掌握基本句型 做好书面表达
中考的“书面表达”,其实就是要求考生根据提供的情景写几句话。目前,提供情境的方式也就是文字说明和图画两种。我们考生的任务就是根据情境,把考题要求用几个意思连贯的句子表达出来。
从近年来的写作测试题来看,中考试题设计无论怎么变化(如要求考生写通知、写人物介绍、写地方介绍、看图写日记、写故事、根据示意图写信以及为故事专栏写短文等),内容无论怎么贴近生活,就其要表达的内容所需要的词汇和句式而言,难度并不高,基本词汇和简单句就够了。目的就是要客观地考查出考生灵活运用所学词汇和句型的能力。 因此,做好书面表达,没有词汇基础是不行的。但是,仅仅靠词汇又是不够的。必须掌握并灵活运用英语的基本句型。本文对英语的基本句型及其基本用法作些梳理和归纳,并以我们在做书面表达时经常会用到的句子为例,对基本句型的运用作些说明,以方便同学们复习。
一、掌握哪些基本句型?
英语句子看上去纷繁庞杂,但仔细观察不外乎五个基本句型。这五个基本句型可以演变出多种复杂的英语句子。换言之,绝大多数英语句子都是由这五个基本句型生成的。熟悉并掌握这五个基本句型并掌握它的变式,再根据需要加上适当的定语或状语,我们写出的句子不仅可以表情达意,还会中规中矩,生动活泼。
例如:
1. We all breathe.
2. He was a strange little man.
3. I have bought some chocolate for you.
4. Mr. Smith taught us English.
5. He could make his lessons lively and interesting.
这些都是我们非常熟悉的常见简单句。仔细分析一下,我们不难得出相应的5种主要句型。
1. S十V “主语+谓语”结构
2. S十V十P “主语+系动词+表语”结构
3. S十V十O “主语+谓语+宾语”结构
4. S十V十O1十O2 “主语+谓语+双宾语”结构
5. S十V十O十C “主语+谓语+宾语+宾语补足语”结构
掌握了这5 种基本句型,就能基本满足我们在日常生活中的交际要求,陈述句如此,疑问句、感叹句、被动语态、强调结构、IT作引导词或形式主语的结构等等也都是由他们演化而来。如能举一反三或由一知三,中考书面表达要求便能应付自如。
二、运用5种基本句型应注意什么?
句型1. S十V “主语+谓语”结构
在这种句型中,除了谓语动词是不及物动词外,我们要注意掌握这个句型的变式:有时有附加成分,有时没有附加成分。有时还需要倒装,有时还要用it作形式主语。在口笔头表达时,我们要根据要求,灵活使用。如:
The sun was shining. (没有附加成分)
He was breathing heavily.(有附加成分)
He went away. (有附加成分)
We stood still in a line.(有附加成分)
We went running to meet the guests. (有附加成分)
We walked (for) five miles. (有附加成分)
We waited (for) half an hour.
We live in Nanjing. (有附加成分)
We are going to meet at the school gate. (有附加成分)
There comes the bus.(倒装)
句型2. S十V十P “主语+系动词+表语”结构
在这个句型结构中,联系动词是不能独立作谓语的,它必须和表语一起使用,用来说明主语的身份、特征、性质、情绪和状态等。使用这个句型,一是要注意联系动词V,二是要注意表语的多样性。
联系动词(V),除BE动词外,还有不少动词可以作为联系动词用。以下几类动词均可作为联系动词使用:
1.seem, appear 等表示“似乎”、“好象”等意思的动词;
2.look, taste, smell, sound, feel等表示五官感觉的动词;
3.remain, keep等表示“维持,保持”等意思的动词;
4.become, grow, turn, get, go, come, run, fall等表示“变化、发展”等意思的动词;
5.一些固定搭配。如:marry young/old, make sure/certain, sit tight/still, blow open等。
所谓表语的多样性,意思是这些动词后的作表语词类和结构等形式是多种多样的。现结合联系动词举例说明。
The lecture was over.
The boys were about the same age.
It is time to go to the park with my classmates.
It is very nice(for me) to sit/sitting here with you.
It seemed (to me) that everyone was really interested in the trip.
The baby seemed to be asleep.
You sound surprised.
How did they become friends?
He kept/remained silent.
