一、名词性从句_宾语从句
宾语从句即一句话做宾语,按引导词分为三大类:that引导的宾语从句;whether/if引导的宾语从句;特殊疑问词引导的宾语从句。
01. that引导的宾语从句。
陈述句充当宾语时,在陈述句之前加that,that无实际意义,在句中不作成分,可省略。
-
I can study English well。 我能把英语学好。
→ I believe that I can study English well. 我 相信 我能把英语学好。 -
I’ve come back. 我已经回来了。
→ She knows that I’ve come back. 她 知道 我已经回来了。
02. if/whether引导的宾语从句。
一般疑问句充当宾语时,需要在疑问句句首加 if 或者 whether,并把一般疑问句改为陈述句语序。
if 或 whether 意为 “是否” ,在句中不做成分,但不可以省略。
-
Are you a doctor? 你是一名医生吗?
→ I want to know if you are a doctor. 我 想知道 你是否是一名医生。 -
Have you finished your work? 你的工作做完了吗?
→ I want to know if you have finished you work. 我 想知道 你的工作是否做完了。对于这部分if或者whether引导的宾语从句关键就在于首先要加上一个词 if 或者whether 其次要把疑问句语序改为陈述句语序。
-
Will you go abroad? 你会出国吗?
→ I want to know if you will go abroad. 我 想知道 你是否会出国。 -
Are you listening to me? 你在听我说吗?
→ I want to know if you are listening to me? 我想知道你是否在听我说。在宾语从句中能用if的位置都可以用whether。
-
Do you love me? 你 爱 我嘛?
→ I want to know if you love me. 我 想知道 你是否爱我。Do you love me? Do放在宾语从句里就没有do了,因为在宾语从句要陈述句语序。陈述句里 你爱我 就直接是You love me。 疑问句当中为了要构成一个疑问句的语序所以才给它凭空加了一个do。那么变成陈述句语序的时候就要把那个do去掉。
-
Dose Mary need any help? Mary需要我的帮助吗?
→ I want to know if Mary needs any help. 我 想知道 Mary是否需要我的帮助。这句话中Dose没有了 ,但必须体现出来三单 那也就是needs。
注:一下情况宾语从句的引导词用whether而不用if:
1)在具有旋转意义,即有or或or not时,尤其是直接于or not连用时,往往用whether不用if。
Let me know whether he will come or not. 你让我知道他是否会来。
Let me know whether or not he will come.
2)在介词之后用whether。
I’m interested in介词
whether he likes English. 我感兴趣的是他是否喜欢英语。
I worry about介词
whether I hurt her feelings.
3)在不定式前用whether。
He hasn’t decided whether to visit the old man. 他还没有决定是否去拜访那位老人。
I don’t know whether to go. 我不知道是否要走。
4)从句置于句首表示强调时,用whether,而不用if。 #:宾语从句一般来讲都是在动词的后面,也就是说宾语从句通常情况下不放在句子的开头。但是,有时候我们为了强调宾语从句的内容也会把它往前提,因为英文当中一句话越靠前的成分越重要,所以说,要强调宾语从句的内容,把它往前放了,这个时候也得用 whether 而不用 if 。因为用 if 的感觉有点像条件状语从句。
Whether this is true or not , I can’t say. 这是否是真的?我可说不好。
Whether it is a mistake , I don’t quite know. 这是否是一个错误,我并不完全知道。
5)若用 if 会引起歧义时,则用whether。 #:歧义是指可以按照不同方式理解。例如:
Please let me know if you like the book.
A. Please let me know whether you like the book. 让我知道,你是否喜欢这本书。
B. If you like the book , please let me know. 如果你喜欢这本书,请让我知道。
03. 特殊疑问词引导的宾语从句。
特殊疑问词充当宾语时,由原来的特殊疑问词引导,把疑问句语序改为陈述句语序。#:可以这么记,英文中的宾语从句统统都是陈述句语序,不会用到疑问句语序。
特殊疑问词不能省略。 #:英文当中总共有九个特殊疑问词,每个特殊疑问词都有自己的意思。
-
What are you talking about? 你们在谈论什么呢?
→ I want to know what you are talking about. 我想知道你们在谈论什么呢。原来是 what 引导的特殊疑问句,放在宾语的位置,那就是由 what 引导的这样的宾语从句。
-
Where have you been? 你去哪了?
→ I want to know where you have been. 我想知道你去哪了。原来就是 where 引导的特殊疑问句,现在仍然用 where 引导的宾语从句。一定要把 have 还原到主语 you 的后面。所以就是 where you have been.
-
When did Tom leave? Tom什么时候离开的?
→ I want to know when Tom left. 我想知道Tom什么时候离开的?放在宾语的位置没有 did ,leave 要体现出来过去时的样子。那就是left , when Tom left。
-
How did you get here? 你怎么到这的?
→ I want to know how you got here. 我想知道你怎么到这的?What does she like? 她喜欢什么?
→ I want to know what she likes. 我想知道她喜欢什么。 -
Who told you that? 谁告诉你的那件事?
→ I want to know who told you that?这个宾语从句当中 who told you that 本来就是 who told you that 放在宾语的位置 语序没有变,因为现在的 who 这个特殊疑问词它当的是主语,特殊疑问词当主语本来这个特殊疑问词就没有助动词提到主语的前面,所以它本来用的也就不是疑问词的语序。放在宾语从句中语序不变。
注:特殊疑问词做主语时放在宾语从句中语序不变。
-
Who took my pen? 谁拿了我的钢笔呀?
→ I want to know who took my pen. 我 想知道 谁拿了我的钢笔。
-
How many people are waiting? 有多少人在等?
#:how不能单独做主语但 How many people 一起做的主语。所以放在宾语的位置语序不变。
→ I want to know how many people are waiting. 我 想知道 有多少人在等。
04. 宾语从句的时态
宾语从句的时态应与主句时态呼应,具体包括以下三点:
1)如果主句的谓语动词是一般现在时,从句的谓语动词可根据需要,选用相应的任何时态。
I don’t know when he will come back. 我 不知道 他什么时候会回来。
He tells me that his sister came back yesterday. 他 告诉 我说 他的妹妹昨天回来了。
2)如果主句的谓语动词是过去时,宾语从句的谓语动词只可根据需要,选用过去时态,即一般过去时、过去将来时或过去完成时等中的某一种形式。
The children didn’t know who he was. 孩子们不知道他是谁。 #:主句 didn’t know 一般过去时态,那么从句也只能用 who he was,不用 who he is。
He asked his father how it happened. 他问他的爸爸这事怎么发生的。 #:由于主句是 asked 那么这是一般过去时态,宾语 how it happened 也是一般过去时态。
3)如果宾语从句所表示的是客观事实、普遍真理、或自然现象等,不管主句用什么时态,从句时态都用一般现在时。
The teacher said that the earth goes around the sun. 老师说 地球是围绕着太阳转的。
特别关注:宾语从句该用 what 还是 that 来引导?
