可数名词:

是指能以数目来计算,可以分成个体的人或东西;因此它有复数形式,当它的复数形式在句子中作主语时,句子的谓语也应用复数形式。 
                         


可数名词复数的规则变化: 

情况 构成方法  读音 例词
一般情况 加 –s 1.清辅音后读/s/;

2)单复同形 如:
deer,sheep,fish,Chinese,Japanese
li,jin,yuan,two li,three mu,four jin 
但除人民币元、角、分外,美元、英镑、法郎等都有复数形式。如:

4)以s 结尾,仍为单数的名词,如:
a. maths,politics,physics等学科名词,为不可数名词,是单数。
b. news 是不可数名词。

如:sports meeting 运动会 
students reading-room 学生阅览室  
talks table 谈判桌    
the foreign languages department 外语系
2)man, woman, gentleman等作定语时,其单复数以所修饰的名词的单复数而定。

不定冠词的概念:

冠词是置于名词前,说明各词所表示的人或事物的一种虚词,它不能离开名词而单独存在。冠词有两种,一种是定冠词,一种是不定冠词。定冠词是the,不定冠词有两种形式,一是a,另一是an。不定冠词a用于辅音音素起首的单词前,an用于元音音素起首的单词前。如:a bike,  a dog,  an egg,  an elephant


不定冠词的特殊用法:

(1)用于序数词之前,表示数量或序数的增加:
如:Soon I saw a second plane.不久我又看到了另一架飞机。
        "This is the second time that I've read the book." “这是我第二次看这本书。”   
        "Do you want to read it a third time?"“你还想看第三次吗?”
(2)用于表示“非常”、“很”等意义的most前:
如:This is a most interesting story. 这是一个非常有趣的故事。
(3)用于物质名词前,使之转化为具体名词,表示“一种”、“一杯之量”等:
如:A coffee, please. 请给我来杯咖啡。 
        I'd like a tea, please. 我要来杯茶。
(4)用于抽象名词前,使之具体化,表示与该之相关的具体的人或事:
如:He was a success in business. 他事业成功。
        It's a pleasure to talk with you. 同你谈话是件令人愉快的事。
(5)用于指人的专有名词前,指某人、某人的作品或艺术品、…似(式)的人等:
如:A Mr Smith wants to see you. 一位名叫史密斯先生的人想见你。
        He bought a complete Lu Hsun. 他买了一套鲁迅全集。
        He thought he was a Zhu Geliang. 他自以为是诸葛亮。
(6)用于某些由动词转化来或具有动作意味的名词前,表示一次、一番等义(通常与have,take,make,give等动词连用):
如:Let's go out for a walk. 我们出去走走吧。
如:Do you care for as moke? 抽烟吗? 
        Would you like a drink? 要喝一杯吗?
(7)有的不可数名词或本来带有定冠词the的名词,由于受定语的修饰,其前可用不定冠词,表示某种状态。此时的不定冠词含有类似akindof的意思:
如:have breakfast 吃早餐─have a quick breakfast 吃快餐
        the world 世界─a world like ours 像我们这样的世界
(8)构成短语表示数量:
如:a few apples 几个苹果
        a little money 一点点钱
        a lot of time 许多时间
        a great many friends 许多朋友


不定冠词与one的用法解析:

1、两者均可表示“一”的意思,有时可互换。
如:About a[one] thousand students attended the meeting. 大约有1000学生参加了会议。
注:在数字开头时,两者均可用;但若不是数字开头,则应用one,如不可说three thousand a hundred,而说three thousand one hundred  
如:A [One]Mr Smith wants to see you. 一个名叫史密斯先生的人想见你。(a Mr...与one Mr...同义,也可说a certain Mr...,但如果没有Mr这样的词,两者则不宜随便互换,否则含意会发生变化。
2、尽管两者均可表示“一”,有时也可换用,但毕竟由于两者的词性不同,用法不同,在多数情况下是不能互换的:
(1)从词性上看:a(an)是不定冠词,主要表示类别,即着重表示其后的名词是某物,而不是其他物;而one表示“一(个)”时是数词,主要表示数量,即强调在数量上是一个,而不是两个或多个。
比较:Give me a dictionary. 给我一本字典。
            Give me one dictionary. 给我一本字典。
前者强调的是,我要的是一本字典,而不是一本教材,也不是一本小说等;而后者强调的是,我要的是一本字典,而不是两本字典或多本字典)。
再比较以下一组表达在意义上的区别:
more than a year一年多 (如一年零三个月等)
more than one year 不止一年 (如两年或三年等)
(2)由于one是数词,着重数量意义,所以当要强调数量、进行数量对比或回答how many的提问时,均应用one,而不能用a(an)。
如:He has only one pen, but I have two. 他只有一枝钢笔,但我有两枝。
        I want one box, not five. 我想要一个盒子,不是要五个。 
        —How many friends do you have here? 你在这儿有多少个朋友?
        —Only one.  只有一个。
(3)在某些表达中,两者均可用,但含义不同:at a time 每次,同时    at one time 一度,曾经 as a man 就一个人的性格而论  as one man一起,同时,全体一致地
在某些表达中,两者均可用,虽含义相同,但表达不同:
on a hot summe rafternoon 一个炎热的夏日的下午(注意用介词on)
one hot summer afternoon 一个炎热的夏日的下午(注意不用介词on) 
an hour and a half一个半小时(通常不说one hour and a half)
one and a half hours 一个半小时
a minute or two一两分钟(通常不说one minute or two)
one or two minutes 一两分种
在绝大多数习语中,两者是不能换用的。如:
in a hurry 匆忙     once up on a time 从前     as a result  结果      all of a sudden突然    oneday 一天  
one by one一个一个地     one and all 全部,每个人   one and the same 完全相同的