The river has run dry.
The meat has gone bad.
The leaves are turning brown.
One of the tigers broke loose.
She married old.
以上例句说明,用来说明主语的身份、特征、性质和状态的表语可以是形容词、副词、介词短语、非谓语动词和从句。有的可以和其他句式相互转换,如上面的第4 、5、6等。在使用时要灵活变通,不可生搬硬套。
句型3. S十V十O “主语+谓语+宾语”结构
首先,我们必须明白,这里的V与前面两个句型中的V不同,它是个及物动词,必须带宾语O;最重要的是这个句型中的谓语动词,它对后面的宾语有一些特殊的要求。
1.谓语后面直接用名词或代词作宾语。如:
We answered the foreign guests’ many questions in English.
Our class visited a factory last Sunday.
The American guests have blue eyes.
2. 谓语动词要求动词不定式作宾语。我们学过的这些动词有:continue, dare, decide, hope, learn, plan, want, agree, promise, trouble, start, begin, would like, pretend, wish等等。如:
He wanted to have a rest.
We agreed to have a talk about it.
Would you like to have a look around our city?
3. 谓语动词要求用动名词作宾语。如:continue, hate, love, start, begin, enjoy, like, dislike, prefer…to…, 以及need, want作实意动词表示“需要”,后面跟动名词。如:
4.谓语动词后面既可以用不定式,也可以用动名词作宾语。如:like, begin, start, love, hate等等。如:
She likes swimming.
He began talking about his country.
I love walking to schools.
但是,如果begin, start 后面的是正在进行的动作,一般用动词不定式作宾语。如:
It began to rain.
有些动词后面可以跟动名词,也可以跟不定式,但是意思不同,有的在语法上已经不是宾语。如:remember, forget, stop等。请比较:
Please remember to wake me up at six in the morning.
I remembered meeting him before.
He forgot to bring an umbrella with him.
He forgot returning the book to the library.
We were tired so we stopped to have a rest at the foot of the hill.
I stopped to have a look at the beautiful garden.
5. 有时,根据表达需要,谓语动词后面要跟“疑问代词+动词不定式”或从句作宾语。如:ask, know, see, tell, decide, think, learn等等。
I don’t know who to go to for advice (who I should go…).
You must learn when to give advice and when to be silent (when you should … ) .
I will ask / find out when the train leaves.
I think that he is our new teacher.
句型4. S十V十O1十O2 “主语+谓语+双宾语”结构
英语中有的动词要跟双宾语,一个是直接宾语,一个是间接宾语。这个句型中,双宾语同样是由谓语动词决定的。跟双宾语的动词有:give, show, send, bring, read, pass, leave, hand, tell, return, write, pay, throw, allow, wish, teach以及make,buy, do, fetch, get, play, save, sing, find等两大类。后面的宾语可以是名词或代词,也可以是从句。间接宾语有时可以改写城一个由to或for引导的短语,意思不变。
He told us that the road was wet.
Have they paid you the money?
I will read you the letter.
Could you lend me your computer?
We give the classroom a good cleaning very weekend.
Will you do me a favor?
He passed the dictionary to me.
My mother bought a present for me.
句型5. S十V十O十C “主语+谓语+宾语+宾语补足语”结构
“宾语+宾语补足语”主要有四种类型:
⑴名词(代词)+不定式;
⑵名词(代词)+分词;
⑶名词(代词)+名词(仅限于find, make, call, consider 等动词);
⑷名词(代词)+形容词(仅限于find, keep, make, leave, like, regard, see等动词)。例如:
I will let you know as soon as I hear from her.
The teacher asked us to work hard at our lessons after class.
The foreigner said that he found us speaking very good English.
When we got there, we found the park crowded with people.
He kept it a secret until he had succeeded.
We made him our monitor.
What do we call this plant in English?
We must keep the room clean.
Let’s get everything ready in time.
The news made us very angry.
综观以上5种句型,我们可以看出, 在表达的内容决定了之后,决定句型的核心成分就是动词。动词往往决定着我们该用的句型,决定着它后面的表语和宾语的形式。因此,在练习书面表达时,我们有必要以这5种基本句型为主线,以提高表达能力为目标,以动词的掌握和使用为重点,进行分项专题联系,熟练掌握以上5种基本句型.
