定義
動詞是表示動作、行為、心理活動或存在、變化、消失等的詞，如：去、看、保護、恨、想、討厭、在、發生、消失、能、能夠、該、肯、進、出、上、下。
分類
系動詞
系動詞亦稱聯繫動詞（Link Verb），作為系動詞。有些不具詞義；有些具有詞義，但不能單獨用作謂語，後邊必須跟表語（亦稱補語），構成系表結構說明主語的狀況、性質、特徵等情況。
說明：
有些系動詞又是實義動詞，該動詞表達實義時，有詞義，可單獨作謂語，例如：Food goes bad in summe.He went to school at six.
1）狀態系動詞
用來表示主語狀態，只有be一詞，例如：He is a teacher.他是一名教師。（is與補足語一起說明主語的身份。）
2）持續系動詞
用來表示主語繼續或保持一種狀況或態度，主要有keep,rest,remain,stay,lie,stand.例如：He always kept silent at meeting.他開會時總保持默。
3）表像系動詞
用來表示“看起來像”這一概念，主要有seem,appear,look.例如：He looks tired.他看起來很累。
4）感官系動詞
感官系動詞主要有feel,smell,sound,taste.例如：This kind of cloth feels very soft.這種布手感很軟。
5）變化系動詞
這些系動詞表示主語變成什麼樣，變化系動詞主要有become,grow,turn,fall,get,go,come,run.
例如：He became mad after that.自那之後，他瘋了。
6）終止系動詞
表示主語已終止動作，主要有prove,turn out.表達“證實”，“變成”之意，例如：The rumor proved false.這謠言證實有假。
助動詞
最常用的助動詞有：be,have,do,shall,will,should,would）協助主要動詞構成謂語動詞詞組的詞叫助動詞（Auxiliary Verb）。被協助的動詞稱作主要動詞（Main Verb）。
助動詞自身沒有詞義，不可單獨使用，例如：He doesn't like English.他不喜歡英語。（doesn't是助動詞，無詞義；like是主要動詞，有詞義)
2）助動詞協助主要動詞完成以下功用，可以用來：
a.表示時態，例如：He is singing.他在唱歌。He has got married.他已結婚。
b.表示語態，例如：He was sent to England.他被派往英國。
c.構成疑問句，例如：Do you like college life? 你喜歡大學生活嗎？
d.與否定副詞not合用，構成否定句，例如：I don't like him.我不喜歡他。
e.加強語氣，例如：Do come to the party tomorrow evening.明天晚上一定來參加晚會。He did know that.他的確知道那件事。
半助動詞
功能介紹在功能上介乎主動詞和助動詞之間的一類結構，稱為半助動詞。常見的半助動詞有be about to,be due to,be going to,be likely to,be meant to,be obliged to,be supposed to,be willing to,have to,seem to,be unable to,be unwilling to等。
情態助動詞
情態助動詞1.情態助動詞包括will(would),shall(should),can(could),may(might),must,need,dare,ought to,used to,had better後接原形不定詞。2.情態助動詞不受主詞的人稱和數的限制。3.兩個情態助動詞不能連用。中文：他將能夠及時完成此事。(誤)He will can finish it i......
基本助動詞
基本助動詞基本助動詞只有三個：be,do,have他們沒有辭彙意義，只有語法作用，如協助構成進行體，完成體，被動態，否定句，疑問句等。例如：He is giving a lecture.他在作報告He has made a plan.他已經訂了計畫The small animals are kept in the cages.小動物都關在籠子裡。
短語動詞
動詞加小品構成的起動詞作用的短語叫短語動詞（Phrasal Verb）。例如：Turn off the radio.把收音機關上。（turn off是短語動詞）
短語動詞的構成基本有下列幾種：
1）動詞+副詞，如：back out；
2）動詞+介詞，如：look into；
3）動詞+副詞+介詞，如：look forward to。構成短語動詞的副詞和介詞都統稱為小品詞（Particle）。
非謂語動詞
在句子中充當除謂語以外的句子成分的動詞形式叫做非謂語動詞。非謂語動詞分為三種形式：不定式，動名詞，和分詞(分詞包括現在分詞和過去分詞)。
1）不定式
時態\語態 主動 被動
一般式 to do to be done
完成式 to have done to have been done
2）動名詞
時態\語態 主動 被動
一般式 doing being done
完成式 having done having been done
3）分詞
時態\語態 主動 被動
一般式 doing being done
完成式 having done having been done
否定形式：not+不定式，not+動名詞，not+現在分詞
一個動詞可以在有的場合下及物，有的場合下又不及物。像“kick”這個動詞，在“kick the ball”里，“kick”是“及物”動詞，“及”什麼“物”呢？這裡的“物”就是“ball”；但是如果只說“kick”，就是“蹬，跺”，“我跺腳”就只是“I kick”2個詞就夠了，一個主語一個謂語，我跺腳的動作不涉及賓語，不涉及我跺了什麼，就是我跺腳這個動作而已。
這就是一般句子的基本結構，再複雜的長句也只是往這個基本結構裡面添加豐富這個基本結構的修飾性的內容了，像定語（修飾名詞），狀語（修飾形容詞和動詞）。
以上是最最基本的句子結構了，別的一些像祈使句啊倒裝句啊強調句啊什麼的，還有各種從句，都是在這個基本結構上稍稍變化而來，先把這個句子的基本結構掌握透徹，這些別的問題自然迎刃而解的。
情態動詞
情態動詞是一種本身有一定的詞義，但要與動詞原形及其被動語態一起使用，給謂語動詞增添情態色彩，表示說話人對有關行為或事物的態度和看法，認為其可能、應該或必要等。情態動詞後面加動詞原形。
情態動詞有四類：
①只做情態動詞：must,can(could),may(might)……
②可做情態動詞又可做實義動詞：need,dare
③具有情態動詞特徵：have(had,has)to,used to
④情態動詞表猜測：一肯一否三不定（must一肯，must not一否，can，could，would三不定。）註：mustn't代表強烈禁止
虛意動詞
有幾個及物動詞可以和許多名詞一道使用表示動作，這類動詞稱為虛意動詞（Delexical Verbs），最常見的是以下幾個：
have可以跟：
bath,bathe,celebration,chat,conversation,cry,dance,discussion,dislike,dispute等.
give可以跟：
account,advice,analysis,answer,approval,beating,blow,chuckle,clean,consent等.
take可以跟：
Action,bath,break,care,chance,charge,control,effect,examination,exercise等.
make可以跟：
advance,answer,apology,appeal,appearance,arrangements,arrest,appointment,attack等
時態
時態是英語謂語動詞的一種形式，表示動作發生的時間和所處的狀態。英語中的時態是通過動詞形式本身的變化來實現的。英語有16種時態，但中學階段較常用的有十種：一般現在時，一般過去時，一般將來時，過去將來時，現在進行時，過去進行時，將來進行時，過去完成時，現在完成時和現在完成進行時。
時態一致
1）如果從句所敘述的為真理或不變的事實，則永遠用現 在時。
At that time,people did not know that the earth moves.
He told me last week that he is eighteen.
2）賓語從句中的助動詞ought,need,must,dare時態是不變的。
He thought that I need not tell you the truth.
時態與時間狀語
時間狀語
一般現在時every,sometimes,at+時間,on+時間
一般過去時yesterday,last+時間，時間+ago,the other day,in+過去的時間，just now
一般將來時next+時間，tomorrow,in+將來的時間，
現在完成時for,since,so far,ever,never,just,yet,till/until,up to now,in past+時間，already,recently
過去完成時before,by,until,when,after,once,as soon as
過去進行時this morning,the whole morning,all day,yesterday,from+時間 to+時間last+時間… when,while
將來進行時soon,tomorrow,this evening,on+時間，by this time,in+將來的時間，tomorrow evening,this coming Sunday
一般現在時的用法
1）表示經常性或習慣性的動作，常與表示頻度的時間狀語連用。
時間狀語：every…,sometimes,at…,on Sunday,always,every day,usually,seldom
I leave home for school at 7 every morning.
2）在時間和條件狀語中代替將來、表示按規定將要發生的事情（動作）狀態和感覺的動作

3）表示格言或警句中。
Pride goes before a fall.驕者必敗。
注意：此用法如果出現在賓語從句中，即使主句是過去時，從句謂語也要用一般現在時。

4）現在時刻的狀態、能力、性格、個性。
I don't want so much.
Ann Wang writes good English but does not speak well.
比較：Now I put the sugar in the cup.
I am doing my homework now.
第一句用一般現在時，用於操作演示或指導說明的示範性動作，表示言行的瞬間動作。再如：Now watch me,I switch on the current and stand back.
第二句中的now是進行時的標誌，表示正在進行的動作的客觀狀況，所以後句用現在進行時。
一般過去時的用法
1）在確定的過去時間裡所發生的動作或存在的狀態。
時間狀語有：yesterday,last week,an hour ago,the other day,in 1982等。
Where did you go just now
2）表示在過去一段時間內，經常性或習慣性的動作。

(含義：她現在還活著)
Mrs. Darby lived in Kentucky for seven years.
(含義：達比太太已不再住在肯塔基州。)
Mrs. Darby has lived in Kentucky for seven years.

注意：用過去時表示現 在，表示委婉語氣。
1）動詞want,hope,wonder,think,intend等。
Did you want anything else
I wondered if you could help me.
2）情態動詞could,would.
Could you lend me your bike?
used to/be used to
used to + do：“過去常常”表示過去習慣性的動作或狀態，但如今已不存在。

be used to + doing：對……已感到習慣，或“習慣於”，to是介詞，後需加名詞或動名詞。
He is used to a vegetarian diet.
Scarf is used to taking a walk.(現在習慣於散步)
一般將來時
1）shall用於第一人稱，常被will所代替。
will在陳述句中用於各人稱，在爭求意見時常用於第二人稱。

注意：be about to不能與tomorrow,next week等表示明確將來時的時間狀語連用。
be going to/will
用於條件句時，be going to表將來
will表意願
If you are going to make a journey,you'd better get ready for it as soon as possible.
Now if you will take off your clothes,we will fit the new clothes on you in front of the mirror.
be to和be going to

用現在進行時表示將來
意為：“意圖”、“打算”、“安排”、常用於人。常用詞為come,go,start,arrive,leave,stay等。
I'm leaving tomorrow.
Are you staying here till next week
現在完成時
現在完成時用來表示之前已發生或完成的動作或狀態，其結果的確和現 在有聯繫。動作或狀態發生在過去但它的影響現在還存在；也可表示持續到現在的動作或狀態。其構成：have(has)+過去分詞。
用於現在完成時的句型
1）It is the first/second time….that…結構中的從句部分，用現在完成時。
It is the first time that I have visited the city.
It was the third time that the boy have been late.
2）This is the… that…結構，that從句要用現在完成時.
This is the best film that I've (ever) seen.
這是我看過的最好的電影。
This is the first time (that) I've heard him sing.這是我第一次聽他唱歌。
3）最基本句型
主語+have/has+（already/just）+動詞的過去分詞+其他
比較since和for
Since用來說明動作起始時間，for用來說明動作延續時間長度。
I have lived here for more than twenty years.
I have lived here since I was born.
My aunt has worked in a clinic since 1949.
Some new oilfields have been opened up since 1976.
I have known Xiao Li since she was a little girl.
My brother has been in the Youth League for two years.
I have not heard from my uncle for a long time.
注意：並非有for作為時間狀語的句子都用現在完成時。
I worked here for more than twenty years.
(我現在已不在這裡工作。)
I have worked here for many years.
(現在我仍在這裡工作。)
小竅門：當現在完成時+一段時間，這一結構中，我們用下面的公式轉化，很容易就能排除非延續動詞在完成時中的誤使。
1）(對) Tom has studied Russian for three years.
= Tom began to study Russian three years ago,and is still studying it now.
2）(錯) Harry has got married for six years.
= Harry began to get married six years ago,and is still getting married now.
顯然，第二句不對，它應改為Harry got married six years ago.或 Harry has been married for six years.
since的四種用法
1）since+過去一個時間點(如具體的年、月、日期、鐘點、1980,last month,half past six)。
I have been here since 1989.
2）since +一段時間+ ago
I have been here since five months ago.
3）since+從句
Great changes have taken place since you left.
Considerable time has elapsed since we have been here.
4）It is+一段時間+since從句
It is two years since I became a postgraduate student.
5）since和for
在現在完成時態，since後面加時間點，for後面加時間段。
延續動詞與瞬間動詞
1）用於完成時的區別
延續動詞表示經驗、經歷；瞬間動詞表示行為的結果，不能與表示段的時間狀語連用。
He has completed the work.他已完成了那項工作。(表結果)
I've known him since then.我從那時起就認識他了。(表經歷)
2）用於till/until從句的差異
延續動詞用於肯定句，表示“做……直到……”瞬間動詞用於否定句，表示“到……，才……”
He didn't come back until ten o'clock.
他到10點才回來。
He slept until ten o'clock.
他一直睡到10點。
過去完成時
1）概念：表示動作發生在過去，並在過去完成（即是常說的過去的過去）。
用一示意圖表示如下：
動作發生
------|----------------|----------|---->
過去的過去過去現在
其基本構成是：had+動詞過去分詞。
2）用法
a.在told,said,knew,heard,thought等動詞後的賓語從句。
She said (that) she had never been to Paris.
b.狀語從句
在過去不同時間發生的兩個動作中，發生在先，用過去完成時；發生在後，用一般過去時。
When the police arrived,the thieves had run away.
c.表示意向的動詞，如hope,wish,expect,think,intend,mean,suppose等，用過去完成時表示“原本…，未能…”
We had hoped that you would come,but you didn't.
3）過去完成時的時間狀語before,by,until,when,after,once,as soon as。
He said that he had learned some English before.
By the time he was twelve,Edison had began to make a living by himself.
Tom was disappointed that most of the guests had left when he arrived at the party.
注意：had no… when還沒等…… 就……
had no sooner… than剛…… 就……
He had no sooner bought the car than he sold it.
將來完成時
1）構成是由“shall/will + have +過去分詞”構成的。
a.狀態完成：表示某事繼續到將來某一時為止一直有的狀態。
b.動作完成：表示將來某一時或另一個將來的動作之前，已經完成的動作或已獲得的經驗。
They will have been married for 20 years by then.
You will have reached Shanghai by this time tomorrow.
現在進行時
現在進行時的基本用法：
a.表示現在(指說話人說話時)正在發生的事情。
We are waiting for you.
b.習慣進行：表示長期的或重複性的動作，說話時動作未必正在進行。
Mr. Green is writing another novel.
(說話時並未在寫，只處於寫作的狀態。)
She is learning piano under Mr. Smith.
c.表示漸變的動詞有：get,grow,become,turn,run,go,begin等。
The leaves are turning red.
It's getting warmer and warmer.
d.與always,constantly,forever等詞連用，表示反覆發生的動作或持續存在的狀態，往往帶有說話人的主觀色彩。
You are always changing your mind.
不用進行時的動詞
1）事實狀態的動詞
have,belong,possess,cost,owe,exist,include,contain,matter,weigh,measure,continue
I have two brothers.

過去進行時
1）概念：表示過去某時正在進行的狀態或動作。
2）過去進行時的主要用法是描述一件事發生的背景；一個長動作發生的時候，另一個短動作發生。
3）常用的時間狀語
this morning,the whole morning,all day yesterday,from nine to ten last evening,when,while
將來進行時
1）概念：表示將來某時進行的狀態或動作，或按預測將來會發生的事情。
She'll be coming soon.
I'll be meeting him sometime in the future.
注意：將來進行時不用於表示"意志"，不能說 I'll be having a talk with her.
2）常用的時間狀語
Soon,tomorrow,this evening，on Sunday,by this time，tomorrow,in two days,tomorrow evening
By this time tomorrow,I'll be lying on the beach.
代替
一般現在時代替將來時
時間狀語從句，條件句中，從句用一般現在時代替將來時
When,while,before,after,till,once,as soon as,so long as,by the time,if,in case (that),unless,even if,whether,the moment,the minute,the day,the year,immediately

hear,tell,learn,write,understand,forget,know,find,say，remember.
I hear (= have heard) he will go to London.
I forget (=have forgotten) how old he is.
2）句型"It is … since…"代替"It has been … since …"

用一般過去時代替完成時
1）兩個動作如按順序發生，又不強調先後，或用then，and，but等連詞時，多用一般過去時。
When she saw the mouse，she screamed.
My aunt gave me a hat and I lost it.
⒉)兩個動作相繼發生，可用一般過去時；如第一個動作需要若干時間完成，用過去完成時。
When I heard the news,I was very excited.
3）敘述歷史事實，可不用過去完成時，而只用一般過去時。
Our teacher told us that Columbus discovered America in 1492.
比較過去時與現在完成時
1）過去時表示過去某時發生的動作或單純敘述過去的事情，強調動作；現在完成時為過去發生的，強調過去的事情對現 在的影響，強調的是影響。
2）過去時常與具體的時間狀語連用，而現在完成時通常與模糊的時間狀語連用，或無時間狀語。
一般過去時的時間狀語：
yesterday,last week，…ago,in1980,in October,just now，具體的時間狀語
共同的時間狀語：
this morning,tonight,this April,now,once，before,already,recently，lately

不確定的時間狀語
3）現在完成時可表示持續到現在的動作或狀態，動詞一般是延續性的，
如live,teach,learn,work,study,know.
過去時常用的非持續性動詞有come,go,leave,start,die,finish,become,get married等。
舉例：
I saw this film yesterday.
（強調看的動作發生過了。）
I have seen this film.
（強調對現在的影響，電影的內容已經知道了。）

(三年前入團，joined為短暫行為。)
I have finished my homework now.
---Will somebody go and get Dr. White
---He's already been sent for.
句子中如有過去時的時間副詞（如 yesterday,last,week,in 1960）時，不能使用現在完成時，要用過去時。
（錯）Tom has written a letter to his parents last night.
（對）Tom wrote a letter to his parents last night.
語態
語態有兩種：主動語態和被動語態。
主語是動作的發出者為主動語態；主語是動作的接受者為被動語態。
1）若賓語補足語是不帶to的不定式，變為被動語態時，該不定式前要加"to"。此類動詞為感官動詞。
feel,hear,help,listen to,look at,make,observe,see,notice,watch
The teacher made me go out of the classroom.
--> I was made to go out of the classroom (by the teacher).
We saw him play football on the playground.
--> He was seen to play football on the playground.
2）情態動詞+be+過去分詞，構成被動語態。
Coal can be used to produce electricity for agriculture and industry.
let的用法
1）當let後只有一個單音節動詞，變被動語態時，可用不帶to的不定式。
They let the strange go.---> The strange was let go.
2）若let後賓補較長時，let通常不用被動語態，而用allow或permit代替。
The nurse let me go to see my classmate in the hospital.
----> I was allowed/permitted to see my classmate in the hospital
短語動詞的被動語態
短語動詞是一個整體，不可丟掉後面的介詞或副詞。
This is a photo of the power station that has been set up in my hometown.
My sister will be taken care of by Grandma.
Such a thing has never been heard of before..
表示“據說”或“相信”的詞組
believe,consider,declare,expect,feel,report,say,see,suppose,think,understand
It is said that…據說
It is reported that…據報導
It is believed that…大家相信
It is hoped that…大家希望
It is well known that…眾所周知
It is thought that…大家認為
It is suggested that…據建議
It is taken granted that…被視為當然
It has been decided that…大家決定
It must be remembered that…務必記住的是
It is said that she will leave for Wuhan on Tuesday.
被動語態的新興形式
Get+過去分詞也可以構成被動語態，用這種結構的句子側重於動作的結果而不是動作本身。如：The man got hurt on his way home.那個男人在回家的路上受傷了。How did the glass get broken?杯子怎么破了？
著名學者周海中教授在論文《Get-Passive研究》中指出：Get+過去分詞的被動語態是一種新興的被動語態形式；相對來說它的使用還沒有Be+過去分詞構成的被動語態那么廣泛，一般限於口語和非正式書面語；但它卻有著用得愈來愈多的趨勢，是一種生氣蓬勃的語言現象。
語法特徵
（1）多數能作動語帶賓語，能作謂語或謂語中心（核心），如“他來了。”“我們熱愛祖國。”
（2）動詞能夠受副詞“不”修飾，只有少數表心理活動的動詞和一些能願動詞能夠前加程度副詞，例如能說“很怕他”、“很喜歡他”、“很羨慕他”。
（3）能構成“V不V”式並帶賓語表示提問，如“看不看書”。
（4）動詞多數可以後帶著、了、過”等表示動態。
（5）有些動作行為動詞可以重疊，表示短促動作的數量小或時量短或嘗試、輕鬆等意義，限於表示可持續的動作時間。單音節動詞重疊是AA式，如“想想”，雙音節動詞重疊是ABAB式，如“打掃打掃”。有些動賓式合成詞的重疊式是AAB式，如“散散步”。AA式重疊後常加“看”，表示“嘗試”，使語氣緩和。
注意事項
不用被動語態的情況
1）不及物動詞或動詞短語無被動語態：
appear,die disappear,end (vi. 結束),fail,happen,last,lie,remain,sit,spread,stand
break out,come true,fall asleep,keep silence,lose heart,take place.
After the fire,very little remained of my house.
比較：rise,fall,happen是不及物動詞；raise,seat是及物動詞。
(錯) The price has been risen.
(對) The price has risen.
(錯) The accident was happened last week.
(對) The accident happened last week.

4）帶同源賓語的及物動詞，反身代詞，相互代詞，不能用於被動語態：

一、被動語態的用法：
1.一般現在時的被動語態構成：is/am/are+及物動詞的過去分詞
Our classroom is cleaned everyday.
I am asked to study hard.
Knives are used for cutting things.
2.一般過去時的被動語態構成：was/were+及物動詞的過去分詞

Dinosaur eggs were laid long long ago.
3.現在完成時的被動語態構成：has/have+been+及物動詞的過去分詞
This book has been translated into many languages.
Many man-made satellites have been sent up into space by many countries.
4.一般將來時的被動語態構成：will+be+及物動詞的過去分詞
A new hospital will be built in our city.
Many more trees will be planted next year.
5.含有情態動詞的被動語態構成：情態動詞+be+及物動詞的過去分詞
Young trees must be watered often.
Your mistakes should be corrected right now.
The door may be locked inside.
Your homework can be handed in tomorrow.
6.現在進行時的被動語態構成：am/is/are+being+及物動詞的過去分詞
Uncle Wang is mending my bike now.→My bike is being repaired by Tom now.
They are planting trees over there.→Trees are being planted over there by them.
7.不定式的被動語態to+be+及物動詞的過去分詞
There are two books to be read.→There are twenty more trees to be planted.
二、怎樣把主動語態改成被動語態？
把主動語態改為被動語態非常簡單，可以遵循以下幾個步驟：1.先找出謂語動詞；2.再找出謂語動詞後的賓語；3.把賓語用作被動語態中的主語；4.注意人稱、時態和數的變化。
例：1.Bruce writes a letter every week.→A letter is written by Bruce every week.
2.Li Lei mended the broken bike this morning.→The broken bike was mended by Li Lei this morning.
3.He has written two novels so far.→Two novels have been written by him so far.
4.They will plant ten trees tomorrow.→Ten trees will be planted by them tomorrow.
5.Lucy is writing a letter now.→A letter is being written by Lucy now.
6.You must lock the door when you leave.→the door must be locked when you leave.
三、使用被動語態應注意的幾個問題：
1.不及物動詞無被動語態。
What will happen in 100 years
The dinosaurs disappeared about 65 million years ago.
2.有些動詞用主動形式表示被動意義。
This pen writes well.
This new book sells well.
3.感官動詞或使役動詞使用省略to的動詞不定式，主動語態中不帶to，但變為被動語態時，須加上to。
例：make somebody do something→somebody+ be +made to do something
see somebody do something→somebody +be +seen to do something
A girl saw my wallet drop when she passed by.→My wallet was seen to drop by a girl when she passed by.
The boss made the little boy do heavy work.→The little boy was made to do heavy work by the boss.
