用表示客观状况的形容词,如:difficult,easy,hard,important,impossible,necessary 等;在句型④中,常用careless,clever,good,foolish,honest,kind,lazy,nice,right,silly,stupid,wise等 表示赞扬或批评的词。在不定式前的sb,可看作其逻辑主语。这一句式有时等于Sb is+形容词+to do句式 ,如:It'skind of you to help me with my English.=You are kind to helpme with my English.
⒉动名词作主语
Learning without practice is no good.
动名词作主语时,也常用It句式。如:
①It's +no good+doing…
It's no good reading in dim light.
It's no use sitting here waiting.
②It's+形容词+doing
It's dangerous swimming in the sea in windy days.
如此用的形容词有expensive,nice,tiring等,但important,necessary则不适用于这种结构,应用不定式 代替,如:It'simportant for you to keep fit.
③There is no+doing
There is no saying what will happen next.
在这一结构中,动名词后常带宾语,等于"It's impossible to…"结构。
⒊动词不定式和动名词作主语有什么区别
①不定式作主语常常表示具体动作,常与特定的动作实行者联系在一块;而动名词作主语常常表示抽象动 作,常常不与特定的动作实行者联系在一块。如:
It's no good eating too much fat.
It's no good for you to eat so much fat.
②动名词结构作主语,可以用名词或代词属格形式作逻辑主语。如:
It's no use your pretending that you didn't know the rules.
2、作宾语
⒈不定式作宾语
①以下动词后,只能跟不定式作宾语。如:agree,ask,aim,arrange,choose,decide,demand,expect,fail ,help,hope,lean,long,
manage,offer,plan,prepare,pretend,promise,refuse,wish等,这类词大多数可接th at引导的从句。如:
I decided to ask for my money back.
I decided that I would ask for my money back.
When our visit to the farm was over,we expected to startback on foot.
When our visit to the farm was over, we expected that wewould start back on foot.
②当复合宾语中的宾语是不定式时,先用形式宾语it代替不定式,把不定式置于补语之后,即:主语+动 词+it+补语+to do句式。如:
We think it quite important for us to learn a foreignlanguage well.
He feels it his duty to help the poor.
③介词but,except,besides+to do
在这种句型中,如介词前有动词do,后面应接不带to的不定式;如无do,则接to不定式,即带do不带to, 带to不带do。如:
The enemy soldiers had no choice but to give in.
On Sunday afternoon I had nothing to do but watch TV.
⒉动名词作宾语
①以下动词后,只能接动名词作宾语,如:admit,appreciate,consider,delay,enjoy,finish,keep,imag ine,mind,miss,practise,resist,risk,save,suggest,don't mind,give up,insist,on, put off等。如:
I suggest spending our summer vacation in a seaside town.
You must give up smoking, for it does too much harm toyour health.
②动名词作介词的宾语
I should go to attend the birthday celebration instead of staying at home.
What about inviting Li Jun to make a speech?
动名词前的介词有时可以省略,如:have difficultydoing,have no troubledoing,lose no ti medoing,prevent/sTOP…doing,there is no usedoing等。
⒊部分动词后面,既可接动词不定式,也可接动名词作宾语,意义不变。如:begin,continue,start,hat e,like,love,need,require,want等。
在need,require,want后接-ing形式,表示被动意义,也可接不定式,但要用被动形式,如:Your handwr iting needs improving. hate,love,like接不定式表示特定的将来事件,接动名词表示现在 正在进行的活动或普通的行为。
在下列状况下,一般要用不定式:
①hate,like,love前有would时,如:I'd like to have a cup of coffee.
②当谓语动词begin,continue,start等是进行式时,如:Thestudents are starting to work on the di fficult maths problem.
③begin,continue,start与know,understand等状况动词连用时,如:I soon began to understand what
was happening.
⒋advise,allow,encourage,forbid,permit等动词后接动名词作宾语,或带不定式作宾语补足语。如:
Our teachers don't permit our swimming in the lake.
Our teachers don't permit us to swim in the lake.
⒌部分动词后接不定式或动名词时,意义差别较大,应依据句子语境选择用。
①forget,remember,regret后接不定式,表示目前或将来的动作,接动名词表示动作已经发生。如:
Don't forget fo post the letter for me.
Have you forgotten meeting her in Beijing Airport?
Remember to close the windows before you leave.
I remember writing him a letter a year ago.
We regret to tell you that all of you are not invited toattend the meeting.
They regretted ordering these books from abroad.
②mean to do 计划做某事
doing 意味着……
I meant to catch up with the early bus.
This means wasting a lot of money.
③try to do 设法尽力做某事
doing 试着做某事
You should try to overcome your shortcomings.
Try working out the physics problem in another way.
④sTOP to do 停下一件事去做另一件事(不定式作目的状语)
doing 停止做某事
On the way to the airport,I sTOPped to buy a paper.