英语不定冠词(a/an)的用法:

1、用a还是an:一般说来,辅音或半元音[j, w]开头的词要前用a。
如:He has a computer (watch). 他有一台电脑(一块手表)。
        He's a university student (European). 他是大学生(欧洲人)。
元音开头的词前要用an。
如:This is an egg (hones tboy). 这是一只鸡蛋(诚实的男孩)。
注意:有的字母(如a,e,f,h,i等) 或缩略词,若第一个音是元音也应用an。
如:He missed an "n" in the word. 他写的这个单词漏了一个n。
2、不要从汉语习惯出发,漏掉必用的a/an。
如:他父亲是著名诗人。
误:His father is famous poet.
正:His father is a famous poet.
3、用于转化为普通名词的专有名词前,表示某某人或某某人的一部作品、艺术品等。
如:A Mr Smith wants to see you. 一位叫史密斯先生的人想见你。
        He bought a complete Lu Hsun. 他买了一套鲁迅全集。
4、用于转化为普通名词的物质名词前,表示相应的产品或种类,有时表示数量关系。
如:It’sagoodwine.这是(一种)好酒。 Twocoffeesandatea,please.请来两杯咖啡和一杯茶。
5、用于具体化的抽象名词前,表示与该抽象名词意义相关的人或事等。
如:The party was a great success. 晚会开得非常成功。
        It's a pleasure to talk with you. 同你谈话是件愉快的事。
6、用于某些由动词转化来或具有动作意味的名词前,表示一次、一番等意义。
如:Let me have a look. 让我看看吧。
        I'll give the car a good wash. 我要把车好好洗一洗。
7、用于序数词前表示数量或序数的增加。
如:He bought a second computer. 他又买了一台(即第二台)电脑。
        Later she borne a third son. 后来她又生了第三个儿子。
8、有的不可数名词或本来应该带定冠词(the)的名词,由于受定语(尤其是形容词)的修饰,其前一般要用不定冠词或改用不定冠词,表示某种状态,此时的不定冠词通常含有a kind of的意思。
如:have breakfast 吃早餐→have a quick breakfast 吃快餐
        the world 世界→a world like ours 像我们这样的世界
注:有些不可数名词即使受形容词的修饰也不能用不定冠词,容易弄错的有:news(消息),advice(忠告),luck(运气),fortune(运气),work(工作),fun(娱乐,有趣的事),weather(天气),homework(家庭作业),housework(家务活),information(情报),behavior(行为),harm(伤害),damage(损害),progress(进步),furniture(家具),baggage(行李),luggage(行李),poetry(诗),scenery(风景)等。
9、两个单数可数名词连用表示一个整体时,只用一个不定冠词。
如:He is a teacher and poet. 他既是老师又是诗人。
        There's a horse and cart on the road. 路上有一辆马车。
10、不定冠词可用来表示“类属”,这是其基本用法,它表明的是某一类属中的每一个人和东西都能说明该类属的整体情况(有类似汉语的“举一反三”或“以此类推”的含义)。此时也可用定冠词或名词复数形式来表示。
如:马是有用的动物。
正:A horse is a useful animal.
正:The horse is a useful animal.
正:Horses are useful animals.
若不是说明每一个人和东西的情况,而是说整个类属,则不能用不定冠词,而要用定冠词。
如:The tiger is indanger of becoming extinct.老虎面临绝种的危险。
        Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876.亚历山大·格雷汉母·贝尔于1876年发明了电话。


不定冠词知识体系:

不定冠词 a 1、辅音音素开头的单词前用a,否则用an。
2、泛指,表“一个”但概念比one弱。
3、表类别 a+可数名词单数,不译为“一”。
4、表示单位,相当于“每”的意思。
5、用于序数词前,表“又一,再一”。
6、用于某些固定词组中,a lot of等。
an

使用不定冠词和不用不定冠词的差异:

1、英语中的某些名词即可用作不可数名词,又可用作可数名词,但是含义不同,用法也不一样。
如:iron 铁;an iron 一个熨斗
        kindness 和善; a kindness 一件善事
2、“with+抽象名词”使用时相当于副词,抽象名词前不用不定冠词。
如:with pleasure  乐意地
        with kindness  亲切地
        with joy  高兴地
        with diffculty 吃力地
        with angry    生气地
但在“with+a+名词”结构中虽有不定冠词,却没有实际意义。
如:with a smile 微笑地
        with an effort 努力地
        with a light heart  愉快地

因汉语习惯用错不定冠词的几种情形:
(1)单数可数名词若泛指,其前需加a/an,不要按汉语习惯漏掉此不定冠词:
如:他是著名影星。
正:Heisafamousfilmstar.
误:Heisfamousfilmstar.
(2)不定冠词不能与指示代词、物主代词、所有格等连用:
如:我在公园遇到了我的一位朋友。
正:Imetafriendofmineinthepark.
误:Imetmyafriendinthepark.
(3)不要受汉语影响而用错不定冠词位置:
如:我从未读过如此有趣的书。
正:Ihaveneverreadsuchaninterestingbook.
误:Ihaveneverreadasuchinterestingbook.
误:Ihaveneverreadasointerestingbook.

不定冠词的省略与重复

(1)在不引起误会的情况下,两个并列名词中的后一个名词前的不定冠词可以省略:
如:The noun is the name of a person or thing. 名词是人和物的名称。
(2)当两个并列名词指的是同一个人时,后一名词前的不定冠词通常省略:
如:His father is a teacher and poet. 他父亲是位教师兼诗人。
但如果要强调这两种身份,也可后一个不定冠词:
His father is a teacher and a poet. 他父亲既是教师,又是诗人。
有时,由于两个并列的名词关系比较紧密、被视为一个整体,也可只用一个冠词:
A man and woman are walking arm-in-arm.一对男女手挽着手走着。
(3)两个形容词并列同时修饰一个名词时,若该名词指的是两个事物,则通常应分别使用两个冠词:
如:We have a black and a white cat. 我们养了一只黑猫和一只白猫。
(比较:We have a black and white cat. 我们养了一只黑白花猫。)
但是,有时两个并列的名词只一个事物,为了加强语气,也有了两个冠词:
如:It was a cold and a dark night. 那是一个又冷又黑的夜晚。
(4)有些由两样东西构成的“自然成对”使用的事物,通常只在其前使用一个冠词:
如:a knife and fork一副刀叉 
        a cup and saucer 一副茶杯与茶托
        a horse and cart 一辆马车
        a needle and thread 一根带线的针
        hire a car and driver 租一辆配有司机的汽车
有时连第一个冠词也省略(尤其是与介词连用时):
如:with knife and fork 用刀叉
(5)当要对两个并列的名词进行选择和比较方面的强调时,通常应重复两个冠词:
如:Give me a pen, not a pencil. 给我一支钢笔,不是铅笔。
        Do you want a novel or a dictionary? 你是想要本小说,还是想要本字典?


反身代词的定义:


反身代词是一种表示反射或强调的代词。它的基本含义是:
通过反身代词指代主语,使施动者把动作在形式上反射到施动者自己。因此,反身代词与它所指代的名词或代词形成互指关系,在人称、性别、数上保持一致。


反身代词的句法功能:

(1)用作同位语(加强被修饰词的语气,紧放在被修饰名词后,或句末):
如:The box itself is not so heavy.箱子本身并不重。
You yourself said so./ You said so yourself. 你自己是这样说的。
(2)用作宾语(动词或介词的宾语):
Take good care of yourself. 照顾好自己。
She could not make herself understood. 她不能使别人听懂她的话。
(3)用作表语:
The poor boy was myself. 那个可怜的孩子就是我自己。
The ones who really want it are ourselves. 真正想要它的是我们自己。
有时用于be, feel, seem, look 等后作表语表示身体或精神处于正常状态:
I'm not quite myself these days. 我近来身体不大舒服。
I'll be myself again in no time.我过一会儿就会好的。
(4)用作主语:
在现代英语中,反身代词一般不能独立用作主语,但是它却可以借助and,or,nor等连词与其他名词一起构成并列主语(且位于并列主语的后部),以及用于某些特殊结构(如as...as等):
My brother and myself went there yesterday.昨天我兄弟和我一起去了那儿。
Jim's sister and himself get up at six everyday.吉姆的妹妹和他每天6点起床。
He was as anxious as myself. 他和我一样担心。

反身代词的基本形式:

反身代词是oneself 根据所指词的人称、性别、单复数等的变化可以有myself, himself, herself, yourself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves 等形式。

oneself 与 himself:

当one指人时,其相应的反身代词通常用oneself,在美国英语中也可用 himself:One should not praise oneself[himself].一个人不应该自吹自擂。


反身代词知识体系:

 

反身代词用法拓展:

1、反身代词不能做主语,但可作主语同位语,放在主语后或句末。
      错:Myself went to the cinema.
      对:I went to the cinema myself.
2、反身代词可以作宾语的同位语。如:You can go and ask John himself.  你可以去问约翰本人。
3、反身代词可以作介词的宾语,如:by oneself 全靠自己
      She learnt swimming all by herself. 她是自学游泳的。
      She said to herself,"Who am I?" 她自言自语的说:“我是谁?”
4、反身代词作动词的宾语。如:enjoy oneself  玩得高兴;help oneself (to) 随便用..... hurt oneself 伤害自己;
      teach oneself 自学;get dressed oneself 自己穿衣。


关系副词的概念:

关系副词兼有副词与连接词两种作用,在不及物动词的连接中要求用关系副词。关系副词有when, where, why。


关系副词的特点:

关于副词用于引出定语从句,主要有when, where, why:
如:Sunday is the day when very few people go to work. 星期日是没什么人上班的日子。 
        That's the reason why he dislikes me. 这就是他不喜欢我的原因。 
        Do you know a shop where I can find sandals? 你知道哪家商店我能找到凉鞋吗?
注:关系副词用于引出定语从句,且在从句中用作状语。关系副词when表示时间,where表示地点,why表示原因。

使用关系副词应注意的几点:

(1)how不能用作关系副词,不要想当然地将how用作关系副词置于theway后表示方式:他说话就是那个样子。
误:This is the way how he spoke.
正:This is how he spoke./ This is the way(that, in which)he spoke.
(2)关系副词when和where既可引导限制性定语从句,也可引导非限制性定语从句,但why只能引导限制性定语从句,不能引导非限制性定语从句(若引导非限制性定语从句,可用for which reason)。
(3)引导定语从句时,when的先行词为时间,where的先行词为地点,why的先行词为原因(主要是the reason),但是反过来却不一定:
如:Don't forget the time(that) I've toldyou.不要忘记我告诉你的时间。
        Do you know the house(that) he bought recently? 你知道他最近买的那座房子吗?
        Please tell me there as on(that) you know. 请告诉我你所知道的原因吧。


关系副词的用法:

关系副词有when, where, why,作用有三个:
1、连接主句与从句;
2、代替先行词;
3、在从句中作状语,不可省略。
When和where既可引导限制性定语从句,也可引导非限制性定语从句。Why只能引导限制性定语从句。这些关系副词在意义上都相当于一定得“介词+which”结构。
1)when=at/in/on/during,在定语从句中作时间状语。
例如:Tell me the time when(at which) the train leaves.
注意
①当表示时间的先行词在从句中中作主语或宾语时,不能用when。
例如:I will never forget the days I spent with your family. 
②It/This/That+be+the first/second/last time that…句型中,that是习惯用法,不能用 when代替,that还可以省略。从句中使用与“be动词”呼应的完成形式。
例如:It is the first time that I have been to the Great Wall.
2)where表地点,只能跟在表示地点的名词后,它在定语从句中作地点状语。
例如:This is the second school where I used to teach.
注意:
①引导词where可用that替换,并经常可以省略。
例如:That's the place(where/that) we went before.
②当表示地点的先行词在句中作主语或宾语时,不用where,用关系代词that或which。
例如:The factory that/which we visited yesterday was built last year.
③where可与from连用。
例如:His head soon appeared out of the second story windows, from where he could see nothing but rees.
3)why表原因,引导的从句修饰名词reason。Why可用that或forwhich替换或省略。
例如:I don't know the reason(why/for which/that) he left here.


介词和介词短语的概念:

介词是一种用来表示词与词、词与句之间的关系的虚词,在句中不能单独作句子成分。介词后面一般有名词、代词或相当于名词的其他词类,短语或从句作它的宾语。介词和它的宾语构成介词词组,在句中作状语,表语,补语或介词宾语。介词可以分为时间介词、地点介词、方式介词和其他介词。


误用介词的三种情况:

1、多用介词:
多用介词可能是受汉语意思的影响将及物动词误用作不及物动词,也可能是受相关结构的影响而用错:
误:We discussed about the plan.
正:We discussed the plan. 我们讨论了计划。
误:Did he mention about the accident?
正:Did he mention the accident? 他提到那次事故了吗?
误:I saw her enter into the bank.
正:I saw her enter the bank. 我看见她进了银行。
误:He married with[to] a nurse.
正:He married a nurse. 他同一位护士结了婚。
误:How can contact with you?
正:How can contact you? 我怎么与你联系?
误:We should serve for the people heart and soul.
正:We should serve the people heart and soul. 我们应该全心全意地为人民服务。
误:Who controls over the factory? (但名词control可接over)
正:Who controls the factory? 谁管理这个工厂?
误:He has a great many of friends here. (比较a great number of)
正:He has a great many friends here. 他在这儿有很多朋友。

2、漏用介词:
漏用介词可能是受汉语意思的影响将不及物动词误用作及物动词,或是受相关结构的影响的影响而用错等:
误:This matter is difficult to deal. (deal with=处理)
正:This matter is difficult to deal with. 这事很难处理。
误:He is not a man to be depended.
正:He is not a man to be depended on. 他不是个可靠的人。
误:He took a cup of tea, and went on the story.
正:He took a cup of tea, and wentonwiththestory.他喝了一口茶,又接着讲故事。
误:My mother still regards me a child. (比较consider…as中的as可省略)
正:My mother still regards me as a child. 我母亲还把我当小孩看。

正:They insisted on sending a car over to fetch us.他们坚持要派车来接我们。
误:What he says is worth listening.
正:What he said is worth listening to.他的话值得一听。

3、错用介词:
错用介词的情况比较复杂,可能是因受汉语意思的而错,也可能是因弄不清搭配关系而错,可能是混淆用法而错,也可能是受相关结构的影响而错,可能是忽略语境而错,也可能是想当然的用错:
误:She called on his office yesterday. (call on+人,call at+地点)
正:She called at his office yesterday. 她昨天去了他办公室拜访。
误:He is engaged with a nurse.
正:He is engaged to a nurse.他与一位护士订了婚。
误:The sun rises from the east.
正:The sun rises in the east.太阳从东方升起。

误:We are familiar to his character.
正:We are familiar with his character.我们了解他的性格。
误:Help yourself with the fruit.

介词的宾语:

 1、名词或代词作介词宾语:
如:Are you interested in history? 你对历史感兴趣吗?
        Don't worry about it. 别为它担心。
注:若是人称代词用作介词宾语,要注意用宾格。
如:No one can sing like her. 没有人能像她那样唱歌。(不能用like she)
2、动名词作介词宾语:
如:He is good at telling stories. 他善于讲故事。

3、过去分词作介词宾语:
如:We can't regard the matter as settled. 我们不能认为这事已经解决。
        I take it for granted you have read the book. 我以为你读过这本书。
:过去分词用作介词宾语通常只见于某些固定结构中,如上面第1句涉及regard…as(认为…是)结构,第2句涉及take sth for granted(认为某事属实)。在其他情况下,介词后通常不直接跟过去分词作宾语,若语义上需要接过去分词(表被动),可换用“being+过去分词”:
如:He went out without being seen by the others.他出去了,没有被其他人看见。
4、从句作介词宾语:
如:He was not satisfied with what she said. 他对她说的不满意。
        I'm worried about where he is. 我担心他上哪儿去了。
:介词后通常不接that从句,遇此情况需考虑用其他结构:
误:He paid no attention to that she was poor.
正:He paid no attention to the fact that she was poor. 他根本不注意她很穷这一事实。
但有个别介词(如except)可接that从句。
比较:I know nothing about him except that he lives next door./I know nothing about him except for the fact that he lives next door. 我只知道他住在隔壁,其它的就不知道了。

       They did nothing but complain. 他们老是一个劲地抱怨。 
       He never did anything but watch TV. 除了看电视,他从不干任何事。
:(1)介词后接不定式的情形通常只见于but, except等极个别个词。该不定式有时带to,有时不带to,其区别是:若其前出现了动词do,其后的不定式通常不带to;
若其前没有出现动词do,则其后的不定式通常带to。 
(2)介词后虽然通常不直接跟不定式作宾语,但却可接“连接代词(副词)+不定式”结构:
如:He gave me some advice on how to do it. 对于如何做这事他给我提了些建议。
6、形容词作介词宾语:
如:Her pronunciation is far from perfect. 她的语音远不是完美的。
        In short, we must be prepared. 总而言之,我们要有准备。
        Things have gone from bad to worse. 事情越来越糟。
:(1)有些形容词用作介词宾语可视为其前省略了动名词being:

8、数词作介词宾语:
如:The city has a population of four million. 这座城市有四百万人口。
        He was among the first to arrive. 他是第一批到的。
9、介词短语作介词宾语:
如:Choose a book from among these. 从这些书中选一本吧。
        I saw her from across the street. 我从街的对面望见了她。
:通常可后接介词短语作宾语的介词是from, till, until, since, except, instead of等。
比较:I took it from the bed. 我从床那儿(或床上)拿的。

如:He was with a friend. 他和一个朋友在一起。
        Health is above wealth. 健康胜过财富。
        This knife is for cutting bread. 这把小刀是用于切面包的。
:有些介词(如because of)引出的短语通常只用作状语,不用作表语:
误:His absence is because of the rain.
正:His absence is due to the rain. 他因雨未来。
但是,若主语是代词(不是名词),becauseof引出的短语可用作表语:
如:It is because of hard work. 那是因为辛苦工作的原因。
2、状语:
如:Don't touch it with your hands. 别用手去摸它。
        Did you do this by design or by accident? 你这样做是有意的还是无意的?

        My love for you is deeper than the sea. 我对你的爱比海深。
4、宾语补足语:
如:I found everythingin good condition. 我发现一切正常。
       Her illness kept her in bed for a week. 她因生病在床上躺了一星期。
:用作宾语补足语的介词短语在相应的被动语态中则为主语补足语:
如:He was regarded as a hero. 他被看成是英雄。
5、宾语:
如:A man stepped out from behind the wall. 一个人从墙后走出来。
        He cannot spare anytime except on Sunday. 除星期日外,他抽不出时间。
6、主语:
如:Between6 and 7 suits me. 六点到七点对我比较适合。
        After the exams is the time to relax. 考试后是轻松一下的时间。
:介词短语通常不用作主语,尽管有时也像上面这样用作主语,但通常可视为是在一定的上下文中有所省略:
如:—When are we going to have the next meeting? 我们下次什么时候见面?
        —On Tuesday may be convenient. 星期二可能比较方便。
此句中onTuesday虽用作主语,但可视为是其前省略了meeting一词:
即:Meeting during the vacation may be convenient.