宾语从句中 that 不做成分,what 需要在从句中作主语、宾语或者表语。因此,若从句不缺成分则用 that ,若从句缺主语,宾语或表语则用 what。
I know that you did your best. 我知道你尽了自己最大的努力。 #:因为 you did your best.不缺成分。 you主语 did宾语 your best 宾语。这时候用 that 引导。
I don’t believe what you said. #:you said 你说,从句部分缺宾语。缺宾语,用 what 来引导。
He told me that he came back yesterday. 他告诉我说他昨天回来了。
He told me what he saw during the journey. 他告诉了我他在旅行期间所看到的事。
二、名词性从句_主语从句&表语从句
01. 主语从句
主语从句即用一句话作主语,大多数主语从句都可以用 it 来代替,作形式主语,把主语从句后置,主语从句和宾语从句类似,都属于名词性从句。
-
若原来是陈述句,用that引导。that在句首时不可省略。
-
That she will succeed is certain.
It is certain that she will succeed.
-
-
若原来是一般疑问句,用 whether/if 引导(不可省略)。若从句置于句首只能用 whether。从句中用陈述语序。
-
Whether she will come is not known.
It is not known whether / if she will come.
-
-
若原来是特殊疑问句,用原来的特殊疑问词引导(不可省略)。从句中用陈述语序。
-
How the prisoner escaped is a mystery.
It is a mystery how the prisoner escaped.
-
注:当what引导的主语从句表示 “...的东西时”,一般不用it作形式主语。
-
What he needs is more experience. T
It is more experience what he needs. F
-
What I said is true. T
It is true what I said. F
注:以下情况主语从句不可位于句首;
-
if引导主语从句时不可位于句首。
-
If he will come isn't known yet. F
It isn't known yet if he will come. T
-
-
“It doesn't matter...” 结构中主语从句不可位于句首。
-
Whether he likes it or not. F
It doesn't matter whether he likes it or not. T
-
-
"It is said / reported..." 结构中主语从句不可位于句首。
-
That three people were killed in the accident is reported. F
It is reported that three people were killed in the accident. T
-
-
含有主语从句的复合句是疑问句时,主语从句不可位于句首。
-
Is that it will snow this afternoon is likely? F
Is it likely that is will snow this afternoon? T
-
02. 主语从句和宾语从句引导词的比较
宾语从句:由陈述句转化由 that 引导常省略,由一般疑问句转化由 whether/if 引导个别情况只用 whether,由特殊疑问句转化由特殊疑问词引导。
主语从句:由陈述句转化由 that 引导句首不可省略,由一般疑问句由 whether/if 引导句首不用 if,由特殊疑问句转化由特殊疑问词引导。
03. 表语从句
表语从句即一句话作表语,一般结构是“主语 + 系动词 + 表语从句”。常见的可以接表语的系动词由 be, look, remain, seem等,表语从句和宾语从句类似,都属于名词性从句。
- The fact is (that) I can't finish the job in two days. that 可以省略。
- The question is whether it is true or not.
- This is not what I meant.
- That is why Jack was criticized.
- This is how Jane lives.
- It seems that it's going to rain.
- The question remains whether we can win the game.
- The reason
why he didn't come 定于从句
is that he was ill.
注:“The reason is that...”结构中that不可以用because,但是可以用"It(This/That) is because..."结构
- The reason why I was angry is that he didn't keep his promise.
- That is because he didn't keep hes promise.
04. 表语从句和宾语从句引导词的比较
宾语从句:由陈述句转化由 that 引导常省略,由一般疑问句转化由 whether/if 引导个别情况只用 whether,由特殊疑问句转化由特殊疑问词引导。
表语从句:由陈述句转化由 that 引导常省略,由一般疑问句转化由 whether 引导,由特殊疑问句转化由特殊疑问词引导。
三、名词性从句_同位语从句&定语从句区分
01. 同位语从句
如果一句话中两个句子成分所指内容相同,则后者称前者的同位语。
若同位语以句子形式出现则称为同位语从句,同位语从句用于对名词作进一步解释,说明名词的具体内容。同位语从句前面的那个名词也叫先行词,这点跟定语从句是类似的。
宾语从句、主语从句、表语从句、同位语从句统称名词性从句,他们的结构非常类似。
-
同位语从句和宾语从句引导词的比较
宾语从句:由陈述句转化而来由 that 作引导可省略,由一般疑问句转化而来由 whether/if 引导(个别情况只用 whether),由一般疑问句转化而来由特殊疑问词来引导。
同位语从句:由陈述句转化而来由 that 引导(正式文体不可省略),由一般疑问句转化而来由 whether 来引导,由特殊疑问句转化而来由特殊疑问词来引导。
-
同位语从句先行词多为fact, news, idea, thought, reply, answer, remark, plan, possibility, question, hope, doubt, mystery, information等。
- No one could account for the fact that
one of the boxes was extremely heavy陈述句
- The question whether
Tom will arrive on time同位语
is still unknown. - The child's question why
the sky is blue同位语从句
is hard to answer
- No one could account for the fact that
注:同位语从句有时可以不紧跟在他所说明的名词后面,而是被别的词隔开,这样做往往是为了保持句子结构平衡。
- An idea came to her
that she could do the experiment in another way. idae的具体内容
她想到了一个主意,她可以用另外一种方法做这个实验。 - 如果放在idea的后面我们应该说成:An idea that she could do the experiment in another way came to her.这样谓语部分到末尾就很短。导致头重脚轻句子会非常不协调。
- The news gave him a shock that his best friend
committed suicide自杀的标准表达
in his five_bedroom house.
