副词有加a或ly的 区别在于通常加a 的副词描述一种状态,而加ly 的副词则倾向于感觉。
在一般现在时的肯定句中,当主语为非第三人称单数时,谓语动词用原形;
当主语为第三人称单数时,谓语动词用单数第三人称形式。
实义动词的一般现在时的单数第三人称形式遵从“s,es, ies”六字母规则。如下表所示:
规则 |
动词原形 |
第三人称 单数形式 |
s |
一般在词尾加s(读音规则: 清清浊浊元浊, 在清辅音后读清辅音/s/, 在浊辅音和元音后读/z/) |
stop take clean play grow |
stops/s/ takes/s/ cleans/z/ plays/z/ grows/z/ |
es |
以,x,ch,sh,或o结尾的动词 加-es(读/iz/) |
pass fix wash watch do |
passes fixes washes watches does |
ies |
以辅音字母 加y结尾的动词,变y为ies(读/iz/) |
fly carry hurry |
flies carries hurries |
实意动词单数第三人称变化规律:注意:不规则变化的有have—has, be—is, go—goes, do—does
一般现在时,当主语是第三人称单数时,谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式
主语是第三人称单数有以下几种情况:
(1) 不可数名词做主语:
Some water is in the glass
(2) 单个的可数名词做主语:
The girl is Chinese. My watch is on the dresser.
(3) He ,she , it 等代词单个做主语:
He is in the tree. She likes her family very much.
(4) 单个的人名,地名或称呼作主语:
Mary is a doctor. Uncle Li speaks a little English.
Changchun is a beautiful city.
(5) 指示代词this, that 等作主语:
This is a pear. That is an apple .
(6) Everyone, everything ,something, nobody, nothing.等不定代词作主语时
Is everyone here today? Everything is ok .
(7)单个数字作主语时:
”8” is a good number in China.
动词单数第三人称形式的一般现在时的句子的否定句、疑问句及特殊疑问句。
否定句:
在主语的后面实义动词前加doesn’t(注意实义动词应恢复原形。)
主语(单三)+doesn’ + 动词原形+其他
Jim likes football变否定: Jim doesn’t like football
He has lunch at school. 变否定:He doesn’t have lunch at school.
一般疑问句及答语,在句子前面加助动词does. 实义动词恢复原形
Does +主语(单三)+ 动词原形+其他
Does your father work ? Yes, he does. /No, he doesn’t
特殊疑问句:特殊疑问词+一般疑问句
特殊疑问词+ does +主语(单三)+ 动词原形+其他
Where does a bird live ?
How does she go to school?
动词不定式:
指由to加上动词原形(而且只能是动词原形)所构成的一种非限定性动词,但在有些情况下to可以省略。
动词不定式在语法功能上可作主语、宾语、宾语补足语、表语、定语和状语。
动词不定式可以作以上各种成分,但它毕竟是动词,所以有动词的属性。
动词不定式及其短语还可以有自己的宾语、状语,虽然动词不定式在语法上没有表面上的直接主语,但它表达的意义是动作,这一动作一定由使动者发出。
这一使动者我们称之为逻辑主语,其形式如下:
时态 |
主动形式 |
被动形式 |
一般式 |
(not) to do |
(not) to be done |
完成式 |
(not) to have done |
(not) to have been done |
进行式 |
(not) to be doing |
|
完成进行式 |
(not) to have been doing |
|
不定式的用法:1、不定式作主语
例如:To remember this is very important.
注意:为了避免头重脚轻,在许多情况下,通常都将作主语的不定式置于句子后部,而在句首主语位置使用形式主语it。
例如:It is very important to remember this.
2、不定式作表语
例如:He seems to be ill.
注意:不定式作表语主要有三种情况,一是用于seem, appear, prove等系动词之后的不 定式(尤其是to be),
二是像My job is to sweep the floor. 这样的主语与表语“等价”的情形,
三是表示想法、约定、义务、命令、可能性、命运等,如:
You are to come when I call.
3、不定式作宾语
例如:I can not afford to buy a car.
注意:
①不定式不仅用作动词的宾语,还可用作个别介词(but, except)的宾语。
例如:I had no choice but to wait.
②当作宾语的不定式后跟有宾语补足语时,通常要用形式宾语it代替不定式,并将真正的宾语不定式置于宾语补足语之后
例如:I find it difficult to learn Japanese well.
4、不定式作宾语补足语
例如:Who taught you to drive?
5、不定式作定语
例如:I have a question to ask you.
注意:有的名词(如way, chance, right等)后用作不定式可换成of doing sth.
如:It is the best way to do (of doing) it.
但是以下名词后接不定式作定语时通常不能换成of doing sth.
attempt courage decision effort fortune failure invitation wish
6、不定式作状语
例如:I went to France to learn French.
一般现在时:
:表示通常性、规律性、习惯性的状态或者动作(有时间规律发生的事件)的一种时间状态。
一般现在时的具体用法:1. 表示经常的或习惯性的动作,常与表示频率的时间状语连用。
e.g. I leave home for school at 7:00 every morning.
2. 表示客观事实和普遍真理。
e.g. The earth moves around the sun.
3. 表示现在发生的具体动作或存在的状态
e.g. He lives in Beijing now.
4. 习惯性的爱好或行为
e.g. I like dancing while she likes singing.
5. 表示预先计划或安排好的行为。
e.g. Our class begins at 7:45.
6. 在时间状语从句和条件状语从句中,常用一般现在时代替将来时。
e.g. If you come, we will wait for you.
7. 表示格言或警句中。
e.g. Pride goes before a fall. 骄者必败。
8.表示主语具备的性格、能力、特征和状态。
e.g. I don't want so much.
Ann Wang writes good English but does not speak well.
比较:Now I put the sugar in the cup.
I am doing my homework now.
9.在时间状语从句和条件状语从句中,常用一般现在时代替将来时。
10.小说故事用一般现在时代替一般过去时。新闻报道类的内容,为了体现其“新鲜”性,也用一般现在时来表示过去发生的事情。
11.有些表示状态和感觉的动词表示现在发生的具体行为时,只用一般现在时,而不用进行时态。
注意★:此用法如果出现在宾语从句中,即使主句是过去时,从句谓语也要用一般现在时。
例:Columbus proved that the earth is round.. 第一句用一般现在时,用于操作演示或指导说明的示范性动作,表示言行的瞬间动作。再如:Now watch me,I switch on the current and stand back. 第二句中的now是进行时的标志,表示正在进行的动作的客观状况,所以后句用一般现在时。
一般现在时与现在进行时的区别:一、两种时态的主要含义:
一般现在时
1.表示事物的本质特性或客观存在,没有时限性。
The table ____ soft。(feels) 表特性特征。
Japan ___ in the east of China。 (lives) 表客观事实
2.现阶段经常性、习惯性的行为,可带频率时间。
The shop closes at 7:30 p.m.
Father doesn’t smoke. (习惯)
3.表说话时的状态,感觉或结果,一般用状态动词,如:
It doesn’t matter. Does it hurt? (感觉结果)
4.特殊用法:
-在条件、时间、让步从句中用现在时代替将来。
-If you go there,I’ll help you.
—用在begin,come,go,leave,return,open,close 等短暂谓语动词表规定计划。
The plane takes off at 11:30. (不受主观支配的计划)
-在剧本、解说、标题或there(here)开头的句中表进行
There goes the bell/Here comes Mr.Wang.
I declare the meeting opens.(正在宣布)
He meets the ball and hits back to No.2 (正在发生)
现在进行时
1.说话时正在发生,进行的动作
Look! Dark clouds are gathering . (正在发生)
2.表现阶段正在进行,但此刻不一定正在进行的事。
He usually gets up at 6:00,but this week he is getting up at 7:00.
(现阶段正在进行,但说话时不一定在起床)
3.现在进行时的特殊意义
-表示主观打算常用于 go,come,leave,start,begin 等,位移、趋向动词。
How long are you staying here (准备停留)
-表示眼前刚过去的语意即“话音刚落”,适用于tell,say,talk,discuss
You don’t believe it You know I’m telling the truth.
-表示安慰、关心、喜欢、讨厌等感情色彩。
He is always making noises in class. (讨厌)
-在条件、时间、让步状语从句中表示将来正在进行。
Don’t bother him if he is reading this time tomorrow.
二、严格区分进行时与一般时的语义
1. 持续动词的一般时表持续情况,经常性,习惯性行为或客观存在的事实,进行时表暂时性或有限时刻的持续。
2.短暂动词的一般时叙述事实,特征,能力而短暂动作进行时描述反复发生,即将发生或刚开始行为。
3.短暂动词和静态动词一般时表示实际情况客观状态、结果、特征、特性,进行时表未完成含开始或渐进之意。
The bus stops. (车停了-事实)
The bus is stopping. (渐渐停下来)
I love the job. (静态事实)
I am loving the job. ( 渐渐爱上了)
4.come,go,leave,start,return,move,reach,sail,fall 等一般时态表客观规定计划,进行时表主观打算推测。
Flight 254 leaves at 5:30. (表主观打算)
The plane is taking off an hour later.(主观判断)
5.现在进行时带always,often,usually,sometimes,等频率副词表感情色彩,一般现在时则没有此用法。
一般现在时的句子转换:
(1)当句子中有be动词或情态动词时,则把be动词或情态动词(can,could等等)提到主语的前面变成疑问句;在be动词或情态动词后面加not变成否定句.
例:
①陈述句:She is a student.
疑问句→ Is she a student?
否定句→ She is not a student.
②陈述句:I can swim.
疑问句→ Can you swim
否定句→ I can not swim.
(2)当句子中即没有be动词,也没有情态动词时,则在主语前加助动词do (you,以及复数),does(单数she,he,it)变成问句;
在主语后谓语动词前加助动词don’t(I,you,以及复数), doesn’t(单数she,he,it)变成否定句,助动词后的动词要变成动词原形。
例:
①陈述句:We get up at 7:00 every morning.
疑问句→Do you get up at 7:00 every morning?
否定句→We don’t get up at 7:00 every morning.
②陈述句:She has a little brother.
疑问句→ Does she have a little brother?
否定句→ She doesn’t have a little brother.
一般现在时的表达方法:
主要通过谓语动词的变化和用时间词语来表示,其中最主要的是谓语动词的变化。现在一般时动词变化的规则是:
1.如果主语是名词复数和第一人称I、 we ,谓语动词不用做任何变化,即仍然用动词原形表示:
We usually go to school at 7:30. 我们通常7:30上学去。[go]
My parents give ten yuan to my sister every week.我父母每星期给我妹妹十元钱。[give]
2.主语是任何一个单数名词或者是第三人称单数,谓语动词要进行必要的变化。特别提一点:不可数名词也算作单数处理。
3.谓语动词的变化规律是:
第三人称单数的构成见下表:
词 |
构成 |
举例 |
一般情况 |
词尾+s |
动词原形 |
第三人称单数 |
work(工作) stop(停止) |
works stops |
以-ch, -sh, s, x, o结尾 |
词尾+es |
teach(教) wash(洗) dress(装扮) fix(安装) go(去) |
teaches washes dresses fixes goes |
以“辅音字母+y”结尾 |
变y为i,再加es |
fly(飞翔) try(尝试) |
flies tries |
特殊变化的词:
be (是) - am,is,are
I am
she/he/it,名词单数都用 is
we,you,they,名词复数都用are
have (有) - have,has
I,we,you,they,名词复数都用have
she/he/it is,名词单数都用 has
助动词,不论单复数、不论什么人称都没有变化,都用 can,may,must,need,ought to 等。
而且,句子中有了助动词,谓语动词就不需要有任何变化了,即用动词原形表示。例:
We have six classes every day. 我们每天上六节课。
I often get up at 6:30. 我经常6:30起床。
Jack likes Chinese food very much.杰克很喜欢中国饮食。
We can see some pictures on the wall. 我们能看到墙上的画。
4.一般现在时常用的时间词语
常用于一般现在时的词语有 sometimes/usually/often/every day(week,year)/ now/always 等。
这些时间词语只是辅助作用,这些词语也可用于其它的时态,所以谓语动词变化才是最关键的。
注意:当表现强烈的感情色彩时,尽管有如 always/never/seldom 等频率副词,但一般在频率副词前加上be动词,后面变为动词的现在分词形式。
例:My father lose his key again. He is always losing his key.
