General Sentence Patterns
Introduction
形容词只修饰名词,副词修饰其它的词(通常修饰动词)
区分表目的的 to/for:
to + 动词 (Verb) → 表示目的为一个动作
for + 名词 (Noun) → 表示目的为一个事物或事件
We need to find a time to meet.
We need to find a time for a meeting.
**介词(介词词组):**后面只能出现名词(动名词)
- to也可做介词,表示方向、关系、接收者等,此时后面就是跟名词而不是动词了
**副词的位置:**实义动词前、助动词/情态动词后、be动词后
- 时间、地点副词通常放在句末
**感官动词(look,smell,taste,sound,feel):**作系动词时,后面要根据形容词
**双宾语的位置:**间接宾语(人)在前,直接宾语(物)在后,也可以对调,但是需要借助介词 to 或者 for
**可数名词:**表达单数时用不定冠词(a,an),表达复数时后面加s
冠词的使用:修饰名词
- 单数、可数名词前必须要加 a/an,表泛指
- 表特指时,都可以用 the
主谓一致:(simply-version:主语单数时,动词用三单,情态动词除外)【前提:一般现在时】
- 主语为复数时,动词用复数(动词的复数形式其实就是动词原型)
- 主语为单数时,动词用三单(加-s/es)
- 有情态动词时(can/may/must等) ,动词用原形(无视主语单复数)
**翻译技巧:**如果中文句子里没有明确的谓语,那么谓语就是隐藏的“是”,并且“是”后面的内容多半是形容词。
句型分析:
分句型,找主干(有动作就是主谓宾,否则就是主系表)
看时态
定语:用于修饰名词, 短定语放前面,长定语放后面。
状语:用于修饰动词,顺序:方式、地点、时间

从句 Clauses
注意:当一个从句作主语时,它被视为一个单数名词,因此,主句的谓语动词需要使用第三人称单数形式。

that
