⑸ 高中英語簡單句詳細講解
(一)句子種類兩種分類法w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
1、按句子的用途可分四種:
1)陳述句(肯定、否定):He is six years old; She didn』t hear of you before.
2)疑問句(一般、特殊、選擇、反意):Do they like skating? How old is he? Is he six or seven years old? Mary can swim, can』t she?
3)祈使句:Be careful, boys; Don』t talk in class
4)感嘆句:How clever the boy is!
2、按句子的結構可分三種:
1)簡單句:只有一個主語(或並列主語)和一個謂語(或並列謂語)。
e. g. He often reads English in the morning.
Tom and Mike are American boys.
She likes drawing and often draws pictures for the wall newspapers.
2) 並列句:由並列連詞(and, but, or等)或分號(;)把兩個或兩個以上的簡單句連在一起構成。
e. g. You help him and he helps you.
The future is bright; the road is tortuous. 前途是光明的,道路是曲折的。
3)復合句:含有一個或一個以上從句的句子。復合句包含:名詞性從句(主語從句、賓語從句、表語從句和同位語從句)、定語從句和狀語從句等。
e. g. The foreign visitors took a lot of pictures when they were at the Great Wall.
(二)簡單句的五種基本句型
1、主語+系動詞+表語:e. g. He is a student.
2、主語+不及物動詞:e. g. We work.
3、主語+及物動詞+賓語:e. g. Henry bought a dictionary.
4、主語+及物動詞+雙賓語(間接賓語+直接賓語):e. g. My father bought me a car.
5、主語+及物動詞+復合賓語(賓語+賓補):e. g. Tom made the baby laugh.
註:其他各種句子都可由這一種基本句型擴展、變化或省略而構成。
主語——動詞——表語:w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
在這一句型中,動詞是系動詞,劃線部分為表語。
1. Mr. Brown is an engineer. (名詞作表語)
2. Graaly he became silent. (形容詞作表語)
3. She remained standing for a hour. (現在分詞作表語)
4. The question remained unsolved. (過去分詞作表語)
5. The machine is out of order. (介詞短語作表語)
6. The television was on. (副詞作表語)
7. His plan is to keep the affair secret. (動詞不定式作表語)
8. My job is repairing cars. (動名詞作表語)
9. The question is what you want to do. (從句作表語,即:表語從句)
注意:在下面的句子中,形容詞作表語,在表語的後面常常接不定式結構。
I』m happy to meet you.
They are willing to help.
We are determined to follow his example.
主語——動詞:
在這一句型中,動詞為不及物動詞及不及物的動詞片語。在有的句子中,不及物動詞可以有狀語修飾。
1. The sun is rising.
2. I』ll try.
3. Did you sleep well?(well做狀語,修飾不及物動詞sleep)
4. The engine broke down.
注意:在此句型中,有少數不及物動詞表達被動含義,表達主語本身所具有的特性,不用被動語態。
1. The book sells well.
2. The window won』t shut.
3. The pen writes smoothly.
4. Cheese cuts easily.
主語——動詞——賓語:w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
在此句型中,動詞為及物動詞,劃線部分為賓語。
1. Do you know these people (them)?(名詞或代詞作賓語)
2. I can』t express myself in English. (反身代詞作賓語)
3. He smiled a strange smile. (同源賓語)
4. We can』t afford to pay such a price. (不定式作賓語)
5. Would you mind waiting a few minutes?(動名詞作賓語)
6. I hope that I have said nothing to pain you. (從句作賓語,即:賓語從句)
注意:並不是所有的及物動詞都可以接上述各種情況作賓語,不同的動詞有不同的用法,所以,在學習動詞時,一定要掌握其用法。
主語——動詞——賓語——賓語:
在此句型中,動詞可以稱作雙賓語動詞,在英語中,這樣的動詞並不多,在學習中遇到時,要牢記。後面的賓語為間接賓語和直接賓語,其中,間接賓語在前,一般表人,直接賓語在後,一般表物。這類句型有三種情況。
第一種情況,間接賓語可以改為由to引導的短語。
1. He handed me a letter.
He handed a letter to me.
2. She gave me her telephone number.
She gave her telephone number to me.
第二種情況,間接賓語可以改為由for引導的短語。
3. She sang us a folk song.
She sang a folk for us.
4. She cooked us a delicious meal.
She cooked a delicious meal for us.
第三種情況,直接賓語可以由賓語從句充當。
5. Tell him I』m out.
6. Can you inform me where Miss Green lives?
主語——動詞——賓語——賓語補足語:
在此句型中的動詞,叫做可以跟復合賓語的動詞,在英語中,這樣的動詞也不多。後面的賓語補足語是說明賓語的情況的,賓語和賓語補足語一起被稱作復合賓語。這個句式是英語中比較復雜的一個句式,因為復合賓語的構成內容較多。下面句子中劃線部分為賓語補足語。w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
1. He found his new job boring. (形容詞作賓補)
2. The called their daughter Mary. (名詞作賓補)
3. This placed her in a very difficult position. (介詞短語作賓補)
4. We went to here house but found her out. (副詞作賓補)
5. What do you advise me to do?(不定式作賓補)
6. We thought him to be an honest man. (tobe作賓補)
7. He believed them to have discussed the problem. (不定式的完成式作賓補)
8. He believed her to be telling the truth. (不定式的進行式作賓補)
9. Did you notice him come in?(不帶to的不定式作賓補)
10. I saw her chatting with Nancy. (現在分詞作賓補)
11. He watched the piano carried upstairs. (過去分詞作賓補)
注意:在這個結構中,可以出現用it作形式上的賓語,把真正的賓語放在賓語補足語的後面。在此結構中,賓語常常是動詞不定式或賓語從句。
1. He felt it his ty to mention this to her.
分析:it是形式賓語,his ty是賓語補足語,to mention this to her是真正的賓語。
2. I think it best that you should stay with us.
分析:it是形式賓語,best是賓語補足語,that you should stay with us是真正的賓語。
3. there be句型是一種特殊的句子,真正的主語在後面,含義為「有……」
①謂語動詞和主語保持一致:There is a television in the sitting room.
②有兩個或更多的主語時,動詞一般和最近的一個保持一致:There are two girls and a boy dancing in the hall.
③主語的後面有時有修飾語:There are a lot of difficulties facing us. There were many things to be done(此處也可以使用to do).
④謂語動詞be可以有時態的變化:There will be a concert in the park tonight. There was little change in him.
⑤謂語也可以有不定式構成的復合謂語。w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
There used to be a cinema here.
There seems to be something the matter with her.
Is there going to be any activity tonight?
⑥there be句式變疑問句,把be提前;變反意疑問句也要藉助there。
Is there any hope of getting the job?
There is nothing wrong with your watch,is there?
⑦there be句型中也可以使用諸如:live,follow,come,stand,sit,exist等不及物動詞:
Once upon a time,there lived a fisherman on the island.
There came a knock at the door.
At the top of the hill there stands an old temple.
⑧用於非謂語的情況下,有時用不定式的復合結構there to be或動名詞的復合結構和獨立主格結構there being:
You wouldn』t want there to be another war. (不定式的復合結構)
The teacher was satisfied with there being no mistakes in his homework. (動名詞的復合結構)
There being nothing else to do,we went home. (獨立主格結構)
⑹ 高中英語,單句改錯,急
heat changes water into steam-科學事實用一般現在時
under the direcion of our teacher, we have made great progress recently
his family is going to have a long journey -family作為一個家庭講是單數
l can't bear your playing basketball on the playground-bear後面接動名詞
my mother tried to compose herself-try與 make an effort 重復
have you ever been here? and if have how many times? -來過這版里才能接著問來了權幾次
as is known to us,great changes have taken placein China-as is known to us的用法
⑺ 高中英語單句改錯,5個,非常感謝!!!
1 be related to
2 過去時 不能用is 應該是 was
3 who 感覺是多餘的
4 of 的位置不對 應在the class 前面
5 lying 改成 lied 僅供參考 不一定對哦
⑻ 高中英語簡單句的寫作,有哪五種基本句型
英語中的五種基本句型結構
一、句型1: Subject (主語) + Verb (謂語)
這種句型中的動詞大多是不及物動詞,所謂不及物動詞,就是這種動詞後不可以直接接賓語。常見的動詞如:work, sing, swim, fish, jump, arrive, come, die, disappear, cry, happen等。如:
1) Li Ming works very hard.李明學習很努力。
2) The accident happened yesterday afternoon.事故是昨天下午發生的。
3)Spring is coming.
4) We have lived in the city for ten years.
二、句型2:Subject (主語) + Link. V(系動詞) + Predicate(表語)
這種句型主要用來表示主語的特點、身份等。其系動詞一般可分為下列兩類:
(1)表示狀態。這樣的詞有:be, look, seem, smell, taste, sound, keep等。如:
1) This kind of food tastes delicious.這種食物吃起來很可口。
2) He looked worried just now.剛才他看上去有些焦急。
(2)表示變化。這類系動詞有:become, turn, get, grow, go等。如:
1) Spring comes. It is getting warmer and warmer.春天到了,天氣變得越來越暖和。
2) The tree has grown much taller than before.這棵樹比以前長得高多了。
三、句型3:Subject(主語) + Verb (謂語) + Object (賓語)
這種句型中的動詞一般為及物動詞, 所謂及物動詞,就是這種動詞後可以直接接賓語,其賓語通常由名詞、代詞、動詞不定式、動名詞或從句等來充當。例:
1) He took his bag and left.(名詞) 他拿著書包離開了。
2) Li Lei always helps me when I have difficulties. (代詞)當我遇到困難時,李雷總能給我幫助。
3) She plans to travel in the coming May Day.(不定式)她打算在即將到來的「五一」外出旅遊。
4) I don』t know what I should do next. (從句)我不知道下一步該干什麼。
注意:英語中的許多動詞既是及物動詞,又是不及物動詞。
四、句型4: Subject(主語)+Verb(謂語)+ Indirect object(間接賓語)+Direct object (直接賓語)
這種句型中,直接賓語為主要賓語,表示動作是對誰做的或為誰做的,在句中不可或缺,常常由表示「物」的名詞來充當;間接賓語也被稱之為第二賓語,去掉之後,對整個句子的影響不大,多由指「人」的名詞或代詞承擔。引導這類雙賓語的常見動詞有:buy, pass, lend, give, tell, teach, show, bring, send等。如:
1) Her father bought her a dictionary as a birthday present.她爸爸給她買了一本詞典作為生日禮物。
2)The old man always tells the children stories about the heroes in the Long March.
老人經常給孩子們講述長征途中那些英雄的故事。 上述句子還可以表達為:
1)Her father bought a dictionary for her as a birthday present.
2)The old man always tells stories about the heroes to the children in the Long March.
五、句型5: Subject(主語)+Verb (動詞)+Object (賓語)+Complement(補語)
這種句型中的「賓語 + 補語」統稱為「復合賓語」。賓語補足語的主要作用或者是補充、說明賓語的特點、身份等;或者表示讓賓語去完成的動作等。擔任補語的常常是名詞、形容詞、副詞、介詞短語、分詞、動詞不定式等。如:
1)You should keep the room clean and tidy. 你應該讓屋子保持干凈整潔。(形容詞)
2) We made him our monitor.(名詞)我們選他當班長。
3) His father told him not to play in the street.(不定式)他父親告訴他不要在街上玩。
4)My father likes to watch the boys playing basketball.(現在分詞)
5) Yesterday I had a picture taken with two Americans.(過去分詞)
● 常見的動詞有: tell, ask, advise, help, want, would like, order, force, allow等。
● 注意:動詞have, make, let, see, hear, notice, feel, watch等後面所接的動詞不定式作賓補時,不帶to。如:
1) The boss made him do the work all day.老闆讓他整天做那項工作。
2) I heard her sing in the next room all the time last night.昨天晚上我聽見她在隔壁唱了一個晚上。
獨立主格結構
一) 獨立主格結構的構成:
名詞(代詞)+現在分詞、過去分詞;
名詞(代詞)+形容詞;
名詞(代詞)+副詞;
名詞(代詞)+不定式;
名詞(代詞) +介詞短語構成。
二) 獨立主格結構的特點:
1)獨立主格結構的邏輯主語與句子的主語不同,它獨立存在。
2)名詞或代詞與後面的分詞,形容詞,副詞,不定 式,介詞等是主謂關系。
3)獨立主格結構一般有逗號與主句分開。
舉例:
The test finished, we began our holiday.
= When the test was finished, we began our holiday.
考試結束了,我們開始放假。
The president assassinated, the whole country was in deep sorrow.
= After the president was assassinated, the whole country was in deep sorrow.
總統被謀殺了,舉國上下沉浸在悲哀之中。
Weather permitting, we are going to visit you tomorrow.
如果天氣允許,我們明天去看你。
This done, we went home.
工作完成後,我們才回家。
The meeting gone over, everyone tired to go home earlier.
會議結束後,每個人都想早點回家。
He came into the room, his ears red with cold.
他回到了房子里,耳朵凍壞了。
He came out of the library, a large book under his arm.
他夾著本厚書,走出了圖書館。
三) With的復合結構作獨立主格
表伴隨時,既可用分詞的獨立結構,也可用with的復合結構。
with +名詞(代詞)+現在分詞/過去分詞/形容詞/副詞/不定式/介詞短語
舉例: He stood there, his hand raised.
= He stood there, with his hand raise.
典型例題
The murder was brought in, with his hands ___ behind his back。
A. being tied B. having tiedC. to be tiedD. tied
答案D. with +名詞(代詞)+分詞+介詞短語結構。當分詞表示伴隨狀況時,其主語常常用with來引導。由於本句中名詞"手"與分詞"綁"是被動關系,因此用過去分詞,選D.
注意:
1) 獨立主格結構使用介詞的問題:
當介詞是in時,其前後的兩個名詞均不加任何成分(如物主代詞或冠詞),也不用復數。但 with 的復合結構不受此限制
A robber burst into the room, knife in hand.
( hand前不能加his)。
2) 當表人體部位的詞做邏輯主語時,及物動詞用現在分 詞,不及物動詞用過去分詞。
He lay there, his teeth set, his hand clenched, his eyes looking straight up.
典型例題:
Weather___, we'll go out for a walk.
A permitted B permitting C permits D for permitting
答案B. 本題中沒有連詞,它不是復合句,也不是並列句。 句中使用了逗號,且we 小寫,可知其不是兩個簡單句。能夠這樣使用的只有獨立主格或with的復合結構。據此判斷,本句中使用的是獨立結構,其結構為:名詞+分詞。 由於permit在這里翻譯為'天氣允許',表主動,應用現在分詞,故選B。
如果不會判斷獨立結構作狀語的形式,不妨將句子改為條件句,例如本句改為If weather permits, we'll go out for a walk. 然後將if 去掉,再將謂語動詞改為非謂語動詞即可。
不能「以貌取意」的常見句型例析
1.This is the last thing I would ever want to do.
這是我最不願做的一件事情。
【析】「the last +to do;the last +定語從句」中的last的意思為「least willing/likely」,譯為「最不願意;最不可能」。
He's the last man I want to see.他是我最不想見的人。
He is the last person to tell a lie.他是最不可能撒謊的人。
She's the last woman I want to sit next to at dinner.她是我在宴會上最不願與之挨著坐的女人。
2.One can't be too honest.
人越老實越好。
【析】句中「cannot...too...」意為「無論怎樣……也不過分」或「越……越好」。該句型中的not可以換成 hardly,never或scarcely;too可以換成 over或enough等,意思不變。
You cannot be too careful.You cannot be over careful.=You cannot be careful enough.你越仔細越好。
A man can never have too many friends.朋友越多越好。
3.It's a wise man that never makes mistakes.
無論多麼聰明的人,也難免犯錯誤。
【析】「It is a +形容詞+名詞+that...」結構是一個特殊的習慣用法,意思是「無論怎樣的……也不……」。真正的句子意思與字面意思相反,它具有含蓄的讓步意味,切不可望文生義、譯成強調句型。
It's a long lane that has no turning.無論怎樣長的巷子也有轉彎處。(引申意義為:耐心等待終會時來運轉。)
It's a good horse that never stumbles.再好的馬也有失前蹄的時候。(引申意義為:金無足赤,人無完人。)
4I'm too anxious to know the result.
我極想知道結果。
【析】英語中「too...to...」結構表示「太……以致不」的意思。例如:The star is too small to see.但是,如果too後形容詞表示主語的狀態、心理活動、情感態度(常見的有glad,easy,ready,anxious,eager, willing,happy等),並與其後的不定式構成固定搭配,這時too含有肯定意義,表示「very,extremely」的意思。
They are too anxious to leave.他們急於離去。
Mr.Smith was too eager to see her.史密斯先生極想見到她。
5.It's three years since he was a teacher.
他不當教師已經三年了。
【析】在「It is some time since +主語+謂語+其它成分。」這一結構中,如果從句謂語動詞是非延續性動詞,那麼時間的計算就從該動作的發生開始算起。
It『s three years since he joined the army.他參軍已經三年了。
如果從句謂語動詞是延續性動詞,時間就要從該動作的結束算起。
It's many years since they lived here.他們不在這兒住已經好多年了。
6.All that glitters is not gold.
閃光的東西不一定都是金子。
【析】在句中當不定代詞all,both,every及 every的復合詞,副詞always,often,entirely與 not一起使用時,表示部分否定,意思是「並非都是」,「不是每個人都」等。
I don't remember all these formulas.這些公式我並非全都記得。
Every man cannot do it.並非每個人都能做這個。
I don't entirely agree with you.我並不完全同意你的看法。
注意:當all,both,every等詞和帶im-,in-,un-,dis-等表示否定意義的前綴的詞連用時,表示全部否定的意義。
All your answers are incorrect.你所有的答案都不正確。
表示全部否定時,我們常使用no,not,nobody,nothing,never,nowhere,neither等詞。
None of the teachers smoke.這些老師都不抽煙。
7.The mountain is not valuable because it is high.
山並不因為高而具有價值。(山不在高)
【析】含有原因狀語從句的主從復合句,形式上雖然否定主句的謂語,然而意義上則是否定該原因狀語,譯為「並不因為……而……」。
You cannot walk away just because someone tells you he doesn't want to buy.你不能僅僅因為他告訴你不買就走開。
Galileo was not ready to accept it just because Aristotle had said so.伽利略並不只是因為亞里斯多德說過某事如何如何,就輕易相信它。
8.I didn't pretend to understand what he said.
我假裝沒懂他說的話。
【析】常用動詞pretend,happen的否定形式有兩種:既可以否定pretend,也可以否定其後的不定式,其意義不變。
I didn't happen to be there.=I happened not to be there.我恰巧不在那兒。
They didn't pretend to see me when I went by.=They pretended not to see me when I went by.當我經過的時候,他們假裝沒有看見我。
9Let's have a rest under the big tree. It's nice and cool here.
讓我們在大樹下歇會吧。這兒很涼快。
【析】nice and,good and都表示「很,非常,完全」的意思。and前的形容詞實質上起副詞作用,修飾後邊的形容詞,表示強調。
I am good and ready.我都准備好了。
It is good and cold in the morning.早上非常冷。
獨立主格結構
一) 獨立主格結構的構成:
名詞(代詞)+現在分詞、過去分詞;
名詞(代詞)+形容詞;
名詞(代詞)+副詞;
名詞(代詞)+不定式;
名詞(代詞) +介詞短語構成。
二) 獨立主格結構的特點:
1)獨立主格結構的邏輯主語與句子的主語不同,它獨立存在。
2)名詞或代詞與後面的分詞,形容詞,副詞,不定 式,介詞等是主謂關系。
3)獨立主格結構一般有逗號與主句分開。
舉例:
The test finished, we began our holiday.
= When the test was finished, we began our holiday.
考試結束了,我們開始放假。
The president assassinated, the whole country was in deep sorrow.
= After the president was assassinated, the whole country was in deep sorrow.
總統被謀殺了,舉國上下沉浸在悲哀之中。
Weather permitting, we are going to visit you tomorrow.
如果天氣允許,我們明天去看你。
This done, we went home.
工作完成後,我們才回家。
The meeting gone over, everyone tired to go home earlier.
會議結束後,每個人都想早點回家。
He came into the room, his ears red with cold.
他回到了房子里,耳朵凍壞了。
He came out of the library, a large book under his arm.