一般现在时的基本结构:
一般现在时中当主语为第三人称单数的时,动词上要改为第三人称单数形式。
一般过去时:
表示过去某个时间里发生的动作或状态;过去习惯性、经常性的动作、行为;过去主语所具备的能力和性格。
基本结构:
主语+动词过去式+其他;
否定形式①was/were+not;②在行为动词前加didn't,同时还原行为动词;
一般疑问句Did+主语+do+其他。
一般过去时句法结构:肯定形式
主语+动词过去式+其他
例句:She often came to help us in those days.
否定形式
①was/were+not;②在行为动词前加didn't,同时还原行为动词
例句:I didn't know you like coffee
一般疑问句
①Did+主语+do+其他? ②WasWere+主语+表语?
例句:Did I do that?
用表格整理如下:
肯定式 |
疑问式 |
否定式 |
疑问否定式 |
Iworked |
Did I work? |
I did not work |
Did I not work? |
He(She,It) worked |
Did he(she,it) work? |
He(she,it) did not work |
Did he(she,it) notwork? |
We worked |
Did we work? |
We did not work |
Did we not work? |
You worked |
Did you work? |
You did not work |
Did you not work? |
They worked |
Did they work? |
They did not work |
Did they not work? |
记忆口诀:
一般过去时并不难,过去动作、状态记心间。
动词要用过去式,时间状语句末站。
否定句很简单,didn't 站在动原前,其它部分不要变。
一般疑问句也好变,did放在句子前,主语、动原、其它部分依次站。
特殊疑问句也简单,疑问词加一般疑问句记心间。
最后一条请注意,动词过去式要牢记!
一般过去时中动词过去式变化规则:

结构句型:1.一般句子
I watched TV last night.
2.一般疑问句
Did you watch TV last night?
3.there be 句型
There was an apple on the table last night.
Was there an apple on the table last night
一般过去时注意事项:1.注意主句与从句中时态的一致性
如果主句用了过去时,从句中一般也要用过去式,或者过去进行时、过去完成时等。例如:
He believed that he was right. 他相信自己是对的。
I didn’t know you were here. 我不知道你在这儿。
I thought they were with you. 我以为他们和你在一起。
2.在口语中, 一般过去时并不一定指真正的过去,而只是表示一种礼貌性语气。例如:
I wondered (wonder) if you could do me a favor. 不知你可否帮我一个忙。
I wanted (want) to ask if I could borrow your car. 我想问问可否借用你的车。
I hoped (hope) you could (can) give me some advice. 我希望你能帮我出点主意。
Did (Do) you want to see me? 你想见我吗?
3.used to
used to 是一个词组,表示“过去曾经是……而现在已经停止了”的动作。例如:
I used to work fourteen hours a day. 我过去常常一天干十四个小时。(而现在不这样了)
I used to take a walk in the morning.我过去是在早晨散步。(而现在不在早晨散步了)
一般过去式用法:(1)一般过去时表示在过去某个特定时间发生,也可以表示过去习惯性、经常性的动作。
一般过去时不强调动作对现在的影响,只说明过去的事情。
句式:主语+动词过去式+宾语+其它
I had a word with Julia this morning.今天早晨,我跟茱莉雅说了几句话。
He smoked many cigarettes a day until he gave up. 他没有戒烟的那阵子,抽烟抽得可凶了。
(2) 一般过去时常与表示过去的时间状语或从句连用,如:
yesterday,last week ,in the past ,in 1993,at that time,once,during the war,before,a few days ago,when 等等.
(句子中谓语动词是用一般过去时还是用现在完成时,取决于动作是否对现在有影响)。
Have you had your lunch? 你吃过午饭了吗?(你现在不饿吗?)
