非谓语动词专讲
非谓语动词在句中不能单独作谓语,但仍保留动词的特点,如可以有自己的宾语和状语。非谓语动词包括动词不定式、动词的-ing形式和过去分词。
动词不定式
一、动词不定式的构成
动词不定式由“to+动词原形”构成,有时to可以省略。动词不定式没有人称和数的变化,其否定形式为“not+动词不定式”。
二、动词不定式在句中的作用
1. 作主语。如:
To learn English well is difficult.
提示:动词不定式作主语时,为了保持句子平衡,常用it代替它作形式主语,而将真正的主语——动词不定式后置,上面的例句常写为:It’s difficult to learn English well.
形式主语代替动词不定式的常用句型为: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. 作表语。如:
His dream is to be a doctor.
3. 作宾语。
常见的只能跟动词不定式作宾语的动词有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:有的及物动词(如find, think等)跟动词不定式作宾语时,常用it作形式宾语,而将真正的宾语——动词不定式后置。如:
I find it hard to get along with him.
4. 作宾语补足语。
1) 常见的跟动词不定式作宾语补足语的动词有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跟的宾语补足语既可以是带to的动词不定式,也可以是不带to的动词不定式。如:
Can you help the girl (to) move the chair?
2) 使役动词(如make, let等)及感官动词(如see,listen, feel, hear, watch等)跟的宾语补足语是不带to的动词不定式。如:
These old photos make me think of my childhood.
I saw a young man enter the room.
提示:在被动语态中,要改为带to的动词不定式。如:
She was often heard to sing this song.
5. 作定语。
动词不定式可以作名词的定语;还可在某些句型中作定语,与所修饰的名词是动宾关系。如:
I haven’t had the chance to think yet.(作名词的定语)
I have tons of letters to answer.(answer和letter是动宾关系)
提示:动词不定式作定语修饰名词且为动宾关系时,如果动词为不及物动词,后面要加上相应的介词。如:
Tina has no paper to write on.
6. 作状语。动词不定式作状语往往表示原因、目的、结果等。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. (表示结果)
三、两点说明
1. had better, would rather, Why not ...?,Will / Would you please ...?后面接不带to的动词不定式。如:
To catch the early bus, you’d better get up early tomorrow morning.
2. 动词不定式可以和疑问词what, which, how,where, when等连用,构成动词不定式的特殊结构。如:
Can you tell me where to buy a map?
动词的-ing形式
一、动词的-ing形式的构成
动词的-ing形式由“动词原形+-ing”构成,其否定形式为“not+动词的-ing形式”。
二、动词的-ing形式在句中的作用
动词的-ing形式在句中可以作主语、宾语、表语、定语、宾语补足语等。如:
Playing computer games too much is bad for your eyes. (作主语)
Have you finished reading the newspaper? (作宾语)
His hobby is playing table tennis. (作表语)
Mom went out with a shopping basket. (作定语)
The woman kept me waiting for about an hour. (作宾语补足语)
三、 动词的-ing形式作宾语和宾语补足语的五点说明
1. 常见的只能跟动词的-ing形式作宾语的词语或句型有:consider, enjoy, finish, keep, practice, suggest, be busy, can’t help, give up, have fun, What / How about ...?, Would you mind ...?。
2. 有些及物动词(如like, love, hate, begin, start等)既可以跟动词的-ing形式作宾语,也可以跟动词不定式作宾语,且意思上没什么差别。如:
Do you like reading / to read?
3. 有些及物动词(如remember, forget, stop, try等)既可以跟动词的-ing形式作宾语,也可以跟动词不定式作宾语,但意义有别。remember / forget doing sth.意为“记得/忘记曾做过某事”,remember / forget to do sth.意为“记得/忘记要做某事”;stop doing sth. 意为“停止正在做的事情”,stop to do sth.意为“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. 许多由介词构成的短语动词跟动词的-ing形式作宾语。如:be afraid of, be good at, be interested in, be used to, feel like, look forward to, pay attention to等。
5. 感官动词既可以跟动词的-ing形式作宾语补足语,也可以跟不带to的动词不定式作宾语补足语;前者表示动作在进行,后者表示动作的全过程。如:
I saw them playing soccer when I walked past.
I often see them play soccer in the school.
动词的过去分词
动词的过去分词一般由“动词原形+-ed”构成,但有一部分是不规则的,需要同学们特别记忆。动词的过去分词除了构成完成时态和被动语态的谓语部分,在句中还可以作定语、表语、宾语补足语等。如:
The broken car is not hers.(作定语)
She felt excited at the news.(作表语)
I have my hair cut yesterday.(作宾语补足语)
