学习连系动词应注意的几个易错点

1. 连系动词后通常可接形容词作表语,一般不接副词。如:

误:I felt very nervously when I went into his office. 当我走进他的办公室时,我感到很紧张。

正:I felt very nervous when I went into his office.

误:He was nicely to us. 他对我们很友好。

正:He was nice to us.

但是,少数表示地点或方位的副词如in, on, off, out, away, behind, up, down, over, through, around, round, below, inside, outside以及here, there, upstairs, downstairs等常可跟在连系动词后作表语。如:

My husband won't be in until six o'clock.我丈夫要到六点钟才在家。

When we arrived the film was over. 当我们到达时,电影结束了。

The old lady was upstairs. 那位老妇人在楼上待过。

I didn’t know you were here. 我不知道你在这儿。

2. 连系动词后可接不定式作表语。

(1) 连系动词be后可接不定式作表语。如:

(2) seem, appear, prove, continue, get, grow, come, turn out等连系动词后也可接不定式(尤其是to be)作表语,如:

My advice proved to be wrong. 我的意见证明是错的。

【注】若不定式为to be时,通常可以省略。如:

The drug proved (to be) highly effective. 这种药证明是非常有效的。

(3) 在表示知觉的连系动词 sound, smell, feel, taste, become等后通常不能接不定式。如:

误:They were all hungry and the food smelt to be good.

正:They were all hungry and the food smelt good. 他们都饿了,因而感到饭菜喷香。

误:This tea tastes to be sweet.

正:This tea tastes sweet. 这茶的味道很香。

(4) 少数连系动词后面接的从句可用不定式改写为简单句。如:

= The man seemed to be ill. 这个人好像病了。

= She appears to have failed to follow our instructions.

  连系动词在英语中扮演着重要的角色,它连接了主语和补语,以描述或解释主语。以下是我在学习英语连系动词时的经验:

  1.识别连系动词:连系动词举例包括be, seem,become, feel等。这些动词后面一般跟着的是形容词,名词或者短语,非常容易识别。

  2.理解连系动词的功能:连系动词并没有实际的意义,只是用来连接主语和其它成分,因此,需要从语境里来理解连系动词的用法。

  3.通过大量阅读来学习:阅读是对所学知识进行巩固和复习的好方法。例如,你可以找一些含有连系动词的文章或书籍来读,通过实例来加深理解。

  4.使用连系动词写作:尝试使用连系动词进行写作,如写日记、写文章或写信。这样可以更好地掌握连系动词的用法。

  5.定期复习:学习任何语言都是一个持久的过程,定期复习可以帮助你更好地记住和理解。

  6.使用语法书籍或在线资源:有许多书籍和在线资源都可以帮助你学习连系动词,比如《牛津英语语法》和《剑桥高级英语语法》等。

  7.参加英语课程或讨论组:如果可能的话,加入英语学习的课程或讨论组,可以提供更多练习的机会,并从其他人那里学习。

  8.练习口语:尽可能用英语与他人交谈,实践出真知。口语练习可以帮助你掌握连系动词在实际对话中的用法。