Yes,I have. 是的,我已经吃过了。(已经吃饱了,不想再吃了。)
When did you have it? 你是什么时候吃的?(关心的是吃的动作发生在何时。)
I had it about ten minutes ago. 我大约是十分钟以前吃的。)
Used to do something 表示过去常做而现在已经停止了的习惯动作。
I used to work fourteen hours a day. 我过去常常一天干十四个小时。
I ate it at 6:45。我在六点四十五分吃了。
(3)带有确定的过去时间状语时,要用过去时。如:
yesterday(昨天)、two days ago…(两天前…… )、last year…(去年…)、the other day(前几天)、
once upon a time(很久以前)、 just now(刚才)、in the old days(过去的日子里)、before liberation(解放前…)、
When I was 8 years old(当我八岁时…)、at+一个时间点
Did you have a party the other day?前几天,你们开了晚会了吗?
Lei Feng was a good soldier.雷锋是个好战士。
注:在谈到已死去的人的情况时,多用过去时。
(4)表示过去连续发生的动作时,要用过去时。这种情况下,往往没有表示过去的时间状语,而通过上下文来表示。
The boy opened his eyes for a moment,looked at the captain,and then died.
那男孩把眼睛张开了一会儿,看看船长,然后就去世了。
(5)表示过去一段时间内经常或反复的动作。常与always,never等连用。
Mrs. Peter always carried an umbrella.彼得太太过去老是带着一把伞。
(只是说明她过去的动作,不表明她现在是否常带着伞。)
比较:
Mrs. Peter always carries an umbrella.彼得太太老是带着伞。
(说明这是她的习惯,表明她现在仍然还习惯总带着一把伞)
Mrs. Peter is always carrying an umbrella.彼得太太 总是带着一把伞。
(表示说话者对这一动作或行为厌烦)
I never drank wine.我以前从不喝酒。
(不涉及到现在,不说明现在是否喝酒)
(6)如果强调已经终止的习惯时要用 used to do(过去常常做,而现在不那样做了)
He used to drink alcohol.他过去喝酒。
(意味着他现在不喝酒了。喝酒这个动作终止了)
I used to take a walk in the morning.我过去是在早晨散步。
(意味着现在不在早晨散步了)
比较:
I took a walk in the morning.我曾经在早晨散过步。
(只是说明过去这一动作)
(7)有些句子,虽然没有表示过去确定时间的状语,但实际上是指过去发生的动作或存在的状态的话,也要用过去时。
I didn''t know you were in Paris.我不知道你在巴黎。
(因为在说话时,我已经知道你在巴黎了。这句话指的是说话之前,所以只能用过去时表示。实际上,这句话暗指:But now I know you are here.)
I thought you were ill.我以为你病了呢。
(这句话应是在说话之前,我以为你病了。但是现在我知道你没病)
一般过去时三变技巧:一变:肯定句变为否定句
技巧1.当句中含有情态动词或助动词could,would,should等时,可直接在其后面加not构成否定句。例如:
I could get you a concert ticket. → I could not / couldn't get you a concert ticket.
技巧2.当句中含有系动词was,were 时,可直接在其后加not构成否定句。例如:
I was on the Internet when you called me. → I was not / wasn't on the Internet when you called me.
技巧3.当句中谓语是除情态动词、助动词、系动词was, were以外的动词时,在该动词之前加did not / didn't,动词还原,构成否定句。例如:
The famous singer sang some Chinese songs. → The famous singer did not / didn't sing any Chinese songs.
二变:陈述句变为一般疑问句
技巧1.移动词语的位置。将was,were, could,would,should等移到句首。例如:
He could pack his things himself. → Could he pack his things himself?
技巧2.添加助动词did。谓语是除情态动词、助动词、系动词was, were以外的动词时,在主语之前加did,动词还原。例如:
Mr Li looked very old. → Did Mr Li look very old?
三变:陈述句变为特殊疑问句
技巧1.确定疑问词:人who / whom,物what,地点where,时间when / what time,原因why,频率how often,长度how long,距离how far等等。例如:
They gave the concert last night. → When did they give the concert?
技巧2.辨认结构形式:疑问词+情态动词/助动词/ was / were / did +主语+...? 例如:
The accident happened near the station. → Where did the accident happen?