4.如果是接雙賓語的動詞改為被動語態時，直接賓語(物)作主語，那么動詞後要用介詞，這個介詞是由與其搭配的動詞決定。
He gave me a book.→A book was given to me by him.
He showed me a ticket.→A ticket was shown to me by him.
My father bought me a new bike.→A new bike was bought for me by my father.
5.一些動詞短語用於被動語態時，動詞短語應當看作一個整體，而不能丟掉其中的介詞或副詞。
We can’t laugh at him.→He can’t be laughed at by us.
He listens to the radio every day.→The radio is listened to by him every day.
動詞的分類
動詞分為五種：及物動詞，不及物動詞，連繫動詞，助動詞和情態動詞
1.及物動詞：是指後面需要使用賓語是其意義完整的動詞.
如：那條狗使這個孩子高興起來。That dog makes the boy happy.
2.不及物動詞：是指後面不需要賓語而意義完整的動詞
如：我住在北京. I live in Beijing.
3.連繫動詞：一個表示謂語關係的動詞，後面必須接表語（通常為名詞或形容詞）一起使用。
最主要的聯繫動詞是"be (am is are)". 其他常用的連繫動詞還有：seem 似乎 look 看起來 appear 好象 become 變成 keep 保持 get （成為）
如：他是一位好教師。He is a good teacher.
這花很好聞。The flower smells good.
4.助動詞：是指用來幫助主要動詞完成語法功能的動詞。這類動詞本身沒有意義，不能單獨作謂語。他們可以在句中與實義動詞一起幫助構成疑問句，否定句，進行時態，完成時態和將來時態。
助動詞有：
Be（構成進行時）如：我正在讀書。I am reading a book.
Do（構成疑問句，否定句）如：你喜歡蘋果嗎？不，我不喜歡。Do you like apple? No,I don’t.
Have（構成完成時態）如：我明天來看你。I will come to se you tomorrow.
5.情態動詞：是指表示說話人的語氣或者情態的動詞。情態動詞沒有人稱和數的變化，詞義不完全在句中不能單獨作謂語，必須與後面的動詞原形合用。
我們常用的情態動詞有：
Can（能，會）如：I can swim.我會游泳。
May（可以）如：You may go now.你現在可以走了。
Must（必須）如：You must do your homework.你必須寫作業。
Need（需要）如：He needs our help.他需要我們的幫助。
二、動詞的基本形式
絕大多數動詞都有五種基本形式：動詞原形、一般現在是第三人稱單數、過去時、過去分詞和現在分詞。
A、第三人稱單數形式的構成
一般現在時主語是第三人稱單數，謂語動詞後要加s或es，其變化規則與名詞變複數的方法大體相同：
1.一般情況下只在動詞後加s，如work-works,write-writes。
2.以s,x,sh,ch結尾的動詞，後加es，如guess-guesses,mix-mix,finish-finishes,catch-catches。
3.以輔音字母加y結尾的動詞，改y為i，如study-studies。
註：不規則變化的有have-has，be-are，go-goes，do-does等。
B、現在分詞的構成
1.一般情況下在動詞後加ing，如study-studying，work-working。
2.以不發音的字母e結尾的動詞，去“e”再加“ing”，如write-writing，move-moving。
3.以一個元音字母和一個輔音結尾的重讀音節結尾的動詞，要雙寫最後字母再加“ing”，如get-getting，begin-beginning。
4.以ie結尾的動詞，一般將ie改為y，再加ing，如lie-lying，die-dying，tie-tying。
註：以I結尾的動詞，尾音節重讀時，雙寫I，如control-controlling；尾音節不重讀時，雙不雙寫都可以，如 travel-traveling（美）/travelling（英）。
C、過去式的構成
1.一般情況直接加ed，如ask-asked，work-worked。
2.以不發音的e結尾，只加d，如love-loved，dance-danced。
3.以輔音字母加y結尾，把y改i，如try-tried，study-studied。
4.以一個元音字母和一個輔音結尾的重讀音節結尾的動詞，先雙末尾一個字母，再加ed，如stop-stopped，permit-permitted
