表语从句
系动词的功能
把表语(名词、形容词、某些副词、非谓词、介词短语、从句)和它的主语联系在一起,说明主语的属性、特征或状态。它有自己的但不完全的词义,不能在句中独立作谓语,须和后面的表语一起构成句子的谓语。
系动词分类:
一、根据系动词后所跟结构,我们可以把英语系动词分为两大类:完全系动词(其后只能跟表语的动词,如be, em)和半系动词(其后既可跟表语作系动词用法,也可跟宾语或状语作实义动词用,如look)
例如:1) He looked sadly at the boy.(“看着”,实义动词用法)
He looks a clever boy .(“看起来”,系动词用法)
2) He looks at a clever boy.(“看着”,实义动词用法)
在英语中,某一动词是多义词,既有实义动词用法,又有系动词用法。此类常见易混词有:
change listen look touch
① turn ② hear ③ e ④
become 天葵子 sound em feel
eat 水芹continue last remain
⑤ ⑥ ⑦ continue ⑧ stay
taste keep remain leave