You'd better sTOP arguing and do as you are told.
⑤can't help doing 禁不住……
to do不可以帮助干……
They couldn't help jumping up at the news.
Sorry I have lots of work to do.So I can't help to make up the room for you.
⑥go on to do 做不一样的事或不同内容的事
doing 继续不停地做某事,指同一动作的继续
He went on to talk about world situation.他接着又谈了世界形势。
We'll go on fighting so long as there is oppression inthe world.
⑦leave off to do 离开某地去做什么(目的状语)
doing停下某事
It's time to leave off talking and to start acting.
They left off to go fishing.
3、做表语
不定式作表语表示具体动作或以后动作;动名词作表语表示抽象的一般行为。
①To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to the people.
②My chief purpose is to point out the difficulties ofthe matter.
③What I would suggest is to put off the meeting.
当主语和表语都是不定式时,其含义一是条件,一是结果(例①)。当主语是aim,duty,hope,idea,mista ke,plan,purpose,suggestion等为中心词的名词词组(例②)时,或以what引导的名词性分句(例③),不定 式说明主语的内容。
④Our work is serving the people.
⑤What he likes is taking a walk after supper.
⑥The story told by Mr.Wang is interesting.
④⑤句动名词作表语,与主语部分可以转换,如Serving thepeople is out work,而⑥句中是目前分词作 表语,说明主语的性质、状况,目前分词具备形容词的各种特点,另外,动名词作表语还应与进行时态不同开 来。
4、作定语
⒈不定式作定语
不定式在句中作定语,置于被修饰的名词或代词之后。如:
①The next train to arrive is from Washington.
②Have you anything to be taken to your sister?
③Do you have anything to say on the question?
④Would you please give me some paper to write on?
⑤My wish to visit France has come true at last.
不定式短语作定语和被修饰词之间表示以下关系:
表示以后的动作(例①)。
与被修饰词之间有动宾关系,如是不及物动词,则需加介词(例④)。
与被修饰词之间有动宾关系,同时与句中其它词之间又有逻辑上的主谓关系时,尽管有被动含义,却仍 用主动语态(例③);如只有动宾关系,而无逻辑上的主谓关系,则需用被动语态(例②)。
不定式作定语时,一般可转换为定语从句,例①to arrive=that will arrive。
⒉动名词作定语
①This passage can be used as listening materials.
②The reading room of our school library can hold 800people.
③All moving bodies have energy.
①②句动名词作定语说明一种性能,即:用来……的;第③句为目前分词作定语,单个分词作定语常置于 被修饰词之前,与被修饰词之间,可构成逻辑上的主谓关系,分词短语作定语常置于被修饰词之后。如:The man standing at the school gate is Professor Hua.
5、不定式作补足语
⒈作宾语补足语
一些及物动词除需要按宾语外,有时还需要有宾语补足语,说明宾语的行为、状况、特点,这个时候意思才相 对完整。
常需要不定式作宾补的动词有:allow,ask,advise,beg,cause,drive(强迫),encourage,expect,fo rbid,force,get,would like,order,permit,persuade,teach,tell,want,warn,wish等。如:
①Would you like me to give your regards to Mary?
②I want you to understand the whole passage clearly.
部分动词后常接to be+形容词、名词短语等形式,有时to be可省略,如:believe,consider,discov er,find,feel,imagine,judge,know,prove,think,suppose,see,understa nd等。
①We all believe Johnhonest.
②I consider himone of the best biology teachers of No. 1 Middle School.
但当不定式是完成式时,to不可以省略,如:We consider him tohave been foolish.
感觉动词和使役动词后用作宾补的不定式须省略to。
①I didn't hear anyone say anything about it.
②They make the students do too much homework every day.
这种句式在变为被动语态时,to不可以省略,如第②句:Thestudents are made to do too much homework
every day.
help,know后面的"to"可有可无。如:
Would you please help me fill in the taxform?
I've never known herbe late before.但:He was known to have been to France before.
部分短语动词后,常接不定式作宾补,如:
You may depend on them to be there early.
The Party calls on us to increase production and practise economy.
常如此用的短语动词有:ask for,care for,call on,count on,depend on,wait for,long for(渴望), prepare for,wish for等。
⒉作主语补足语
不定式作主语补足语,和主语构成一种逻辑上的主谓关系。如:
①He was not allowed to enter the classroom for being late.
②The young university student is considered to have great promise.
6、不定式作状语
⒈作目的状语
①I stayed there to see what would happen.
②Henry has decided to go to the hospital to be examined by the doctor.
有时为了强调,不定式前可加in order或so as。如:
Bob took down my telephone number so asnot toforget it.
有时为强调目的状语可把in order to或不定式置于句首,但so as to不可以如此用。在这种句式中不定式部 分可转换为so that,in order that,成为目的状语从句,如:
I stayed there so that I could see whatwould happen.
在部分表示感情色彩的形容词、过去分词或动词之后可接不定式,如:astonished,glad,happy,laugh ,pleased, sad,smile,sorry,surprised等。
①We are glad to hear the news.
②I was surprised to see that a three-year-old baby could write so well.
在部分形容词后接不定式,用主动形式表示被动意义,这种句型中的主语是不定式的逻辑宾语。如:The question raised by thestudent is difficult to answer.
The room is really comfortable to live in.
常如此用的形容词有:comfortable,easy,dangerous,difficult,expensive,fit,impossible等。
⒉作结果状语
We came home after our holiday to find our garden neat and tidy.
不定式作结果状语还常用在下列句式中。如:
①so…as to;such…as to
I'm not so stupid as to put it in writing.我不至于愚蠢到会把它写下来。
I'm not such a stupid fool as to put it in writing.
②enough…to
The speed is high enough for us to catch up with thefirst liner.
③only to
Jane hurried back only to find her mother dying inthehospital.
④too…to
I'm too tired to stay up longer.
但在下列结构中,too…to并不是是“太……而不可以……”之意。如:
①I'm only too glad to have passed the exam.考试及格我太开心了。(too修饰glad to have…,相当 于very)
②We have too much to learn.大家要学的太多了(不定式作定语)。
⒊不定式短语还可作独立成分,用于句首、句中或句末。如:
To tell the truth,the play was a great disappointment tome.
容易见到的短语有to be exact(确切地说),to begin with(第一),to do him justice(说句对他公道的 话),to be sure(真的)等等。
7、动词不定式、动名词的其它使用方法
⒈疑问词+不定式结构
疑问词who,what,which,when,where,whether,how后可接不定式构成不定式短语,在句中作主语、宾语、表 语等。如:
①When to leave for London has not been decided yet.
②Mr. Smith didn't know whether to leave or stay there.
③I asked Professor Xu how to learn English well.
④The question was where to get the medicine needed.
以上例句中疑问词+不定式部分,均可转换为相应的从句形式。如:①When we shall leave…③…how I
could learn…
常常在这种结构中用的动词有:consider,decide,discover,explain,find out,forget,hear,know,lea rn,observe,understand,wonder等。
⒉动词不定式的时态、语态
时态
①一般式:动词不定式一般式表示的动作发生在谓语动词之后,有时表示同时发生。如:
I hope to become a university student this year.(tobecome发生在hope之后)
We often hear Dick play the piano in the next room.(play和hear同时发生)
②完成式:表示的动作发生在谓语动词所表示的动作之前。如:
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
We are too young to have seen the old society.
③进行式:表示的动作与谓语动词同时发生。如:
The teacher happened to be correcting our papers when Icame in.
They seemed to be discussing something important.
语态
假如动词不定式的逻辑主语是这个不定式所表示的动作的承受者,不定式一般要用被动语态形式。如:
It's a great honour to be invited to Mary's birthday party.(不定式作主语)
It was impossible for lost time to be made up.(不定式作主语)
I wish to be sent to work in the country.(不定式作宾语)
Can you tell me which is the car to be repaired?(不定式作定语)
He went to the hospital to be examined.(不定式作状语)
在There be结构中,修饰主语的不定式可用被动,也可用主动。如:There are still many things to t ake care of .但有时两种形式表达的意思不同,如:These is nothing to do now. There is nothing to be done now.
⒊动名词的时态、语态
时态
①一般式:动名词的一般式所表示的动作可以是泛指,也可与谓语动词同时发生,或发生在谓语动作之前 、之后。如:
We are interested in collecting stamps.
I shall never forget seeing the Great Wall for the firsttime.
We are not afraid of dying.
②完成式所表示的动作发生在谓语动词之前。如:
Lmagine having travelled on the moon.
We were praised for having finished the work ahead of time.
被动语态
①假如动名词的逻辑主语为动名词所表示的动作的承受者,动名词要用被动语态,动名词的被动语态有一 般式与完成式之分。如:
The young man came in without being noticed.
He prided himself on having never been beaten in class.
②有的动词后的动名词用主动形式,但表示被动意义。如:
The bike needs repairing.
If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well.
⒋在口语中,为防止重复,常用"to"代替不定式结构,有时甚至可以把to省略。如:
①—Did you go to visit the Great Wall?
—No,I wanted to,but there wasn't enough time.
②—Would you like to come to a party?
—I'd love to.
③—Don't make any mistakes in your homework,will you?
—I'll try not to.
④—Try to be back by 12,won't you?
—OK,I'll try.
另外,be going to,ought to,used to等也常用于这一结构中。
⒌在why引起的问句中,省略"to"。如:
