1. 英语写作中常见的几种句型
英语写作中常见的十二种句型
such+名词性词组+that…
so+形容词/副词+that…——如此……以致……

注意点:
1.such+a+形容词+名词+that…,可以改写成:so+形容词+a+名词+that…,例句(1)可以改写成:she is so good a teacher that we all love her.
2.在such+形容词+名词复数或不可数名词+that…结构中,形容词如果是many/few或much/little时,用so不用such,即:so+many/few+可数名词复数+that…,so+much/little+不可数名词+that…
(1)there are so many people in the room that i can’t get in.房间里人太多,我进不去。
(2)the man has so much money that he can buy a car.那人很有钱,他能买一辆小汽车。

注意点:当这几个句型连接主语时,谓语动词的人称和数要考虑“就近原则”,对比both…and… 来记忆,both…and…连接主语时视为复数。
句型(三)enough+名词+to do…——有足够的……做某事
形容词/副词+enough+to do …——足够……做某事
例如:(1)there is enough room to hold these people to have a meeting.有足够的地方容下这些人开会。
(2)the boy is strong enough to carry the heavy box.这个男孩力气够大,能搬动这只箱子。

4. 英文写作中常用的基本句式有哪些
上面各位的回答都不错,我给你找的是专门针对考研用的,因为看你的年纪应该不是为了考四六级这么简单了吧。
写作是语言的重要环节,看看英语考试中对作文的重视就明白了。在考研中,写作意义极其重大,其性价比(即投入的时间和提高的幅度)非常高,在我看来,如果你的阅读水平还可以的话,写作将是你的突破口。
提高写作只有一个字——“恒”,绝对的熟能生巧。我在网上看过高手写的文章,简直可以用恐怖来形容,完全是阅读理解的水平,而作者的诀窍就是每天写每天练!只要不断的写不断的改,你的文章会让你自己吃惊。套用一句:写作恒久远,练习永流传。
然而备考的时间是很紧的,不可能每天保持大量的练习,好在其要求也不高,从现在开始,到考前完全可以达到要求,但千万不要间断!很多同学都有一个情况,越不写,越怕写;越怕写,越不写。万事开头难,所以开始的练习尤为重要,而练习应以词句为主+阅读好文章,我就有一本记录本,专门收集好的词句,效果很好。这里列其中一些较简单实用的,希望能对大家有所帮助(不过,建议同学们最好自己写,自己收集,印象会深很多,每天花10分钟过过,绝对值得。另外,我列的句子很有限,多半是骨架,大家要学会扩展,并且在记忆的时候多联想一下。举例来说,一篇你的文章,用心改一下,好好套用几个句式,改些档次较高的词和词组,可以提高不少哦):

另外,文章结尾也很重要,它的作用是概括全文内容,进一步强调或肯定文章的中心思想,使文章意义表达得更加深刻。
文章结尾的形式也是多种多样的,常见的有以下几种:
1.首尾呼应,画龙点睛
在文章的结尾,把含义较深的话放在末尾,以点明主题,深化主题,起到画龙点睛的效果。如"I Cannot Forget Her"
(我忘不了她)的结尾:
After her death, I felt as if something were missing in my life. I was sad over her passing away, but I knew
she would not have had any regrets at having given her life for the benefit of the people.
2.重复主题句
结尾回到文章开头阐明的中心思想或主题句上,达到强调的效果。如“I Love My Home Town”(我爱家乡)的结尾:
I love my home town, and I love its people. They too have changed. They are going all out to do more for
the good of our motherland.
3. 自然结尾
随着文章的结束,文章自然而然地结尾。如“Fishing”(钓鱼)的结尾:
I caught as many as twenty fish in two hours, but my brother caught many more. Tired from fishing, we lay
down on the river bank, bathing in the sun. We returned home very late.
4.含蓄性的结尾
用比喻或含蓄的手法不直接点明作者的看法,而是让读者自己去领会和思考。如“A Day of Harvesting”(收割的日子)的结尾:
Evening came before we realized it. We put down our sickles and looked at each other. Our clothes were
wet with sweat, but on every face there was a smile.
5.用反问结尾
虽然形式是问句,但意义却是肯定的,并具有特别的强调作用,引起读者深思。如 "Should We Learn to Do Housework?" (我们要不要学做家务?) 的结尾。
Everyone should learn to do housework. Don’t you agree, boys and girls?
6.指明方向,激励读者
结尾表示对将来的展望,或期待读者投入行动。如“Let’s Go in for Sports”(让我们参加体育运动)的结尾:
As we have said above, sports can be of great value. They not only make people live happily but also help
people to learn virtues and do their work bettter. A sound mind is in a sound body. Let’s go in for sports.
