第九章 反意疑问句

Tag Question

 

1．一般用法：

He is a student, isn't he?

He isn't a student, is he?

(1) “have to, had better, used to”要用下列方式反问：

He has to finish the work, doesn't he?

They used to smoke, didn't / usedn't they?

You'd better get up immediately, hadn't you?

(2) “has, have”作为助动词和实意动词，反问形式不同。

We have done all the work, haven't we?

You have some time, don't you?

 

金牌要点如下

2． “seldom, barely, hardly, scarcely, few, little” 语意本身是否定，因此反意问句应为肯定形式。

She seldom comes to visit us, does she?

He hardly knew it, did he?

3．当主句为祈使句，反意问句提出要求，命令应用 “will you”

Do it at once, will you?

但如表示邀请，劝告，反意问句用 “won't you”

Have a cup of tea, won't you?

4．否定祈使句应用 “will you” 来反问。

Don't open the window, will you?

5． “Let's” 短语

● 当其为肯定形式，“shall we” 提出反问

Let's play basketball, shall we?

● 当其为否定形式，“all right, ok” 提出反问

Let's not go to the party, all right?

● 如为 “let us ...” 其反问形式应为 “will you” 提出请求

Let us go home, will you?

6．当 “think, suppose, consider, believe” etc 被用作为主句谓语动词，其后带有宾语从句时，反意疑问问句应与从句保持一致。

Idon't think that he is an honest man, is he?

第十章 独立主格结构

Absolute Structure

 

此独立形式只是一个小短语，而不是主谓完整的简单句，又称之为独立分词构句。当分词意义上的主语不是主句的主语时，必须在分词前保留意义上的主语，否则语意不通。（定义有点费解，多看几遍）

 

示例：

Being ill in bed, I can't go to school.

Mother being ill in bed, I can't go to school.

（1） 独立主结构形式可用以表时间，理由，条件，伴随状态等

He lay on the grass, the sun shining upon him.

= He lay on the grass, and the sun was shining upon him.

 

Weather permitting, I'll start tomorrow.

= If weather permits, I'll start tomorrow.

 

School being over, the boys went home.

= When school was over, the boys went home.

 

The sun having set, we arrived at the station.

= After the sun had set, we arrived at the station.

 

王牌重点：当独立主格结构的主语表示“一般人”，如：we, one, you时，主语可省略，此用法常用于下列表达方式中：

generally speaking 一般来说

strictly speaking 严格地说

talking of ... 谈到

speaking of ... 说到

judging from ... 由……来判断

taking all things into consideration 把一切都考虑在内

considering ... 考虑到……

 

[示例]：

If we judge from his face, he must be ill.

= Judging from his face, he must be ill.

He has lots of books if we consider that he is young.

 = He has lots of books, considering that he is young.

（2）with 复合结构也是独立主格结构形式之一。这种结构在句中作状语（表示原因，方式，伴随等）和定语，作定语时紧随被修饰名词后。

1．with+ 名词 + 介词短语：

The woman with a baby on her back is my sister.

The boy rushed into the room, with his schoolbag in his hand.

2．with + 名词 + adj.

with the door open, he left the classroom.

3．with + 名词 + adv.

With the gloves off, she felt cold.

With the lights on, the building looks beautiful.

4．with + 名词 + 现在分词（主动）

with + 名词 + 过去分词（被动）

Withthe guide leading us, we got to the village.

The boy was crying with the vase broken.

5．with + 名词 + 不定式

With the hard work to be done, we have to prepare for it.

 

 

第十一章 平行结构

Parallel Structures

 

许多句子在描述一个人或一件物品时往往会出现一系列修饰语；动词的修饰语， 即副词往往也会几个同时使用，构成平行结构，平行结构要求语法结构须保持一致，如：

 

1．系列动词：

after school, we sang, danced and played the piano in the classroom.

 

2．系列形容词：

She is slim, tall, blond and beautiful.

3．系列副词：

The students are listening to me carefully and eagerly.

平行结构不仅包括动词，形容词，副词，也包括分词，不定式，动名词，名词短语和句子等的平行用法，务必提高辨别力。