他夾著本厚書,走出了圖書館。
三) With的復合結構作獨立主格
表伴隨時,既可用分詞的獨立結構,也可用with的復合結構。
with +名詞(代詞)+現在分詞/過去分詞/形容詞/副詞/不定式/介詞短語
舉例: He stood there, his hand raised.
= He stood there, with his hand raise.
典型例題
The murder was brought in, with his hands ___ behind his back。
A. being tied B. having tiedC. to be tiedD. tied
答案D. with +名詞(代詞)+分詞+介詞短語結構。當分詞表示伴隨狀況時,其主語常常用with來引導。由於本句中名詞"手"與分詞"綁"是被動關系,因此用過去分詞,選D.
注意:
1) 獨立主格結構使用介詞的問題:
當介詞是in時,其前後的兩個名詞均不加任何成分(如物主代詞或冠詞),也不用復數。但 with 的復合結構不受此限制
A robber burst into the room, knife in hand.
( hand前不能加his)。
2) 當表人體部位的詞做邏輯主語時,及物動詞用現在分 詞,不及物動詞用過去分詞。
He lay there, his teeth set, his hand clenched, his eyes looking straight up.
典型例題:
Weather___, we'll go out for a walk.
A permitted B permitting C permits D for permitting
答案B. 本題中沒有連詞,它不是復合句,也不是並列句。 句中使用了逗號,且we 小寫,可知其不是兩個簡單句。能夠這樣使用的只有獨立主格或with的復合結構。據此判斷,本句中使用的是獨立結構, 其結構為:名詞+分詞。 由於permit在這里翻譯為'天氣允許',表主動,應用現在分詞,故選B。
如果不會判斷獨立結構作狀語的形式,不妨將句子改為條件句,例如本句改為If weather permits, we'll go out for a walk. 然後將if 去掉,再將謂語動詞改為非謂語動詞即可。
不能「以貌取意」的常見句型例析
1.This is the last thing I would ever want to do.
這是我最不願做的一件事情。
【析】「the last +to do;the last +定語從句」中的last的意思為「least willing/likely」,譯為「最不願意;最不可能」。
He's the last man I want to see.他是我最不想見的人。
He is the last person to tell a lie.他是最不可能撒謊的人。
She's the last woman I want to sit next to at dinner.她是我在宴會上最不願與之挨著坐的女人。
2.One can't be too honest.
人越老實越好。
【析】句中「cannot...too...」意為「無論怎樣……也不過分」或「越……越好」。該句型中的not可以換成 hardly,never或scarcely;too可以換成 over或enough等,意思不變。
You cannot be too careful.You cannot be over careful.=You cannot be careful enough.你越仔細越好。
A man can never have too many friends.朋友越多越好。
3.It's a wise man that never makes mistakes.
無論多麼聰明的人,也難免犯錯誤。
【析】「It is a +形容詞+名詞+that...」結構是一個特殊的習慣用法,意思是「無論怎樣的……也不……」。真正的句子意思與字面意思相反,它具有含蓄的讓步意味,切不可望文生義、譯成強調句型。
It's a long lane that has no turning.無論怎樣長的巷子也有轉彎處。(引申意義為:耐心等待終會時來運轉。)
It's a good horse that never stumbles.再好的馬也有失前蹄的時候。(引申意義為:金無足赤,人無完人。)
4I'm too anxious to know the result.
我極想知道結果。
【析】英語中「too...to...」結構表示「太……以致不」的意思。例如:The star is too small to see.但是,如果too後形容詞表示主語的狀態、心理活動、情感態度(常見的有glad,easy,ready,anxious,eager, willing,happy等),並與其後的不定式構成固定搭配,這時too含有肯定意義,表示「very,extremely」的意思。
They are too anxious to leave.他們急於離去。
Mr.Smith was too eager to see her.史密斯先生極想見到她。
5.It's three years since he was a teacher.

It『s three years since he joined the army.他參軍已經三年了。

Every man cannot do it.並非每個人都能做這個。
I don't entirely agree with you.我並不完全同意你的看法。
注意:當all,both,every等詞和帶im-,in-,un-,dis-等表示否定意義的前綴的詞連用時,表示全部否定的意義。
All your answers are incorrect.你所有的答案都不正確。
表示全部否定時,我們常使用no,not,nobody,nothing,never,nowhere,neither等詞。
