3. 宾语:分为动词宾语和介词宾语,属于动作的承受者。
4. 系动词:表示状态或状态变化的动词,没有实际的动作意义。如 be, 感官系动词(look, sound, smell, taste 和 feel)、保持类系动词(keep, stay 和 remain)、状态变化类系动词(become、get、turn 和 go)等。
8. 补语:分为宾语补足语和主语补足语。是对宾语和主语的补充说明,与其有主动或被动的逻辑关系。
例如:You should keep the room clean and tidy.
(You是主语, should keep是谓语,the room是宾语,clean and tidy是宾语补足语。)
This kind of food tastes delicious.
(This kind of food是主语, tastes是系动词, delicious是表语。)
注意:主语、谓语、宾语、系动词、表语、补语是一个句子的主干成分;定语和状语是一个句子的修饰性成分,不是主干成分。
1. 简单句的基本形式是由一个主语加一个谓语构成。
2. 复合句由一个主句和一个或一个以上的从句构成。
3. 两个或两个以上的简单句用并列连词连在一起构成的句子,叫做并列句,其基本结构是“简单句+并列连词+简单句”。
例:They arrived in Harbin yesterday morning.
分析:“they”(主语)“arrived”(谓语)。
2.“主语 + 谓语 + 宾语”(即“主谓宾”句型)
分析:“I”(主语)“study”(谓语动作)“English”(宾语即动作涉及的对象)。
3.“主语 + 谓语 + 间接宾语 + 直接宾语”(即“主谓双宾”句型)
例:Our teacher taught us English.

4.“主语 + 谓语 + 宾语 + 宾语补足语”(即“主谓宾宾补”句型)

分析:“he”(主语)“asked”(谓语动作)“her”(宾语即动作涉及的对象)“to go there”(补语—补充说明宾语做什么)。
5.“主语 + 系动词+ 表语”(即“主系表”句型)
常用的系动词有be, keep,lie, remain, stand, become, fall, get, go, grow, turn, look, feel, seem, smell, sound, taste, 等。
分析:“I”(主语)“am”(系动词)“a teacher”(表语—即表明主语的身份)。
如:She knew that the teacher had seen the film.
“that the teacher had seen the film”做 knew 的宾语,同时又是由连接词 that 引导的从句,所以它叫做宾语从句。
(1)动词宾语从句:顾名思义,它是位于动词后面的宾语从句。
如:He asked whose handwriting was the best in our class.他问我们班上谁的书法最好。
(2)介词宾语从句:顾名思义,它是位于介词后面的宾语从句。
如:I agree with what you said just now.我同意你刚才说的话。
(3)形容词宾语从句:顾名思义,它是位于形容词后面的宾语从句。

The small children don't know what is in their stockings.(what 在宾语从句中做主语)
Could you tell me why you were late for the meeting this morning?(why 在宾语从句中做原因状语)
①当主句是现在时态时,宾语从句可以根据需要使用任何时态。
I don't know when he will come back.我不知道他将何时回来。
He tells me that his sister came back yesterday.他告诉我他姐姐昨天回来了。
②当主句是过去时态时,宾语从句必须是一种过去的时态。
She asked me if I knew whose pen it was.她问我是否知道这是谁的钢笔。
He said that he could finish his work before supper.他说他会在晚饭前完成工作。
③当表示客观事实或普遍真理的句子做宾语从句时,任何时候都用一般现在时。
The teacher said that the earth goes round the sun.老师说过地球绕着太阳转。
(2)语序:任何从句都使用陈述句语序,宾语从句当然也不例外。
一般现在时表示经常性、习惯性的动作,或表示现在的特征、状态。
当主语是非第三人称单数时,行为动词的一般现在时变化形式(见下表)。如:

like 可以作动词,也可以作介词。
1、like 作动词,表示一般性的“爱好、喜欢”,有泛指的含义。

3.for 与of 的辨别方法:

You are nice. (通顺,所以应用of)。
He is hard. (人是困难的,不通,因此应用for。)
在命题中有将对句子划线提问这一题型取消的趋势,现在采取的作法是对一个句子进行自由提问。
例如:
句子:The boy in blue has three pens.
提问:
1.Whohasthree pens?
2.Which boy has three pens?
3.What does the boy in blue have?
4.How many pens does the boy in blue have?
很显然,学生多了更多的回答角度,也体现了考试的灵活性。

句子:He usually goes to the park with his friends at 8:00 on Sunday.
1.Who usually goes to the park with his friends at 8:00 on Sunday?
2.Wheredoeshe usually go with his friends at 8:00 on Sunday?

1. what 与 which 都是疑问代词,都可以指人或事物,但是what仅用来询问职业。
你父亲是干什么的? 该句相当于:
What does your father do?
What is your father's job?
Which 指代的是特定范围内的某一个人。
例如:
---Which is Peter? 哪个是皮特?
---The boy behind Mary. 玛丽背后的那个男孩。
2. What...?是泛指,所指的事物没有范围的限制;而 Which...?是特指,所指的事物有范围的限制。
例如:
What color do you like best? (所有颜色)
你最喜爱什么颜色?
Which color do you like best, blue, green or yellow? (有特定的范围)
你最喜爱哪一种颜色?
3. what 与 which 后都可以接单、复数名词和不可数名词。
例如:
Which pictures are from China?
哪些图片来自中国?
例如:
When did you leave Shanghai?
你什么时候离开上海的?
2.“leave for 地点”表示“动身去某地”。
例如:
Next Friday, Alice is leaving for London.
下周五,爱丽斯要去伦敦了。
3.“leave 地点 for 地点”表示“离开某地去某地”。
例如:
Why are you leaving Shanghai for Beijing?

1.主语的第三人称单数形式,即可用“he, she, it”代替的。
例如:
he, she, it
my friend, his teacher, our classroom, Tom, Mary's uncle
例如:
man(单数)---men(复数) banana(单数)---bananas(复数)
3.动词有原形,第三人称单数形式,-ing分词,过去式,过去分词。
例如:
go---goes---going---went---gone
work---works---working---worked---worked

当主语为第三人称单数的时候,谓语动词必须用相应的第三人称单数形式。例如:
The boy wants to be a sales assistant.
Our English teacher is from the US.
Their daughter makes her breakfast all by herself.
should作为情态动词用,常常表示意外、惊奇、不能理解等,有“竟会”的意思,
我怎么知道?
Why should you be so late today?
你今天为什么来得这么晚?
should有时表示应当做或发生的事,
例如:
We should help each other.
我们在使用时要注意以下几点:
1. 用于表示“应该”或“不应该”的概念。此时常指长辈教导或责备晚辈。
例如:
You should be here with clean hands.
例如:
You should go to the doctor if you feel ill.
如果你感觉不舒服,你最好去看医生。
3. 用于表示可能性。should的这一用法是考试中常常出现的考点之一。

我们在晚饭前就能到了。
She should be here any moment.
1.常见的频度副词有以下这些:
always(总是,一直)
usually(通常)
often(常常,经常)

2.频度副词的位置:

例如:
David is often arrives late for school.
大卫上学经常迟到
例如:
We usually go to school at 7:10 every day.
我们每天经常在7:10去上学。
c.有些频度副词可放在句首或句尾,用来表示强调。
例如:
Sometimes I walk home, sometime I rides a bike.
有时我步行回家,有时我骑自行车。
例如:
Never have I been there.
例如:
There are some birds in the tree.
→There aren't any birds in the tree.
但是,若在表示请邀请、请求的句子中,some可以不变。
例如:
Would you like some orange juice?
与此相关的一些不定代词如something, somebody等也要进行相应变化。
2.and变为or。
例如:
I have a knife and a ruler.
→I don't have a knife or a ruler.
3.a lot of (=lots of)变为many或much。
例如:
They have a lot of friends.(可数名词)
→They don't have many friends.
There is lots of orange in the bottle.(不可数名词)
→There isn't much orange in the bottle.
例如:
I have been there already.
→I haven't been there yet.
in 与 after 都可以表示时间,但二者有所区别。
1.in 经常用于将来时的句子中,以现在为起点,表示将来一段时间。
例如:
He will leave for Beijing in a week.
一周后他会动身去北京。
2.after 经常用于过去时的句子中,以过去为起点,表示过去一段时间。
例如:
He left for Beijing after a week.
一周后他动身去了北京。
不过,如果after后跟的是具体的时刻,它也可用于将来时。
例如:
We will finish the work after ten o'clock.
十点后我们会完成工作的。
3.注意区分以下的in的用法。
I'll visit him in a week.
一周后我会去拜访他。
I'll visit him twice in a week.
一周内我会去拜访他两次。
1. every day 作状语,译为“每一天”。
例如:

The light in the office is still on.
----Oh,I forgot___.
A. turning it off B. turn it off
C. to turn it off D. having turned it off
答案:C。
由the light is still on 可知灯亮着,即关灯的动作没有发生,因此用forget to do sth.而forget doing sth 表示灯已经关上了,而自己忘记了这一事实。此处不符合题意。
2.remember to do 记得去做某事 (未做)
remember doing 记得做过某事 (已做)
Remember to go to the post office after school.
记着放学后去趟邮局。
Don't you remember seeing the man before?

【十九】a little, a few 与 a bit (of)
a little, a few 与 a bit (of)都有“一些、少量”的意义。他们的区别在哪里呢
1. a little 意为“一些、少量”,后接不可数名词。

5. a little = a bit of, 后接不可数名词;

1.协助主要动词构成谓语动词词组的词叫助动词(Auxiliary Verb)。被协助的动词称作主要动词(Main Verb)。
助动词自身没有词义,不可单独使用,
例如:
He doesn't like English.
他不喜欢英语。
(doesn't是助动词,无词义;like是主要动词,有词义)
2.助动词协助主要动词完成以下功用,可以用来:
a. 表示时态,

他完成了作业,接着继续去念英语。
