表語
下列成分都可以做表語:名詞,形容詞,副詞,動詞不定式,動名詞,過去分詞,現在分詞,表語從句.
使用舉例(注意:連繫動詞不能夠單獨作謂語,他們必須和表語一起工作構成謂語):
1) 名詞:
False: I am.
Right: I am a student.
2) 形容詞:
False: He became.
Right: He became strong.
3) 副詞:
False: She remained.
Right: She remained there.
4) 現在分詞:
False: The story seemed.(這個故事似乎。)
Right: The story seemed interesting.(這個故事看起來很有趣。)
5) 過去分詞:
False: The window seemed.(視窗似乎。)
Right: The window seemed broken.(視窗似乎打破了。)
6) 動名詞:
False: His job is teach English.(他的工作是教英語。)
Right: His job is teaching English.(他的工作是教英語。)
7) 動詞不定式:
False: Her plan is become the winner in the game.(她的計畫是成為遊戲的贏家。)
Right: Her plan is to become the winner in the game.(她的計畫是成為遊戲的贏家。)
/////6)和7)的區別:
6)中動名詞表示某人經常乾某事:她從星期一到星期五天天教英語;
7)中動詞不定式表示某人將要乾某事:她的計畫是將要成為比賽的勝者。
8) 表語從句:
False:The question is.(問題是)
Right:The question is whether he will come here in time tomorrow.(問題是他是否會在明天來這裡的時候。)
Right:The question is what he is going to do next.(問題是他接下來要做什麼。)
Right:The question is how he has managed to solve the problem by himself.(問題是他是如何設法自己解決問題。)
連繫動詞
連繫動詞分為三類:be 動詞,感官動詞,趨勢動詞。
1) Be 動詞:am, is, are, was, were
2) 感官動詞:sound, look, taste, feel, smell
3) 趨勢動詞:appear, become, grow, get, turn, seem, remain,go
