非謂語動詞在句中不能單獨作謂語,但仍保留動詞的特點,如可以有自己的賓語和狀語。非謂語動詞包括動詞不定式、動詞的-ing形式和過去分詞。
一、動詞不定式的構成
動詞不定式由“to+動詞原形”構成,有時to可以省略。動詞不定式?jīng)]有人稱和數(shù)的變化,其否定形式為“not+動詞不定式”。
二、動詞不定式在句中的作用
1. 作主語。如:
To learn English well is difficult.
提示:動詞不定式作主語時,為了保持句子平衡,常用it代替它作形式主語,而將真正的主語——動詞不定式后置,上面的例句常寫為:It’s difficult to learn English well.
形式主語代替動詞不定式的常用句型為:It’s+adj.+(of / for sb.) to do sth.或It’s+n.+(for sb.) to do sth.。如:
It’s very nice of you to offer me a seat.
It’s very dangerous for children to cross the busy street.
It was great fun to have a picnic there.
2. 作表語。如:
His dream is to be a doctor.
3. 作賓語。
常見的只能跟動詞不定式作賓語的動詞有afford,agree, decide, expect, fail, hope, learn, manage, offer, plan, pretend, refuse, want等。如:
At last the young man agreed to help us.
提示:有的及物動詞(如find, think等)跟動詞不定式作賓語時,常用it作形式賓語,而將真正的賓語——動詞不定式后置。如:
I find it hard to get along with him.
4. 作賓語補足語。
1) 常見的跟動詞不定式作賓語補足語的動詞有advise, allow, ask, encourage, help, invite, order,teach, tell, want, warn等。如:
Mr Green told me to send two e-mails.
提示:help跟的賓語補足語既可以是帶to的動詞不定式,也可以是不帶to的動詞不定式。如:
Can you help the girl (to) move the chair?
2) 使役動詞(如make, let等)及感官動詞(如see,listen, feel, hear, watch等)跟的賓語補足語是不帶to的動詞不定式。如:
These old photos make me think of my childhood.
I saw a young man enter the room.
提示:在被動語態(tài)中,要改為帶to的動詞不定式。如:
She was often heard to sing this song.
5. 作定語。
動詞不定式可以作名詞的定語;還可在某些句型中作定語,與所修飾的名詞是動賓關系。如:
I haven’t had the chance to think yet.(作名詞的定語)
I have tons of letters to answer.(answer和letter是動賓關系)
提示:動詞不定式作定語修飾名詞且為動賓關系時,如果動詞為不及物動詞,后面要加上相應的介詞。如:
Tina has no paper to write on.
6. 作狀語。動詞不定式作狀語往往表示原因、目的、結果等。如:
They were surprised to find that nobody was in the house. (表示原因)
To get a good seat she arrived at the hall early. (表示目的)
The boy is old enough to take care of himself. (表示結果)
三、兩點說明
1. had better, would rather, Why not ...?,Will / Would you please ...?后面接不帶to的動詞不定式。如:
To catch the early bus, you’d better get up early tomorrow morning.
2. 動詞不定式可以和疑問詞what, which, how,where, when等連用,構成動詞不定式的特殊結構。如:
Can you tell me where to buy a map?
一、動詞的-ing形式的構成
動詞的-ing形式由“動詞原形+-ing”構成,其否定形式為“not+動詞的-ing形式”。
二、動詞的-ing形式在句中的作用
動詞的-ing形式在句中可以作主語、賓語、表語、定語、賓語補足語等。如:
Playing computer games too much is bad for your eyes. (作主語)
Have you finished reading the newspaper? (作賓語)
His hobby is playing table tennis. (作表語)
Mom went out with a shopping basket. (作定語)
The woman kept me waiting for about an hour. (作賓語補足語)
三、 動詞的-ing形式作賓語和賓語補足語的五點說明
1. 常見的只能跟動詞的-ing形式作賓語的詞語或句型有:consider, enjoy, finish, keep, practice, suggest, be busy, can’t help, give up, have fun, What / How about ...?, Would you mind ...?。
2. 有些及物動詞(如like, love, hate, begin, start等)既可以跟動詞的-ing形式作賓語,也可以跟動詞不定式作賓語,且意思上沒什么差別。如:
Do you like reading / to read?
3. 有些及物動詞(如remember, forget, stop, try等)既可以跟動詞的-ing形式作賓語,也可以跟動詞不定式作賓語,但意義有別。remember / forget doing sth.意為“記得/忘記曾做過某事”,remember / forget to do sth.意為“記得/忘記要做某事”;stop doing sth. 意為“停止正在做的事情”,stop to do sth.意為“停止(正在做的事)去做另外一件事”。如:
Now stop writing. Listen to me, please.
Now stop to have a rest, please.
4. 許多由介詞構成的短語動詞跟動詞的-ing形式作賓語。如:be afraid of, be good at, be interested in, be used to, feel like, look forward to, pay attention to等。
5. 感官動詞既可以跟動詞的-ing形式作賓語補足語,也可以跟不帶to的動詞不定式作賓語補足語;前者表示動作在進行,后者表示動作的全過程。如:
I saw them playing soccer when I walked past.
I often see them play soccer in the school.
動詞的過去分詞一般由“動詞原形+-ed”構成,但有一部分是不規(guī)則的,需要同學們特別記憶。動詞的過去分詞除了構成完成時態(tài)和被動語態(tài)的謂語部分,在句中還可以作定語、表語、賓語補足語等。如:
The broken car is not hers.(作定語)
She felt excited at the news.(作表語)
I have my hair cut yesterday.(作賓語補足語)
