主 + 系 + 表
系动词:没有具体的动作,只是起连接主语和后面的成分的作用。
它后面连接的成分用来说明主语的特点,表明主语的性质特征的(可以称为主语补足语或者表语)。比如
The cat is cute.
表语的形式有多种:不定式,形容词,名词短语,副词。副词不能作表语(因为表语说明的是主语特征,而副词是说明动词的特征)
系动词的分类,主要有四种
- 单纯表示主语状态和特征的,主要是感官动词。feel,look,sound,taste,smell,seem,appear
- The iron feels hot.
- The rose doesn't smell much.
- 表示主语从一种状态转变为另一种状态的。
- become, grow, turn
- The teacher bacame angry.
- fall, go, come 作系动词,有固定搭配
- Our supplies of suger and rice fell short.
- 因为fall在此处是系动词,不是动词,所以不能跟副词
- go 作系动词,一般含贬义,表示事物往怀的地方发展
- go mad, go bad, go wrong, go sour, go crazy
- come 作系动词,一般含褒义,表示事物往好的方向发展
- The dream has come true.
- Hope your dreams will come true.
- become, grow, turn
- 表示主语保持某种状态的。continue, remain, stay, keep, hold, rest, prove
- If you don't stay busy, you die. I don't want to die right now.
- He held silent for the whole day.
- The weather continued fine for several days.
- 近似于不及物动词的系动词
- 近似于不及物动词的系动词有sit, act, arrive, blush, marry, die, be born, 也可称为半系动词
- He arrived in the U.S a penniless 21-year-old.
- He lived the life of and died a prairie chicken.
- Jane died a spinsterr.
- 同源宾语(He died a hero's death, He lived a dog's life, He dreamt a beautiful dream. 只能接同源宾语,不能接其他宾语)
- Lei Feng died young.
- 区别: Don't act stupid. Don't act stupidly. 装傻还是真傻
- 装病:act sick
- All men are created equal.

主 + 谓
这种句型的谓语动词是不及物动词,所表示的动作没有作用对象,其本身意思完整,其后不需要带宾语
The eggs hatched.
The little eagle grew up.
虽然没有宾语,但是在谓语后面可以接状语,用来修饰谓语动词,比如表示动作发生的地点,地点状语
An eagle's egg was placed in the nest of a prairie chicken.
It scratched in the dirt for seeds.
简单句如何变成复杂句

主 + 谓 + 宾
及物动词(transitive verb),宾语是动作的承受者
They are looking for one-minute solutions to everything.
Just like instant coffee, they want instance happiness.
There are no quick fixes. This attitude leads to disappointment.
若是不及物动词(所表示的动作有作用对象),则可以加适当的介词,然后再接宾语。
但是这里有问题:既然不及物动词,语义完整,那么加介词后接宾语,这样后面的宾语作为动作的承受者,那谓语的意思一开始其实不完整,这里有点confuse。

主 + 谓 + 间接宾语 + 直接宾语
双宾动词(dative verb),后面所接成分既有人也有物
“人”表示动作的接受者,为间接宾语
“物”表示作用对象,是动作的承受者,为直接宾语
He showed the guard his passport.
I am going to buy her a gift.
将间接宾语后移,间接宾语前需要带介词 to 或者 for,这个取决于不同的动词
表示间接宾语是动作的接受者 to: show, assign, award, bring, deliver, deny, feed, give, grant, hand, lend, offer, owe, pass, pay, promise, post, read, recommend, sell, send, take, write
for : buy, book, build, change, choose, cook, fetch, find, get, keep, make, order, prepare, sing
个别动词不能后移间接宾语,charge, cost, bet
I will bet you ten dollars.
The repairman charged me ten dollars.
也有更特殊的动词,间接宾语后移时,需要在间接宾语前加上介词of
I have a question to ask of you.
I have a big favor to ask of you.

主 + 谓 + 宾 + 宾语补足语
谓语为宾补动词(factitive verb)
常见:appoint, believe, call, choose, consider, declare, elect, feel, find, keep, leave, let, make, name, nominate, prove, see, suppose, vote

区分双宾语和复合宾语
尤其是 “动词 + 人 + 物” 这样的结构时

I made John a cake.
She will make him a goood husband.
She will make him a good wife.