-
同位语从句与定语从句的区分
1)意义的不同。
同位语从句等同于先行词,用来说明先行词的具体内容,对先行词作补充说明;而定于从句用来修饰先行词,对先行词加以限定,描述它的性质或特征。
定于从句我们翻译的时候一般会翻译成什么什么的东西,直观上同位语从句就可以翻译成什么什么这个东西。
2)先行词的不同。
定于从句的先行词是名称或者代词;而同位语从句的先行词只能是名词,而且仅限于fact,news,idea,though,reply,answer,remark,plan,possibility,,question,hope,doubt,mystery,information等少数词。
3)引导词功能的不同。
-
引导定语从句的that除了起连接作用,还在定语从句中充当一定成分,并且在意义上代表先行词,在从句中作宾语且之前无介词时可以省略。引导同位语从句的that只起连接作用,在从句中不住任何成分,通常不能省略。#:定语从句中的that起连接作用,因为从句的引导出要起一个连接作用的。 定语从句中的that要做成分,同位语中的that不可以作成分。
-
when、where、why引导的定语从句的先行词一定分别的表示时间、地点和原因的名词,而三者引导的同位语从句的先行词则肯定不是表示时间、地点和原因的名词。
引导定语从句时,它们在从句中充当状语,可以转换成”介词+关系代词“的形式;引导同位语从句时,它们在从句中仍然充当状语,但不能转换成”介词+关系代词“的形式。
-
The reply
that he gave me定语从句
hurt my feelings.
The replythat he couldn't help me同位语从句
hurt my feelings.
The news
that you told me yesterday定语从句
was really exciting.We heard the news
that our team had won.同位语从句
-
四、直接引语与间接引语_句式的转换
陈述句,祈使句,一般疑问句和特殊疑问句由直接引语变间接引语。
01. 直接引语与间接引语概述
直接引语间接引语都是宾语。
直接引语即一字不差地引用别人的话,需放在引号(单引号)内;间接引语则是用自己的话转述别人的话,不用引导,而以宾语从句的形式出现。
02. 直接引语如何变成间接引语
-
直接引语是陈述句时
直接引语如果是陈述句,变为间接引语时,用连词 that 引导(that 在口语中常省去),that从句之前用say、tell 等动词,从句中的人称、时态、指示代词、时间状语、地点状语等要作相应的变化。
- Sally says:”I'm sitting under the tree." → Sally says that she is sitting under the tree.
- Sara says:"I broke that plate." → Sara says that she broke that plate.
- She said: "I'm hungry." → She said that she was hungry.
- "'I am having breakfast,'he told me." → He told me that he was having breakfast.
-
直接引语是疑问句时
直接引语如为疑问句,改间接引语时,须将疑问句的语序改为陈述句的语序。
1)直接引语是一般疑问句时
直接引语若是一般疑问句,变为间接引语时,须用连接词 whether 或者 if 将其引出,使其成为间接引语的宾语从句。如果主句中的谓语动词为 said,则将其改为 asked。如果谓语动词后面没有间接宾语,可以加上一个间接宾语me, him, her, them, us等。
- She said: "Is your father an engineer?" → She asked me whether my father was an engineer.
- The teacher said to Li Ming: "Have you finished your homework?" → The teacher asked Li Ming whether he had finished his homework.
- The boss asked him: "Has the work been finished?" → The boss asked him if the work had been finished.
2)直接引语是特殊疑问句时
如果直接引语为特殊疑问句,改为间接引语时,仍用特殊疑问句中的特殊疑问词作为连接词将其引出,构成间接引语中的宾语从句,但需将疑问句语序改为陈述句语序。如果主句中的谓语动词为 said,则将其改为 asked。
- "What do you do every Sunday morning?" my friend said to me. → My friend asked me what I did every Sunday morning. #:直接引语,放在前面还是后面都可以,但是转化成间接引语时候,我们通常都放在后面。
- “Where have you been, Lily?” her mom asked. → Her mom asked Lily where she had been.
- I asked her: "How many English words have you learned?" → I asked her how many English words she had learned.
- ‘When did you get home?' asked my father. → My father asked me when I had got home. #:在直接引语中谓语放在主语前,放在主语后都行,但是转化成间接引语的时候,只能主语在前,谓语在后。
-
直接引语是祈使句时
转述祈使句时,要使祈使句的动词原形变为带 to 的不定式,并在不定式的前面根据句子的意思加上tell, ask, order等动词;如果祈使句为否定式,在不定式的前面加 not。如果祈使句中有 please 一词,改为间接引语时,将 please 去掉。
- He said: 'Sit down, please.' → He asked me to sit down.
- The teacher said: 'Don't talk in class!' → The teacher told us not to talk in class.
- The captain said to his men: 'Fire!' → The captain ordered his men to fire.
五、直接引语与间接引语_转换注意事项
01. 人称的变化
直接引语变间接引语时,人称的变化遵循 “一主二宾三不变” 的原则
-
“一主”,即直接引语中的第一人称,转化为与主语相一致的人称。
He said: 'I am very sorry.' → He said that he was very sorry.
He said:'I like it very much' → He said that he liked it very much.
-
“二宾”,即把直接引语中的第二人称变为和主句的间接宾语(即听话人,如无听话人,可根据上下文的体会人为确定一个人称)相一致的人称。
'You should be more careful next time,' my father told me. → My father told me that I should be more careful the next time.
-
“三不变”,即直接引语中的第三人称变为间接引语时,人称不变。
She said to her son:'I'll check your homework tonight. → She said to her son that she would check his homework that night.
注:人称的转换包括人称代词、物主代词和名词性物主代词等。
- He told me:'I'll go to the station to meet a friend of mine this afternoon.' → He told me that he would go to the station to meet a friend of his that afternoon.
02. 时态的变化
-
若当即转述别人的话,主句的谓语动词(如say,tell等)用一般现在时,则直接引语中的时态不用作任何改变放在间接引语中。
- He says:'I am busy.' → He says that he is busy.
- Mr. Jones says: 'I have just finished my work.' → Mr. Jones says that he has just finished his work.
- Jack says: 'I'll go to England tomorrow.' → Jack says that he will go to England tomorrow.
-
若过了一段时间再转述别人的话,主句的谓语动词用一般过去时态(said,told等),则直接引语的时态需要作变化。
直接引语 间接引语 一般现在时 一般过去时 一般过去时 过去完成时 现在进行时 过去进行时 一般将来时 过去将来时 现在完成时 过去完成时 情态动词 对应的过去式 -
He said: 'I want to see you.' → He said that he wanted to see me.
-
She said : 'I've just made a new film' → She said that she had just made a new film.
-
She said : 'I am going to retire.' → She said that she was going to retire.
-
Tom said : 'I broke the cup.' → Tom said that he had broken the cup. #:过去的过去,过去完成时态。
注:直接引语如果是客观真理、名人名言时,变为间接引语时,时态不变。
- The teacher said:'The earth is round.' → The teacher said that the earth is round.
-
03. 直接引语变为间接引语时时间状语、地点状语、指示代词及动词的变化。
-
时间状语:
直接引语 变间接引语 now then today that day tonight that night tomorrow the next day yesterday the before this week (month···) that week (month···) last week (month···) the week (month···) before next week (month···) the next week (month···) two weeks (month···) ago two weeks (month···) before -
地点状语:直接引用:here;变间接引用:there
-
指示代词:直接引语:this/these;变间接引语:that/those
-
动词:直接引语:come, bring;变间接引语:go, take
- Lily said : 'I will come back next month.' → Lily said that she would go back the next month.
- He said : 'It is nine o'clock now.' → He said that it was nine o'clock then.
- He said : 'I haven't seen her today.' → He said that he hadn't seen her that day.
- She said : 'I went there yesterday.' → She said that she had gone there the day before.
注:以上这些变化,要根据说话的具体时间和具体地点视情况而定。如果就在当地转述,here就不必改为there,come也不必改为go;如果就在当天转述,yesterday或tomorrow等时间状语从句也不必改变。
六、定语从句_关系代词&关系副词
01. 定义
定语从句即一句话作定语,多用来修饰句中的名词或代词,一般位于被修饰成分之后,被修饰的成分成为 “先行词” 。
Why 为什么称为先行词呢?因为定语从句是放在所修饰的,那个成分的后面的,那么所修饰的成分是不是就在前,它在前就先行一步,所以我们管它叫 先行词
02. 关系词
分为关系代词(who, whom, whose, that, which)和关系副词(when, where, why)。引导词指代先行词,并一定在定语从句中一先行词的身份充当某个成分(主语、宾语、定语、表语或状语)。
-
关系代词:
who 先行词是人,在句中作主语或宾语。
whom 先行词是人,在句中作宾语。
which 先行词是物,在从句中作主语或宾语。
that 先行词是人或物,在句中作主语或宾语。
whose 先行词是人或物,在从句中作定语。
Tips:
- that/who之前不能要介词,若有介词需用which/whom。
- 关系代词或关系副词在定语从句中已充当一定成分,因此从句中不能出现与它重复的成分。
-
She is the girl. The girl lives next door. → She is the girl who lives next door.
-
She is the girl. The girl's legs are broken. → She is the girl whose legs are broken.
-
The house belongs to him. The house's windows face to the north. → The house whose windows face to the north belongs to him.
-
This is the book. I want to read the book. → This is the book which I want to read.
-
That was a mistake. The mistake couldn't be forgiven. → That was a mistake which couldn't be forgiven.
-
关系副词:
when 先行词需要表示时间的名词,在从句中作时间状语。
where 先行词需要是表示地点的名词,在从句中作地点状语。
why 先行词只能是 reason,在从句中作原因状语。
-
I will never forget the day, I came to Beijing on that day. → I will never forget the day when I came to Beijing.
-
The police searched the house. He lived in the house. → The police searched the house where he lived.
-
I don't know the reason. He is angry for that reason. → I don't know the reason why He is angry.
注1:这三个关系副词在意义上都相当于”一定的介词 + which “结构。
-
when = on (in, at, during...) + which
- I will never forget the day when (on which) I came to Beijing.
-
where = in(at, on...) + which
- The police searched the house where (in which) he lived.
-
why = for which
- I don't know the reason why (for which) He is angry.
注2:当先行词是表示时间的time,day等和表示地点的place,house等以及表示原因的reason时,一定要注意分析从句的结构;如果从句缺少主语或宾语,关系词应该用which或that;如果缺少时间状语或地点状语或原因状语,才能用when、where或why。
- I'll never forget the day when we first met.
- I'll never forget the day which/that we spent together.
- This is the school which/that I visited.
- This is the school where I studied.
- The reason which/that you gave me is unacceptable.
七、定语从句_关系词的特殊用法
01. 定语从句关系词的省略问题
-
限定性定语从句:关系代词作宾语(不能位于介词之后)或表语时可以省略,关系副词 when,why可以省略。
- This is the book (which) I want to read. #:在从句中which 作动词read的宾语。
- I don't know the man (who/whom) you are talking about.
- I don’t know the man about whom you are taking. #: whom 不可以省掉 因为前面有介词。
- This is the movie (that) I want to see.
-
非限定性定语从句:关系代词和关系副词都不可省略。
- She is the girl who lives next door.
- She is the girl whose legs are broken.
- The house whose windows face to the north belongs to him.
- That was a mistake which couldn't be forgiven.
注:定语从句关系代词作主语后又有be动词时常可以把关系代词和be一起省略。
- The man (who is) standing behind the counter served me. #: 不省就是定语从句省掉就是现在分词。
- Give me the book (which is) on the desk. #: 省掉就变成介词短语作定语。
02. 定语从句关系词只用 that 的场合
在限定性定语从句中,下列情况下关系词只能用 that 不用 which 或 who(m)。
- 先行词有形容词最高级修饰时。
- Newton was one of the greatest men that ever lived.
- This novel is the best one that I have ever read.
- 先行词有序数词修饰时。
- This is the first movie that I have ever seen.
- 先行词有 the only, the very修饰时。
- The only thing that he is interested in is eating.
- He is the only person that can do this job well.
- This is the very book that I am looking for.
- 当先行词为 all, something, anything,everything,nothing等不定代词时。

- This is the pen for which I am looking. F
- 当关系代词后面带有插入语时不可以用 that。
- Here's the book which,

八、定语从句_限定性与非限定性定语从句
01. 定义
限定性定语从句与先行词有不可分割的关系,若去掉则先行词指代不明,整个句子不知所云;
非限定性定语从句仅对意义已很明确的先行词作补充说明,若去掉对整个句子意义没有明显影响,多用逗号与主句分开。
- Charles Smith, who was my former teacher, retired last year.
- My house, which I bought last year, has got a lovely garden.
- This novel, which I have read three times, is very touching.
02. 限定性定语从句与非限定性定语从句的区分:
- 从意义上看,限定性定语从句起限定作用,不可省略,否则原句句意不完整;非限定性定语从句仅作补充或说明,若省略掉原句句意仍然完整。
- 从结构上看,限定性定语从句紧跟先行词,同先行词之间一般不加逗号;非限定性定语从句用逗号与主句隔开。
- 从功能上看,限定性定语从句修饰先行词;非限定性定语从句可以修饰先行词或整个主句。
- 从引导词上看,非限定性定语从句不可以由 that 来引导。
- 从翻译角度来看,限定性定语从句一般译为定语从句;非限定性定语从句一般译为并列分句。
-
He has two sisters who are working in the city.他有两个在这个城市里工作的妹妹。
He has two sisters, who are working in the city.他有两个妹妹,她们在这个城市里工作。
-
The children who wanted to play football were disappointed because it rained.想踢足球的那部分孩子很失望。
The children,who wanted to play football, were disappointed because it rained.这些孩子很失望,因为下雨了。
-
He will wear no clothes先行词
that will make him look different.他不会穿那些让他看起来与众不同的衣服。He will wear no clothes, which will make him look different.他不会穿任何衣服,这会让他看起来不一样。
03. which 和 as 引导的特殊的定语从句:
which / as引导的非限定性定语从句可以修饰整个主句。
as多含有 ”正如“ 的意思,位于主句前后均可。which 含义没有限制,只能用于主句后,多数情况下意思同 and this相似。
-
I said nothing, which made him more angry.