文章的结尾没有一定的模式,可以根据表达主题的需要灵活创造。一般的习惯是,一些记叙文和描写文经常采用自然结尾的方法;但说理性和逻辑性较强的说明文和议论文则往往都有结束语,以便使文章首尾呼应,结构完整。
5. 如何写好英语作文有什么常见的句型短语及高级词汇
. 动笔之前,认真审题
《中考考试说明》指出,书面表达要切中题意。怎样才能切中题意?就是要认真审题,看到考题后,先不要急于动笔,要仔细看清题目要求的内容。在自己的头脑中构思出一个框架或画面,确定短文的中心思想,不要匆匆下笔,看懂题意,根据图画、图表、提纲或短文提供的资料和信息来审题。审题要审格式、体裁、人物关系、故事情节、主体时态、活动时间、地点等。
2. 围绕中心,拟定提纲
书面表达评分原则有四条:
(1)内容要点;
(2)运用词汇和结构的数量;
(3)运用语法结构和词汇的准确性;
(4)上下文的连贯性。
由此可见,要点是给分的一个重要因素。为了防止写作过程中遗漏要点,同学们要充分发挥自己的观察力,把情景中给出的各个要点逐条列出。根据短文的中心思想考虑如何开头、展开和结尾,设想几个承上启下的连词,将主要句型、关键词语草草记下,形成提纲,写时切忌结构分散,废话连篇,严重跑题。书面表达,内容广泛,题材多样,要弄清考题的要求是写人、叙事、介绍、评论、图表、书信、日记、通知、便条还是看图作文或改写缩写。如果是日记,要写清年、月、日和天气情况;如果是书信,则要注意书信的格式,注意短文字数不要低于或超过规定的字数太多。
3. 语言通顺,表达准确
(1) 避免使用汉语式英语,尽量使用自己熟悉的句型。几种句型可交替使用,以避免重复和呆板。
(2) 多用简单句型,记事、写人一般都不需要复杂的句型。可适当多使用陈述句、一般疑问句、祈使句和感叹句。不用或少用非谓语或情态动词等较复杂的句型。
(3).注意语法、句法知识的灵活运用。
1) 语态、时态要准确无误。
2) 主谓语要一致,主语的人称和数要和谓语一致。
3) 注意人称代词的宾格形式。
4) 注意冠词用法,例如: He is an honest student.中的an不能写成a。
5) 注意拼写、标点符号和大小写,例如:receive, believe, fourteen, forty, ninth, restaurant等。
标点符号特别注意汉英的不同,例如:
汉语 英语
A. 句号 。 .
B. 省略号 …… …
C. 顿号 、 无
(4) 描写人物时,要生动具体,例如:
1) 外表特征:tall, short, fat, thin, strong, weak, ordinary-looking 等。
2) 服饰颜色:red, yellow, blue, white, green, brown, black 等。
3) 内心境界:glad, happy, sad, excited, anxious, interested 等。
4) 感情描写:love, like, hate, feel, laugh, cry, smile, shout 等。
5) 动作描写:come, go, get, have, take, bring, fetch 等。
(5) 上下文要连贯。上下文的连贯性也是评分的一条原则,因此同学们应把写好的句子,根据故事情节,事情发生的先后次序(时间或空间),使用一些表示并列、递进等过渡词进行加工整理,使文章连贯、自然、流畅。同学们应注意下面过渡的用法:
1) 表示并列关系的过渡词:and, as well as, or …
2) 表示转折关系的过渡词:but, yet, however …
3) 表示时间关系的过渡词:first, second, third, and then, finally, after, before, after a few days, at last, at that time, later, in the past, immediately, in the meanwhile, when, while, then, after that …
4) 表示空间关系的过渡词:near (to), far (from), in the front of, beside, behind, beyond, above, below, to the right, to the left, on one side, on the other side of, outside …
5) 表示比较关系的过渡词:in the same way, just like, just as …
6) 表示对照关系的过渡词:but, still, yet, however, on the other hand, in spite of, even though …
7) 表示递进关系的过渡词: also, and, then, too, in addition, moreover, again …
8) 表示因果关系的过渡词:because, since, then, thus, otherwise, so, therefore ,as a result…
9) 表示解释说明的过渡词:for example, in fact, in this case, for, actually …
10) 表示强调的过渡词:in fact, indeed, necessarily, certainly, without any doubt, truly, most important …
11) 表示目的的过渡词:for this reason, for this purpose, so that, in order that, so as to, in order to, …
12) 表示列举的过渡词:for example , such as …
13) 表示总结性的过渡词:in conclusion, finally, at last, in brief, as has been stated, in a word, in general, in all, in a word, generally speaking …