并列连词的概念:

连词是一种虚词,它不能独立担任句子成分而只起连接词与词,短语与短语以及句与句的作用。连词主要可分为两类:并列连词和从属连词。并列连词用来连接平行的词、词组和分句。如:and, but, or, nor, so, therefore, yet, however, for, hence, as well as, both...and, notonly...butalso, either...or, neither...nor, (and)then 等等。


并列连词与并列结构:

并列连词引导两个并列的句子。
1)and与or:
判断改错:
(错) They sat down and talk about something.
(错) They started to dance and sang.
(错) I saw two men sitting behind and whisper there.
(对) They sat down and talked about something.
(对) They started to dance and sing.
(对) I saw two men sitting behind and whispering there.
解析:第一句:and连接两个并列的谓语,所以talk应改为talked。
            第二句:and连接两个并列的动词不定式,第二个不定式往往省略to,因此sang应改为sing。
            第三句:and连接感观动词saw后面的用作的宾补的两个并列分词结构,因此whisper应改为whispering。
注意:and还可以和祈使句或名词词组连用表示条件。(or也有此用法)
如:Make up your mind, and you'll get the chance.=If you make up your mind, you'll get the chance.
        One more effort, and you'll succeed.=If you make one more effort, you'll succeed.
2)both...and 两者都
如:She plays(both) the piano and the guitar.
3)not only...but(also), as well as 不但…而且
如:She plays not only the piano, but(also) the guitar.
注意:not only…but also关联两个分句时,一个分句因有否定词not而必须倒装。
如:Not only does he like reading stories, but also he can even write some.
4)neither...nor 意思为“既不……也不……”谓语动词采用就近原则,与nor后的词保持一致。
如:Neither you nor he is to blame.


比较so和such :

so与such的用法由不同词性决定。such是形容词,修饰名词或名词词组,so是副词,只能修饰形容词或副词。so还可与表示数量的形容词many,few,much,little连用,形成固定搭配。
构成:so+adj.
            such+a(n)+n.
            so+adj.+a(n)+n.
            such+n.(pl.)
            so+adj.+n.(pl.)
            such+n.(pl.)
            so+adj.+n.[不可数] 
            such+n.[不可数]
如:so foolish 
        such a fool  
        so nice a flower 
        such a nice flower 
        so many/few flowers 
        such nice flowers 
        so much/ little money.
        such rapid progress
        so many people
        such a lot of people
:so many 已成固定搭配,a lot of 虽相当于many,但a lot of为名词性的,只能用such搭配。 so...that与such...that之间的转换既为so与such之间的转换。


并列连词用法点拨:

1、表示并列关系:
1)or意思为“否则”。
如:I must work hard, or I'll fail in the exam.
2)either...or意思为“或者……或者……”。注意谓语动词采用就近原则。
如:Either you or I am right.
2、表示转折或对比关系:
1)but表示转折,while表示对比。
如:Some people love cats, while others hate them.
典型例题:
—Would you like to come to dinner tonight?
—I'd like to, ___ I'm too busy.
    A. and
    B. so
    C. as
    D. but
答案:D。but与前面形成转折,符合语意。而表并列的and,结果的so,原因的as都不符合句意。
2)not...but...意思为“不是……而是……” not和but后面的用词要遵循一致原则。
如:They were not the bones of an animal, but(the bones) of a human being.
3、表示原因关系:
1)for 判断改错:
(错)For he is ill, he is absent today.
(对)He is absent today, for he is ill.  for是并列连词,不能置于含两个并列分句的句子的句首,只能将其放在两个分句中间。


并列连词知识体系

种类 用法 举例
并列连词 表示转折关系 yet, but等
表示并列关系 and, or, either...or..., as welll as等
表示因果关系 for, so等

比较and和or的用法:

1)并列结构中,or通常用于否定句,and用于肯定句。
2)但有时and也可用于否定句。请注意其不同特点:
如:There is no air or water in the moon.
        There is no air and no water on the moon.
在否定中并列结构用or连接,但含有两个否定词的句子实际被看作是肯定结构,因此要用and。

典型例题

—I don't like chicken___fish.
—I don't like chicken, ___I like fish very much.
A. and;and
B. and;but
C. or;but
D. or;and
答案:C。否定句中表并列用or,but表转折。
判断改错:
(错)We will die without air and water.
(错)We can't live without air or water.
(对)We will die without air or water.
(对)We can't live without air and water.


现在分词的概念:

现在分词(PresentParticiple)(又称-ing形式),是分词的一种,是非限定动词,即在句子里面不能单独充当谓语,但能充当其它的一些成分(定语,表语,补语和状语)。一般式:doing;一般被动式:being done;完成式:having done;完成被动式:having been done。所有否定式都是在-ing前面加not。


现在分词的用法:

1)做表语:
如:He was very amusing.
        That book was rather boring.
很多动词的现在分词都可以作表语:exciting, interesting, encouraging, disappointing, confusing, touching, puzzling.
2)作定语:
上面所出现的现在分词都可以用作定语,修饰一个名词:
如:That must have been a terrifying experience.
        I found him a charming person.
现在分词短语还可以放在名词的后面修饰名词,相当于一个定语从句:
如:There are a few boys swimming in the river.
        There is a car waiting outside.
3)作状语:
现在分词短语可以表示一个同时发生的次要的或伴随的动作:
如:Following Tom, we started to climb the mountain. 
        Opening the drawer, he took out a box.
        Taking a key out of his pocket, he opened the door.
现在分词短语还可以表示原因,相当于一个原因状语从句:
如:Not knowing her address, we couldn't get in touch with her.
        Being unemployed, he hasn't got much money.
现在分词短语还可以表示时间,相当于一个时间状语从句:
如:Hearing the news, they all jumped with joy.
        Returning home, he began to do his homework. 
        Jim hurt his arm while playing tennis.
        Be careful when crossing the road.
        Having found a hotel, we looked for some where to have dinner.
        Having finished her work, she went home.
4)作宾补:
现在分词在一些动词之后可以做宾语的补语:
例如:see, hear, catch, find, keep, have等。
如:I see him passing my house every day.
        I caught him stealing things in that shop.
        I smelt something burning.
        She kept him working all day.


现在分词其他用法解析:

1、现在分词一般式的用法:
现在分词的一般式所表示的动作与主语动作同时发生:
如:When we arrived, we found him sleeping. 我们到达时发现他在睡觉。
         Living in the 示的动作也可略早于或迟于谓语动作,但两者之间没有时间间隔:
如:Seeing nobody at home, he decided to leave a note. 发现没有在家,他决定留个字条。 
         He went home, finding the door locked. 他回到家,发现门是锁着的。当现在分词所表示的动作略迟于谓语动作时,现在分词通常位于句末。

2、现在分词完成式的用法:
现在分词的完成式主要表示发生在谓语动作之前的动作:
如:Having been there once, she knew the place quite well. 由于去过那儿一次,她对那地方很熟悉。
        Having failed twice, he didn't want to try again. 他已经失败了两次,不想再试了。
注:(1)现在分词的一般式和完成式均可表示已完成或先于谓语的动作,但有区别:现在分词所表示的动作虽然可以先于谓语动作,但两者之间没有时间间隔,而现在分词的完成式所表示先于谓语的动作则与谓语动作有一定的时间间隔:
如:Locking the door, he went out. 锁好门之后,他就出去了。
        Having invited him here to speak, we'd better go to his lecture. 既然我们请了他来作报告,我们最好去听一下。
有时即使是分词动作与谓语动作几乎同时发生,但如果要强调分词动作的完成性,也应用现在分词的完成式:
如:Having bought our tickets, we went into the theatre. 我们买好票后就走进剧场。
(2)现在分词的完成式一般不用作定语:
误:Do you know anyone having lost a cat? 你知道有谁丢了一只猫吗?
误:I want to talk to the person having broken the window. 我想同打破窗户的人谈谈。
若将以上现分词的完成式改为一般式也不可以(因为现在分词作后置定语时通常只表示与谓语动作同时或几乎同时发生的动作,而不能先于谓语动作而发生):
误:I want to talk to the person breaking the window.

3、现在分词被动式的用法:
当要表示一个被动动作时,现在分词就用被动形式。现在分词的一般式和完成式均有被动式形式:
(1)现在分词一般式的被动式:主要表示现在正在进行的动作,也可表示与谓语动作同时发生的动作:
如:Who is the woman being operated on? 正在动手术的女人是谁?
         I saw him being taken away by the police. 我看见他被警察带走。
:有时现在分词一般式的被动式所表示的动作也可发生在谓语动作之前(此时的现在分词通常用于表示原因,且多为状态动词):
如:Not having a car, he finds it difficult to get around. 由于没车,她感到行动很困难。
(2)现在分词完成式的被动式:主要表示发生在谓语动词之前且已经完成的动作。
如:The subject having been opened, he had to go on with it. 话题已经开始了,他不得不谈下去。
        Having been written inhaste, the book has many mistakes. 这书因写得仓促,所以错误不少。
比较:Being so ill, she can't go to school. 由于病得那么严重,她不能去上学。
            Having been ill for a long time, he needed time to recover. 由于病了很长时间,他需要一段恢复的时间。


过去完成时的概念:

过去完成时既可表示过去某个时间或动作之前所发生的事情,也可表示过去某个时间或动作之 前所发生的动作一直持续到过去某个时间。过去完成时由“had+过去分词”构成。 
如:She had leant 2000 English words by the end of last month. 
  


过去完成时的应用:

 (1)与过去完成时连用的时间状语可以多种多样,使用它的主要依据是看其是否发生在“过去的过去”。
如:He had learnt some English before I went here. 在来这儿之前我学过一些英语。
        He had written three stories by last year.到去年他已经写了三篇故事。
        We had cleaned the room when he got there. 当他到那儿时,我们已经把房子弄干净了。
        He went there after he had finished his work. 他把事做完之后,就去哪儿了。
注意:当主句跟由before, after, as soon as所引导的时间从句的动作连接很紧密时,从句也可用一般过去时。
如:He went there after he read the letter. 他看了那封信后就去那儿了。
(2)过去完成时还经常用于主句为过去时的宾语从句中。
如:He said he had been a soldier. 他说他当过兵。
        They said they had seen the film. 他们说这幕电影他们看过。
(3)在hardly/scarcely…when…,nosooner…than…两个结构中的主句通常要用过去完成时。
如:Hardly had I told her the news when she began to cry out. 她一听到这一消息就大哭了起来。
        Scarcely had he finished his supper when he went out. 他已吃完晚饭就出去了。
        No sooner had he fallen asleep than he lay down on the bed. 他一躺倒床上就睡着了。
(4)动词expect, hope, suppose, think, want等的过去完成时可用来表示未实现的计划、打算或希望。
如:I had hoped to see you. 我本希望来看你。
        He had wanted to buy a house in Beijing. 他本想在北京买栋房子。