-
He was a policeman in disguise which surprised me a lot.
-
One of my high school classmates died a year ago, which I can't believe.
常见的as引导的结构(多位于句首)
- as is well known 众所周知
- as may be imagined 可以想象得出
- as has been said before 如前所述
- as has been pointed out 正如已经指出的
- as is expected/anticipated 正如预料到的
注1: as后若为"is/was + 过去分词"构成的被动语态,is或was 可以省去;which后的is或was在同样的情况下则不可省。
- She is absent again, as (is) expected.
- As (is) reported, a foreign delegation will visit our town.
注2: as 也可以引导限定性的定语从句,多和the same 或such连用,构成“the same ... as”和“such ... as” 结构,先行词是表示人或物的名词。
- This is the same book as I read last week.
- She told me the same story as she had told you.
九、定语从句_介词+关系代词&定语从句与先行词的割裂
01. “ 介词 + 关系代词 ” 的定语从句
-
关系代词的选择,在介词后作宾语的关系代词一般只有哦 which 和 whom。如先行词是物,引导词用which;如先行词是人,则引导词用 whom。
- The man to whom you spoke is a teacher.
- The city in which she lives is far away. #:原来可以说The city which she lives in is far away.
-
介词的选择
“ 介词 + 关系代词 “ 中的介词主要通过以下三种方法确定:
1)根据定语从句中的谓语动词或形容词来选用介词。
- This is the book for which you asked. #: 原句:This is the book which you asked for.经常会把for往前提。
- This is the iPad on Which I spent 3000 yuan. #: spend on。
- The West Lake, for which Hangzhou is famous, is a beautiful place. #: buy sth. for sb.
2)根据先行词来确定介词。
- In his room, we saw a big bookcase in which there were all kinds of books. #: 在bookcase里面。
- I won't forget the day on which he got married.
- The plane in which we flew to Canada is very comfortable.
3)根据定语从句所表达的意义来确定介词。
- Air, without which man can't live, is rally important.
- These are my glasses, without which I can't see clearly.
- This is the book from which I got the story.
-
介词的位置
介词一般放在关系代词 which 和 whom 之前,但也可放在原来的位置上。
-
The house in which we live is not large. #: 放在前面比较有用的多。
= The house which we live in is not large.
-
This is the man from whom I earned the news. = This is the man whom I learned the news from.
注1:介词和谓语动词是固定词组时,介词一般不前置。
This is the book (which/that) I am looking for. T
This is the book for which I am looking. F
常见的这样的搭配有:look for, look after, take care of, pay attention to等。
注2:“介词 + 关系代词” 前可有some、any、both、all、neither、none、many、much、most、each、a few 、a litter、few、one等代词或者数词。
- Last week, four people came to look at the house, each of whom wanted to buy it.
- He loved his parents deeply, both of whom are very kind to him.
-
-
” 介词 + 关系词 “ 结构同关系副词的互换
在从句中充当时间,地点或原因状语的 ” 介词 + 关系词 “ 结构往往可以同关系副词 when, where 和 why 互换。
- Do you remember the day on which you joined our club? = Do you remember the day when you joined our club?
- This is the house
in which地点状语
I lived two years ago. = This is the house where I lived two years age.
02. 定语从句与先行词的割裂
- 如果做主语的先行词跟有一个较长的定语从句和一个较短的谓语,为平衡句子结构,常把谓语动词放在先行词和定语从句之间。
- A new teacher will come tomorrow who will teach you English.
- The day is not fat off when I'll move to Australia.
- A man can conquer the world who can conquer himself. #: 本来说成:A man who can conquer himself can conquer the world.
- 如果作宾语的先行词跟有一个较长的定语从句和一个较短的宾语补足句(或定语、状语),为平衡句子结构,常把宾语补足句(或定语、状语)放在先行词和定语从句之间。
- He asked the girl to stay at home who had been ill for along time.
- Do you remember on afternoon ten years ago when I came to your house and borrowed a diamond necklace? #:英语上,我们习惯把短的放前长的放后。

十一、被动语态_使用场合&结构
01. 被动语态的概念。
语态是动词的一种形式。用以表示主语和谓语之间的关系。语态分为两种。主动语态和被动语态。主动语态表示主语是谓语动词的执行者。被动语态表示主语是谓语动词的承受者。
02. 被动语态的使用场合。
-
不知道动作的执行者或不必要说出动作的执行者。
-
My bike was stolen last night.
-
The temple is being repaired.
-
—— The window is dirty.
—— I know. It hasn't been cleaned for weeks.
-
-
强调动作的承受者。
- All the employees except the manager are encouraged to work on line at home.
- Bruce was hit by a car. 比较:A car hit Bruce.
-
为了更好地安排句子。
- The famous actor got on the train and was immediately recognized by people.
-
在文章标题、广告、新闻中。
- Girls wanted.
- Fifteen-year-old Kidnapped!
03. 被动语态的结构。
- 理论上每一种时态都有主动语态和被动语态两种结构;
- 被动语态,谓语动词结构:be + 动词的过去分词;
- 动词过去分词只表达一个被动含义,不同时态体现在be形式不同。
-
一般现在时态:am/is/are + 动词的过去分词。
- Paper is made from wood.
- Our classroom is cleaned every day. #: 用语态时候,一定和时态是不可分割的。某种时态的被动语态。
- These books are written for children.
-
一般过去时态:was/were/ + 动词的过去分词。
- His room was cleaned just now.
- The building was built in 1928.
- Our team was beaten last night.
-
现在进行时态:am/is/are + being + 动词的过去分词。
- A new factory is being built near our town.
- Some trees are being cut down in the park.
- The bridge is being repaired.
-
过去进行时态:was/were + being + 动词的过去分词。
- A new factory was being built near our town at that time.
- Some trees were being cut down when I was passing by yesterday.
-
一般将来时的被动语态。
1)will/shall + be + 动词的过去分词。
- The thief will be caught soon.
2)am/is/are + going to be + 动词的过去分词。
- You watch is going to be mended in an hour.
-
过去将来时态。
1)would/should +be + 动词的过去分词。- The police said that the thief would be caught soon.
2)was/were + going to be+动词的过去分词。
- The man told me that my watch was going to be mended in an hour.
-
现在完成时态: Have / has + been + 动词的过去分词
- My car has been repaired.
- His phone has just been stolen.
-
过去完成时态:had + been + 动词的过去分词。
- The dog had been driven away before the child's parents arrived. #: 用语态一定看好是哪种时态的被动语态。然后你再确定谓语动词我们用什么样的形式。
- The cake had been eaten before the party began. #: ”晚会开始“是过去,”蛋糕被吃掉“是过去的过去。
-
将来完成时态:will / shall have been + 动词的过去分词。
- By the time you get back, the problem will have been solved.
-
过去将来完成时态:would/ should have been + 动词的过去分词。
- He said the work would have been finished the next day.
-
情态动词的被动语态:情态动词 + be + 动词的过去分词。
- The missing boy couldn't be found anywhere.
- These children must be taken good care of.
04. 被动语态使用时的注意事项。
- 不及物动词或不及物动词词组不能用于被动语态,如 happen, die, disappear, take place 等。
- 系动词不能用于被动语态,如 be , look, sound, appear 等。
- 表示状态的动词不能用于被动语态,如 have, fit, suit, cost, suffer 等。
- 带有同源宾语、反身代词的及物动词不能用于被动语态,如 dream a dream, live a···life, enjoy one self 等。 #:同源宾语就是这个宾语跟动词要么是同样的词,要么是同根词。
- 不及物动词构成的及物性短语动词可以用于被动语态,如 look, after, look into 等。
- Your house will be looked after while you are away.
- The question was looked into.
十二、被动语态_主动与被动的转换
01. 主动语态变被动语态的方法。
-
把主动语态的宾语变为被动语态的主语。
-
把谓语变成被动结构(be + 过去分词。)
-
把主动语态中的主语放在介词by之后,将主格改为宾格。
总结:宾语变主语,谓语动词变被动,主语放在by 的后面。
02. 遇到下列情况时,表示动作执行者的“by+宾语”常常被省略。
- 动作执行者不确定时。
- Many people are killed in traffic accidents every day.
- 不必表明动作的执行者时。
- Football is played all over the world.
- 动作执行者为一般大众时。
- Both English and Spanish are spoken in this area.
03. 主动语态变被动语态需要注意的几个问题。
- 时态保持一致。
- I have repaired my computer. → My computer has been repaired.
- 谓动为动词短语的被动语态不能丢掉动词短语的介词或副词。
- His best friend often looks after him. → He is often looked after by his best friend.
- 主动语态中若有双宾语。紧跟在动词之后的宾语变为被动语态的主语。另一个宾语不变。
- I bought
my son
a toy car
for his birthday. → My son was bought a toy car for his birthday. - I bought a toy car for may son for his birthday. → A toy car was bought for my son for his birthday.
- I bought
- 主动语态若有复合宾语,将主动语态的宾语变为被动语态的主语,其余不变。
- They elected John president of the students' union. → John was elected president of the students' union.
注:使役动词(make,have,let)和感官动词(see,watch,notice,hear,find)后跟省略了to的动词不定式,但在被动语态中必须加上to。
- We noticed a stranger enter the building. → A stranger was noticed to enter the building.
- They found him steal a necklace from a shop. → He was found to steal a necklace from a shop.
- The boss made him work very late every day. → He was made to work very late every day.
十三、被动语态_特殊动词的被动语态
01. 双宾语动词的被动语态。
含有双宾语的动词变为被动语态时,紧跟在动词之后的宾语变为被动语态的主语,另一个宾语不变;如果主动语态中宾语之前有介词,变为被动语态时介词仍然保留。
以动词give为例:
Give sb. sth. → Sb. be given sth.
give sth. to sb. → Sth. be given sb.
- They have offered me a large sum of money. → I have been offered a large sum of money.
- They have offered a large sum of money to me. → a large sum of money has been offered to me.
- He sent me a present. → I was sent a present.
- He sent me a present to me. → A present was sent to me,
- He handed me the prize. → I was handed the prize.
- He handed me the prize to me. → The prize was handed to me.
02. 主动形式表示被动意义的词。
英文当中有一些词,用主动形式表示被动意义。也就是它用主动形式,但其实表达的是被动的含义。换过来说,对于特定的这些词,我们表达它的被动含义的时候是不用被动语态而要用主动语态的。
-
我先感官动词和系动词加形容词,可以表示被动意义,如look,smell,taste,fell,sound,prove等。 #: 系动词压根它就没有被动语态。因为它没有宾语嘛!
- The flower smells sweet.
- You look tired.
- The dish tastes delicious.
- The cloth feels soft.
- The idea sounds great.
- The movie proved to be a success.
-
要是开始,结束,运动等的动词往往用主动形式表示被动意义。如begin, start, end, open, close, shut, catch, move 等。
- Work began at 7 o'clock this morning.
- The shop closes at 6 p.m. every day.
- The play ended at 10 o'clock.
- The door opens with difficulty.
- The box doesn't lock. 这个箱子锁不上。
- The box isn't locked. 这个箱子没有上锁。
-
某些表示主语的属性特征的动词可以表示被动意义。如read, write, eat, sell, wash, clean, dry, peel 等。
- The essay reads smoothly.
- My new pen writes well.
- The meat eat well.
- This type of television sells well.
-
want, need, require, worth 等词的后面可用动名词的主动形式表示被动意义。
- The table wants cleaning.
- The children need taking care of.
- My bike requires mending.
-
某些作表语的形容词后,用不定式的主动形式表示被动意义。
- She is easy to get along with.
- The fish is not fit to eat.
- He is hard to please.
-
有些“介词+名词”构成的介词短语表示被动意义。
under control 得到控制。 under treatment 治疗。 under repair 在修理。 under discussion 在讨论。 under construction 在施工。 beyond belief 难以置信。 in sight 看得见。 out of sight 看不见。 on show 在展出。
- The rumor is beyond belief. = The rumor can't be believed.
- My car is under repair. = My car is under repair.
十四、虚拟语气_if型的虚拟语气
01. if 引导的条件状语从句
-
真实条件句。
-
非真实条件句。(即虚拟语气。)
1)与现在事实相反。从句谓语 主句谓语 did(be只用were) would / could / should / might + do - If it were not for hope, the heart would break. 人为希望而活。
- If there were no clouds, we should not enjoy the sun. 吃得苦中苦,方知甜中甜。
- If I were a bird, I could fly to you.
2)与过去事实相反。
从句谓语 主句谓语 had done would / could / should / might + have done - If I had known your telephone number, I would have called you yesterday.
- If he had listened to his teacher's advice, he could have passed the exam.
- If he had been more careful, he would not have made the mistake.
3)与未来趋势相反
从句谓语 主句谓语 1)did(be用were) would / could / should / might + do 2) should + do might + to 3) were to + do 从上到下这三种可能性越来越小。 - If we missed the train tomorrow, we should wait an hour at the station.
- If it should rain tomorrow, I would not go there.
- If the sun were to rise in the west, I would lend you the money.
注1:非真实条件句中的条件从句有时不表达出来,只含在副词、介词短语、上下文或其他方式表示出来,这种句子叫做含蓄条件句,在多数情况下,条件会暗含咋短语中,如without...,but for...等
- But for his help, we would still be working now.
- Without your instruction, I would not have made such great progress.
- We didn't know his telephone number; otherwise we would have telephoned him.
注2:有时主句和从句的谓语动词指不同的时间,这时需要用混合虚拟语气。在这种情况下,主句和从句应采用语具体时间相对应的虚拟形式,在做这些题目时候尤其要注意每道题目的提示语:时间状语。
- If you had followed my advice, you would be better now.
- If you had studied hard before, you would be a college student now.
- If I were you, I would have chosen to take the job.
If引导的虚拟语气的从句部分含有were,should或had时,可省略if,再把were,should或had移到从句的句首,实行倒装。这种多用于书面语。
- If they were here now, they could help us. → Were they here now, they could help us.
- If you had come a little earlier, you would have met him. → Had you come a little earlier, you would have met him.

十五、虚拟语气_其它形式的虚拟语气
01. wish 型的虚拟语气
wish 后的宾语从句用虚拟语气,表示不能实现的愿望。与现在事实相反,从句中的谓语动词用一般过去时(be的过去式只用were);与过去事实相反,从句中的谓语动词用“had加过去分词”;表示将来不太可能实现的愿望,从句中的谓语动词用“would / could / should / might + 动词原形”。
-
I wish you were here.
I wish I had taken your advice.
-
Sophia wished she hadn't done it.
I wish you could go with me tomorrow.
02. should 型的虚拟语气 (should + 动词原形)
- 在表示"建议“、”要求“、”命令“等的动词。比如suggest, advise, require, request, insist, order 等后的宾语从句中,谓语动词用“(should)+动词原形” 结构。

- It's strange that you (should) say such a thing.
03. as if/though 引导的虚拟语气
在 as if/though引导的状语从句中,若从句与事实相反,则要用虚拟语气。结构如下:
- 主句 + as if / though + 主句 + 一般过去时(从句的动作与主句同时发生)
- 主句 + as if / though + 主语 + would /could + 动词原形(从句的动作相对于主句来说,在将来发生)
- 主句 + as if / though + 主语 + 过去完成时(从句的动作先发生于主句动作之前)
- He talks as if he knew all about it.
- She speaks English well as if she had lived in America.
- He learns English so hard as if he would study abroad.
注:这种结构若从句中的情况是可能发生的,也可以用陈述语气。
- It looks as if our team is going to win.
- It seems as if we will have to spend the night here.
- The meat tastes as if it has gone bad.
04. If only 引导的虚拟语气
If only后用的虚拟语气,常译为“ 要是 ··· 就好了 ”。表示现在没有实现的愿望,谓语动词用一般过去时;
表示过去没有实现的愿望,谓语动词用过去完成时;表示将来不太可能实现的愿望,从句中的谓语动词用“would / could / should / might + 动词原形”。

十九、It的用法
在英语中,It的使用相当广泛,它即可用作代词,也可用作形式主语和形式宾语,还可用用作强调结构中的强调词。
-
指代事物、物、婴儿或未知的人。
- It happened during my stay in the United States.
- My pen is missing. I can't find it anywhere.
- The frog is not a warm-blooded animal. It is a cold-blooded one.

-
It is rather cold today, isn't it?

It's dark outside.
-
Why is it so noisy in that room?
-
--- How far is it from here to the station?
--- It's about two kilometers.
-
It is raining hard.
-
It did not snow much last winter
-
-
作形式主语,当主语的动词不定式、动名词或主语从句时,为了避免头重脚轻,往往把主语后置,而用it作形式主语来指代后面的真实主语。
- Is it necessary to complete the design before National Day?
- In fact, it is a hard job for the police to keep order in an important football match.
- It is not a good habit to stay up late.
- It is no use crying over spilt milk.
- It is a pity that you didn't go to see the movie.
- Has it been decided when we are to hold the sports meeting?

-
作形式宾语,当不定式或that引导的宾语从句在句中作宾语且其后跟有宾语补足语(一般为形容词或名词)时,通常会在原宾语的位置使用形式宾语it,而将真正的宾语移至句末。
- I find it interesting to study English. #: 本来是I find to study English interesting.
- He thinks it his duty to help the girl.
- I find it difficult to work with him.
- I think it very strange that he goes out every night.
注:若宾语补足语是no use / no good / no point / a waste of ... 时,真正宾语习惯上用动名词。
- I think it no use telling them.
- I think it no point staying here an doing nothing at all.
- We think it a waste of time arguing with him
-
it用在强调结构中,当我们要强调句子的某一部分(通常是主语,宾语或状语)时,常用强调结构。其形式”It is (was) + 被强调部分 + who (that)+ 句子的其他成分“。在这种结构中,it无实际意义,它只帮助改变一个句子的结构,使某一成分受到强调。
- I told her the news at the gate yesterday.
- It was I that told her the news at the gate yesterday.
- It was her that I told the news at the gate yesterday.
-
用于习惯用语中。
- Take it easy.
- Where does it hurt?
- That is about it.
- as luck would have it.
二十、强调句
01. 概念
当我们要强调句子的某一部分(通常是主语,宾语或状语)时,常用强调结构。其形式为”It is (was) + 被强调部分 + that+ 句子的其他成分“。在这种结构中,it无实际意义,它只帮助改变一个句子的结构,使某一成分受到强调。
02. 使用强调句型要注意的几点
-
在该强调结构中,it无任何意义但不可以换成this或者that等。”It is (was)···that···“为结构句,假如去掉,剩下部分在语法结构和句子含义上均完整,这一点正是它和定语从句等的本质区别。
-
He bought the book in this shop yesterday.
→ It was he that bought the book in this shop yesterday.(强调主语he)
→ It was the book that he bought in this shop yesterday.(强调宾语the book)
→ It was in this shop that he bought the book yesterday.(强调地点状语 in the shop)
→It was yesterday that he bought the book in this shop.(强调时间状语yesterday)
-
-
被强调部分指人时,其后除了用that之外,也可用who或whom。强调的是主语时,使用who;强调的是宾语时,使用whom。
- It was he who bought the book in this shop yesterday.
- It was Mary who picked up the wallet.
- It was I who was deceived.
- It was one of my old schoolmates whom I visited yesterday.
- It was Jack whom I met in the park last week.
-
强调句的时态,一般来说,原句的谓语动词如果是现在或将来各种时态,则用句型”It was ... that(who,whom) ... “。
- It is Smith who is leaving for Beijing tomorrow.
- It is tomorrow that I am going to be back.
- It was only when I reread his poems recently that I began to appreciate their beauty.
-
在强调时间、地点、原因或方式状语时,不能用when、where、why或how,只用that。
- It was because her mother was ill that she didn't go with us.
- It was in Shanghai that the Chinese Communist Party was founded on July 1, 1921.
注:可用“It is / was because ... that ... ”结构强调because引导的原因状语从句,但不能用该结构强调由since或as引导的原因状语从句。
- It is since everybody is here that let's begin our discussion. F
- It was as it was raining hard that they had to stay at home. F
-
如何强调”not ··· until“结构,在强调”not ··· until“结构中由until短语(或从句)表示的时间状语时,要用固定的强调句型”It is/was not until ... that ... “,其中that从句中的谓语动词用肯定式。
-
He didn't go to bed until / till his wife came back.
→ It was not until his wife come back that he went to bed.
注:此句型只用until,不用till。但如果不是强调句型,till/until可通用;因为句型中“It is / was not until... ”已经是否定句,that后面的从句要用肯定句,切勿再用否定句。
-
My father did not come home until midnight.
→ It was not until midnight that my father came home.
-
We didn't know her mother was ill in bed until she came to see us.
→It was not until she came to see us that we knew her mother was ill in bed.
-
-
在强调一般疑问句中的某一成分时,主句要用一般疑问句的语序。
-
The American astronaut succeeded in landing on the moon in 1969.
→ Was it in 1969 that the American astronaut succeeded in landing on the moon?
-
-
特殊疑问句中只有特殊疑问词可以强调,其强调结构是:“疑问词 + is / was it + that ... ?”。
-
When did you get to know her?
→ When was it that you got to know her?
-
-
强调句的谓语动词除了可采用现在时和过去时的单数形式外,有时根据需要还可采用复杂的形式。
- It might be John who will take part in the contest on behalf of our class.
- It must be his father that he is looking for.
- It must have been Mary that you saw just now.
-
强调句结构不可以强调谓语,若强调谓语,在肯定句和祈使句中,在谓语动词前加上助动词do的某种形式以加强语气。只用于一般现在时(do,does)和一般过去时(did)中。
-
He came back last night.
→He did come back last night.
-
Come in.
→ Do come in.
-
二十一、倒装句
01. 完全倒装
英文中如果谓语在主语前面,就是倒装语序。倒装语序又分为完全倒装和部分倒装。在完全倒装的句子中,整个谓语都放在主语的前面。
-

注1:状语置于句首时,谓语动词若是及物动词则不能用倒装。

二十二、省略
在英语中,为了使语言简洁明了,重点突出或上下文紧密相连,可用省去某些句子成分而保持句意不变,这种现象称为省略。
英文中常见的省略现象:
-
并列句中的省略,一般来讲,并列句中重复的谓语动词可省略。
- Mary was happy, while Jane (was) miserable.
- Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.
-
状语从句中的省略。
如果从句的主语和主句的主句一致,且从句的谓语含有be动词的某种形式(am/is//are/was/were),可同时省略从句的主语和be动词的某种形式。
- Do be careful when (you are) crossing the street.
- While (I was) on my way to work, I met her.
- If (it is) properly treated, waste will do no harm to the environment.
- I'll not go to the party unless (I am) invited.
-
than和as引导的比较状语从句中的省略。
当不同的主语进行比较时,一般省略从句中的谓语;当从句中的主语与谓语(be动词除外)和主句中的主语与谓语相同时,通常省略从句中的主语和谓语只保留比较部分。
- He is taller than his brother (is).
- Liu Xiang runs faster than I (do).
- I have as mush as confidence in you as (I have confidence) in him.
-
以if从句为代表的状语从句中的特殊省略用法,通常省略了it is,that is,there is/are。
- if (it is) necessary. this old temple will be rebuilt.
- If (that is) so, I will call you back at 5:00 pm.
- There are only a few books in our school library. if (there are) any.
-
定语从句中的省略用法。
关系代词that,which,whom等在限制性定语从句中充当宾语且不位于介词之后时,可以省略;in which或that在先行词way后可省略。
- The man (that/who/whom) you visited last night is my grandpa.
- I don't like the way (in which/that) you treat the girl.
-
不定式符号to的省略。
1)感官动词see,hear,feel,watch等和使役动词have,make,let等后接不定式作宾语时,不定式省略to。
- Aaron, don't make your little sister cry.
2)do nothing but,can't help but等结构常接省略to的不定式。
- We didn't do anything but stay at home watching TV yesterday.
- Hearing the news, she couldn't help but cry.
3)在特定语境中为了避免重复,当不定式再次出现时,在want,wish,hope,try,plan,like,love,hate等后往往只保留to,而省略后面的动词。
- My parents encouraged me to study abroad, but I didn't want to.
注:如果to之后的动词是be,则往往把be带上。
- He doesn't work so hard as he used to.
- He is not so honest as he used to be.
-
so和not的替代性省略。
用于避免重复前面所说过的内容,替代词so/not替代肯定或否定的名词性从句。可与believe,expect,fear,guess,hope,say,speak,suppose,think,I'm afraid等连用。
- --- Do you suppose he is going to attend the meeting?
- --- I suppose not. (I suppose so.)
- --- Are you available tonight?
- --- I'm afraid not.
-
虚拟语气中if及should的省略。
1)当条件状语从句中有were,had,should时省略if,把它们提至句首,形成倒装句。
- If I were a teacher, I would be strict with my students. → Were I a teacher, I would be strict with my students.
2)suggest,Insist,require,order等表示建议、要求、命令的动词后接的从句中,谓语动词常用 “should + 动词原形” 结构,should可以省略。
- The doctor suggested that he (should) try to lose weight.
-
日常交际中的省略。
在情景会话中,答语常常省略不会引起歧义的主语、谓语或宾语部分,而只保留对方希望了解的内容。
- --- How many copies do you want?
- --- (I want) Three copies, please.
- --- Have you ever been to the Great Wall?
- --- No, (I have) never (been to the Great Wall).