4. 不会表达,另辟蹊径
中考作文给分是以要点和语言准确度而定,不以文采打分。造句越简单准确越好,造复合句容易出错,容易被扣分,阅卷场上有句话:“错误面前人人平等,文采好不加分”。如遇到个别要点表达不出来或难以表达,可采用变通的办法,化难为易,化繁为简。总之,所造句子要正确、得体、符合英语表达习惯。
(1) 迂回而行
当汉语词义不会用英语表达时,可以想一个与这个汉语词义相似的几种词义。扩展思路,然后从英语中找出一个与其词义相近的代替。这样可有异曲同工之妙。
(2) 小词大用
汉语中有些语意看来很复杂很文雅,但在英语中可用一些常用词表达。下面这些词可能在你的书面表达中很有用:take, have, get, make, come, go, do, see, show, happy, nice, kind, help 等。
(3) 借花献佛
有时书面表达中需要的单词或词组或许在试卷中的其他地方出现。因为刚刚做过题,记忆犹新,那么就可信手拈来,为我所用。
5. 锦上添花,量力而行
如果你还有时间和精力,想把书面表达写得更好,那么,请注意以下几点:
(1) 句型多样化,不要I(We)……到底,使人觉得乏味。
(2) 适当使用一些并列句或主从复合句。
(3) 进一步描绘人或事物时,适当使用定语从句。
(4) 适当使用分词或分词短语,烘托谓语动词。
(5) 偶尔使用一下倒装句,增加新鲜感。
(6) 适当调换一下状语在句子中的位置,使句子不雷同。
(7) 上下句子紧接时,其中完全相同的成分可以省略,以节省篇幅。
6. 书写工整,卷面整洁
字迹要清晰,让阅卷人看得清楚,不可字迹潦草,难以辨认,要保持卷面的整洁。
7. 写完之后,勿忘检查
中考作文时,由于时间紧、内容多,同学们出错在所难免。因此,改错这一环节必不可少。中考作文评卷是根据要点、语言准确性、上下文的连贯性来给分,根据错误多少来扣分。因此,中考时花几分钟时间用来检查错误显得尤为重要。检查错误应从以下几个方面入手:
(1) 格式是否有错。
(2) 拼写有无错误。
(3) 语言是否用错。
(4) 时态、语态错误。
(5) 标点错误。
(6) 人称是否用错。
【注意】此时不宜在卷面上作较大的改动,以免顾此失彼,影响全局。
总之,只要平时同学们多练习写作并有意运用上述方法和技巧,合理分配时间,在中考时一定能写出高质量的作文,得到令人满意的考分

9. 高中英语简单句的写作,有哪五种基本句型
英语中的五种基本句型结构
一、句型1: Subject (主语) + Verb (谓语)
这种句型中的动词大多是不及物动词,所谓不及物动词,就是这种动词后不可以直接接宾语。常见的动词如:work, sing, swim, fish, jump, arrive, come, die, disappear, cry, happen等。如:
1) Li Ming works very hard.李明学习很努力。
2) The accident happened yesterday afternoon.事故是昨天下午发生的。
3)Spring is coming.
4) We have lived in the city for ten years.
二、句型2:Subject (主语) + Link. V(系动词) + Predicate(表语)
这种句型主要用来表示主语的特点、身份等。其系动词一般可分为下列两类:
(1)表示状态。这样的词有:be, look, seem, smell, taste, sound, keep等。如:
1) This kind of food tastes delicious.这种食物吃起来很可口。
2) He looked worried just now.刚才他看上去有些焦急。
(2)表示变化。这类系动词有:become, turn, get, grow, go等。如:
1) Spring comes. It is getting warmer and warmer.春天到了,天气变得越来越暖和。
2) The tree has grown much taller than before.这棵树比以前长得高多了。
三、句型3:Subject(主语) + Verb (谓语) + Object (宾语)
这种句型中的动词一般为及物动词, 所谓及物动词,就是这种动词后可以直接接宾语,其宾语通常由名词、代词、动词不定式、动名词或从句等来充当。例:
1) He took his bag and left.(名词) 他拿着书包离开了。
2) Li Lei always helps me when I have difficulties. (代词)当我遇到困难时,李雷总能给我帮助。
3) She plans to travel in the coming May Day.(不定式)她打算在即将到来的“五一”外出旅游。
4) I don’t know what I should do next. (从句)我不知道下一步该干什么。
注意:英语中的许多动词既是及物动词,又是不及物动词。
四、句型4: Subject(主语)+Verb(谓语)+ Indirect object(间接宾语)+Direct object (直接宾语)
这种句型中,直接宾语为主要宾语,表示动作是对谁做的或为谁做的,在句中不可或缺,常常由表示“物”的名词来充当;间接宾语也被称之为第二宾语,去掉之后,对整个句子的影响不大,多由指“人”的名词或代词承担。引导这类双宾语的常见动词有:buy, pass, lend, give, tell, teach, show, bring, send等。如:
1) Her father bought her a dictionary as a birthday present.她爸爸给她买了一本词典作为生日礼物。
2)The old man always tells the children stories about the heroes in the Long March.
老人经常给孩子们讲述长征途中那些英雄的故事。 上述句子还可以表达为:
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(主语)+Verb (动词)+Object (宾语)+Complement(补语)
这种句型中的“宾语 + 补语”统称为“复合宾语”。宾语补足语的主要作用或者是补充、说明宾语的特点、身份等;或者表示让宾语去完成的动作等。担任补语的常常是名词、形容词、副词、介词短语、分词、动词不定式等。如:
1)You should keep the room clean and tidy. 你应该让屋子保持干净整洁。(形容词)
2) We made him our monitor.(名词)我们选他当班长。
3) His father told him not to play in the street.(不定式)他父亲告诉他不要在街上玩。
4)My father likes to watch the boys playing basketball.(现在分词)
5) Yesterday I had a picture taken with two Americans.(过去分词)
● 常见的动词有: tell, ask, advise, help, want, would like, order, force, allow等。
● 注意:动词have, make, let, see, hear, notice, feel, watch等后面所接的动词不定式作宾补时,不带to。如:
1) The boss made him do the work all day.老板让他整天做那项工作。
2) I heard her sing in the next room all the time last night.昨天晚上我听见她在隔壁唱了一个晚上。
独立主格结构
一) 独立主格结构的构成:
名词(代词)+现在分词、过去分词;
名词(代词)+形容词;
名词(代词)+副词;
名词(代词)+不定式;
名词(代词) +介词短语构成。
二) 独立主格结构的特点:
1)独立主格结构的逻辑主语与句子的主语不同,它独立存在。
2)名词或代词与后面的分词,形容词,副词,不定 式,介词等是主谓关系。
3)独立主格结构一般有逗号与主句分开。
举例:
The test finished, we began our holiday.
= When the test was finished, we began our holiday.
考试结束了,我们开始放假。
The president assassinated, the whole country was in deep sorrow.
= After the president was assassinated, the whole country was in deep sorrow.
总统被谋杀了,举国上下沉浸在悲哀之中。
Weather permitting, we are going to visit you tomorrow.
如果天气允许,我们明天去看你。
This done, we went home.
工作完成后,我们才回家。
The meeting gone over, everyone tired to go home earlier.
会议结束后,每个人都想早点回家。
He came into the room, his ears red with cold.
他回到了房子里,耳朵冻坏了。
He came out of the library, a large book under his arm.
他夹着本厚书,走出了图书馆。
三) With的复合结构作独立主格
表伴随时,既可用分词的独立结构,也可用with的复合结构。
with +名词(代词)+现在分词/过去分词/形容词/副词/不定式/介词短语
举例: He stood there, his hand raised.
= He stood there, with his hand raise.
典型例题
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 +名词(代词)+分词+介词短语结构。当分词表示伴随状况时,其主语常常用with来引导。由于本句中名词"手"与分词"绑"是被动关系,因此用过去分词,选D.
注意:
1) 独立主格结构使用介词的问题:
当介词是in时,其前后的两个名词均不加任何成分(如物主代词或冠词),也不用复数。但 with 的复合结构不受此限制
A robber burst into the room, knife in hand.
( hand前不能加his)。
2) 当表人体部位的词做逻辑主语时,及物动词用现在分 词,不及物动词用过去分词。
He lay there, his teeth set, his hand clenched, his eyes looking straight up.
典型例题:
Weather___, we'll go out for a walk.
A permitted B permitting C permits D for permitting
答案B. 本题中没有连词,它不是复合句,也不是并列句。 句中使用了逗号,且we 小写,可知其不是两个简单句。能够这样使用的只有独立主格或with的复合结构。据此判断,本句中使用的是独立结构,其结构为:名词+分词。 由于permit在这里翻译为'天气允许',表主动,应用现在分词,故选B。
如果不会判断独立结构作状语的形式,不妨将句子改为条件句,例如本句改为If weather permits, we'll go out for a walk. 然后将if 去掉,再将谓语动词改为非谓语动词即可。
不能“以貌取意”的常见句型例析
1.This is the last thing I would ever want to do.
这是我最不愿做的一件事情。
【析】“the last +to do;the last +定语从句”中的last的意思为“least willing/likely”,译为“最不愿意;最不可能”。
He's the last man I want to see.他是我最不想见的人。
He is the last person to tell a lie.他是最不可能撒谎的人。
She's the last woman I want to sit next to at dinner.她是我在宴会上最不愿与之挨着坐的女人。
2.One can't be too honest.
人越老实越好。
【析】句中“cannot...too...”意为“无论怎样……也不过分”或“越……越好”。该句型中的not可以换成 hardly,never或scarcely;too可以换成 over或enough等,意思不变。
You cannot be too careful.You cannot be over careful.=You cannot be careful enough.你越仔细越好。
A man can never have too many friends.朋友越多越好。
3.It's a wise man that never makes mistakes.
无论多么聪明的人,也难免犯错误。
【析】“It is a +形容词+名词+that...”结构是一个特殊的习惯用法,意思是“无论怎样的……也不……”。真正的句子意思与字面意思相反,它具有含蓄的让步意味,切不可望文生义、译成强调句型。
It's a long lane that has no turning.无论怎样长的巷子也有转弯处。(引申意义为:耐心等待终会时来运转。)
It's a good horse that never stumbles.再好的马也有失前蹄的时候。(引申意义为:金无足赤,人无完人。)
4I'm too anxious to know the result.
我极想知道结果。
【析】英语中“too...to...”结构表示“太……以致不”的意思。例如:The star is too small to see.但是,如果too后形容词表示主语的状态、心理活动、情感态度(常见的有glad,easy,ready,anxious,eager, willing,happy等),并与其后的不定式构成固定搭配,这时too含有肯定意义,表示“very,extremely”的意思。
They are too anxious to leave.他们急于离去。
Mr.Smith was too eager to see her.史密斯先生极想见到她。
5.It's three years since he was a teacher.
他不当教师已经三年了。
【析】在“It is some time since +主语+谓语+其它成分。”这一结构中,如果从句谓语动词是非延续性动词,那么时间的计算就从该动作的发生开始算起。
It‘s three years since he joined the army.他参军已经三年了。
如果从句谓语动词是延续性动词,时间就要从该动作的结束算起。
It's many years since they lived here.他们不在这儿住已经好多年了。
6.All that glitters is not gold.
闪光的东西不一定都是金子。
【析】在句中当不定代词all,both,every及 every的复合词,副词always,often,entirely与 not一起使用时,表示部分否定,意思是“并非都是”,“不是每个人都”等。
I don't remember all these formulas.这些公式我并非全都记得。
Every man cannot do it.并非每个人都能做这个。
I don't entirely agree with you.我并不完全同意你的看法。
注意:当all,both,every等词和带im-,in-,un-,dis-等表示否定意义的前缀的词连用时,表示全部否定的意义。
All your answers are incorrect.你所有的答案都不正确。
表示全部否定时,我们常使用no,not,nobody,nothing,never,nowhere,neither等词。
None of the teachers smoke.这些老师都不抽烟。
7.The mountain is not valuable because it is high.
山并不因为高而具有价值。(山不在高)
【析】含有原因状语从句的主从复合句,形式上虽然否定主句的谓语,然而意义上则是否定该原因状语,译为“并不因为……而……”。
You cannot walk away just because someone tells you he doesn't want to buy.你不能仅仅因为他告诉你不买就走开。
Galileo was not ready to accept it just because Aristotle had said so.伽利略并不只是因为亚里斯多德说过某事如何如何,就轻易相信它。
8.I didn't pretend to understand what he said.
我假装没懂他说的话。
【析】常用动词pretend,happen的否定形式有两种:既可以否定pretend,也可以否定其后的不定式,其意义不变。
I didn't happen to be there.=I happened not to be there.我恰巧不在那儿。
They didn't pretend to see me when I went by.=They pretended not to see me when I went by.当我经过的时候,他们假装没有看见我。
9Let's have a rest under the big tree. It's nice and cool here.
让我们在大树下歇会吧。这儿很凉快。
【析】nice and,good and都表示“很,非常,完全”的意思。and前的形容词实质上起副词作用,修饰后边的形容词,表示强调。
I am good and ready.我都准备好了。
It is good and cold in the morning.早上非常冷。