过去完成时与一般过去时:

(1)过去完成时表示以过去某时间为起点以前所发生的动作或存在的状态,即:过去完成时强调“过去的过去”,而一般过去时只表示以现在时间为起点以前所发生的事情或存在的状态。
如:He studied there two years ago. 他在那儿学习了两年。(离现在两年)
        He said he had studied there two years ago. 他说他在那儿学习了两年。(离他说话时两年)
(2)表示过去某个时间以前所连续发生的两个或两个以上的动作时,一般用and, then, but按照动作的先后顺序连接,此时通常用一般过去时而不用过去完成时。
如:He said he went the shop and bought some food. 他说他去商店买了一些食品。
(3)两个动作相继发生,可用一般过去时;如第一个动作需要若干时间完成,用过去完成时。
如:When I heard the news, I was very excited.
(4)叙述历史事实,可不用过去完成时,而只用一般过去时。
如:Our teacher told us that Columbus discovered America in1492.


there be句型的概念:

英语中的there be结构主要表示某处存在有某物,所以通常被称为存在句。其中的there为引导词,无词义,be为谓语动词,therebe后面的名词为句子主语。


therebe结构的否定式和疑问式:

 1、否定式
there be结构的否定式通常应将否定词置于动词be之后:
如:There is not any bread left. 没有一点面包了。
        There isn't anything I can do for you. 我帮不了你什么忙。
若谓语中包括有助动词或情态动词,通常将否定词置于助动词与情态动词之后:
如:There can't be so many mistakes. 不可能有那么多错误。
        There shouldn't be any doubt about it. 对此不应有什么怀疑。
        There haven't been any parties in weeks. 好几个礼拜没开过晚会了。
另外注意以下类型的否定式:
如:There doesn't seem to have been any difficulty over the money question. 在钱的问题上似乎没发生什么困难。

        Is there room for me in the car? 车子里还有我坐的地方吗?
        Are there any letters for me? 有我的信吗?
若谓语中包括有助动词或情态动词,通常将助动词或情态动词移至句首构成疑问式:
如:Has there been an accident? 出事了吗?
        Have there been any new developments? 有什么新的发展吗?
        Can there have been so much rain there?那儿会下过那么多雨吗?
另外注意以下类型的疑问式:
如:Uncle Jesse, why do there have to be poor people like those? 杰西叔,为什么一定要有他们那样的穷人?


there be结构的谓语形式:

1、主谓一致问题:
 若只有一个主语,谓语的数则取决于该主语的数;若有几个主语并列,则通常是与靠近的主语保持一致:
如:There is a man at the door. 门口有个人。
        There are some girls in the room. 房间里有几个女孩。
        There is a pen and some books on the desk. 桌上有一支钢笔和一些书。
2、时态问题:
there be结构的时态由其中的谓语动词be来体现,它可以有一般现在时、一般将来时、一般过去时、现在完成时以及过去完成时等多种时态形式:
如:There is going to be[will be] an English film tonight. 今晚将有一场英语电影。
        There was a lot to be done. 有很多事要做。
        There were some children swimming in the river. 有些小孩在河里游泳。
        There have been many such accidents. 已发生了好几起那样的事故。
        There had been two seafights between them. 他们之间发生了两场海战。
3、与情态动词连用:

        He felt there must be something wrong. 他感到准有什么问题。
        There might still be hope. 可能还有希望。
        There ought to be a comma here. 这儿应有一个逗号。
4、动词be换成其他动词:
有时可将there be中的动词:be换为live, remain, seem, appear, exist, stand, lie, come等:
如:Once upon a time there lived a man known by the name of Joe Beef. 从前有个人名叫乔·比夫。 
        There seems[appears] something the matter with her. 她好像是出了什么事似的。
        There existed different opinions on this problem. 对这个问题曾有不同看法。
        There remained just twenty-eight pounds. 只剩28英镑了。
        At the top of the hill there stands an old temple. 在小山顶上有一座古庙。
5、与其他动词搭配使用:
there be结构有时可与其他动词搭配使用,构成一种复合谓语:
如:There seemed to be nobody about, so I went in. 附近似乎没有人,因此我就走了进去。
        There happened to be a man walking by. 恰好有一个人从旁经过。

therebe结构的非谓语形式:

基本结构:there be结构的非谓语形式有两种基本结构,即there being和there to be:
1、there being结构该结构的主要用法有:
(1)用作状语:
如:There being nothing else to do, we went home. 由于没什么其他的事要干,所以我们就回家了。
        There having been no rain, the ground was dry. 由于没有下雨,所以地面很干。
【注】有时可与状语从句转换:

(2)用作介词宾语:
如:There is now some hope of there being a settle ment of the dispute. 现在有点希望可以解决这次争端。

        Students hate there to be too much homework. 学生讨厌做太多的家庭作业。
        We expect there to be more discussion about this. 我们期望能对此展开更多的讨论。
【注】在let there be结构中,动词be不带to:

        Let there be no mistake about it. 这事不要出错。
(2)用作介词for的宾语:
