这个问题让大多数学过英语的人感到头痛。其实很简单,顾名思义,非谓语动词指不能单纯作谓语的动词。换句话说就是,动词有两个用途,一个就是作谓语,叫做谓语动词,另一个就是不是谓语的动词,当然就是非谓语动词了。就像人分为两种——男人和非男人。这一点对理解非谓语动词很关键。
必须举例说明了:I like English.简单动词
He is looking for his watch.动词短语
He can swim. (情态动词+动词)
He must finish his homework before 6 o’clock. (情态动词+动词)
He is a teacher.(系动词+表语)
You look fine. (系动词+表语)
关于什么是表语,哪些家伙可以当系动词,以后再慢慢聊。
现在拿到一个句子你可以分清哪个是谓语动词了吗?不明白对照上面的几种情况,就会很容易找出。
终于可以言归正传了,能够分清谓语动词,就认出哪些是非谓语动词了。就是不是谓语的动词,都是非谓语动词。
请看下面的例句:
1.I have just finished doing my home work.
2.People found the thief escaped.
3.I sawthe horsetied to a tree.
4.To see is to believe.
5.I've never heard the song sung in English.
6.Imeanto go there at once.
7.We must learn to tellfriends from enemies.
8.He asked us to sing an English song.
9.It's a waste of time arguing with him.
10.It's no use taking this kind of medicine.
以上十个句子中,都有非谓语动词,你找到没有?记住一个句子只有一个谓语,其余的都是非谓语动词,下面下划线的就是非谓语动词,黑色的就谓语动词。
1.I have just finished doing my home work.
2.People found the thief escaped.
3.I saw the horse tied to a tree.
4.To see is to believe.
5.I've never heard the song sung in English.
6.I mean to go there at once.
7.We must learn to tell friends from enemies.
8.He asked us to sing an English song.
9.It's a waste of time arguing with him.
10.It's no use taking this kind of medicine.
很多学英语的学生都会困惑,英语就是麻烦,搞这么多名堂出来,让学习者混淆,其实不然,这正说明英语的机械,直接,我经常对我的学生说,英国人死脑经。因为我们中国人脑袋灵活,造成我们的语言也很灵活,灵活的无拘无束。英语就不行了,他必须按照一定样式来,不然就不能表现英国人的死脑经。举例说明:他要求我唱一首英语歌曲。这样的句子里面有两个动词,要求(ask)和唱(sing),要在英语里面就必须分清哪个谓语,剩下的就是非谓语动词了,否则就是错句子。He asked me.他要求我。这样这句话就没有说完,表达不清楚了。Sing an English song.同样也不是句子,谁唱呢?不清楚。怎么办?只有把他们连起来。He asked me to sing an English song.这里asked 就是谓语动词,to sing 是非谓语动词。这样表达就更完整了。
一、动词不定式的形式
动词不定式的用法
动词不定式可以充当谓语之外的所有句有子成分,动词不定式可以带宾语或状语构成不定式短语,没有人称和数的变化,但有时态和语态的变化。以动词do为例,有下面几种变化形式。
①To see is to believe.
②To master English is of great importance.
①It is impossible for him to give up smoking.
②It is not easy to find your way in the mountain.
③It is difficult for the problem to be solved.
④It is impossible for my question to be answered in his absence.
①I mean to go there at once.
②We must learn to tell friends from enemies.
①I think it necessary to report the thing to the teacher.
②I find it interesting to work with him.
(3)动词不定式还可以用作介词except、but和besides的宾语,如果介词前为动词do的某种形式,则后面接不带to的不定式,否则带to。cannot choose but、cannot help but和cannot but后的不定式也省略to。
常用句型有:
There is nothing to do but+do 例如:There is nothing to do but wait.
do nothing but/except+do例如:We can do nothing but wait.
cannot help/choose but+do例如:We cannot choose but wait.
have no choice but to do例如:We have no choice but to wait.
3.作表语
动词不定式作表语,常放在系动词之后,表示将来的动作,主语常常是表示意向、打算、计划的词,如wish,task,purpose,duty,job等。例如:
①To teach is to learn.
②My job is to help the patient.
【注意】如果在主语中(通常在主语从句或修饰主语的定语从句中)有实义动词do时,作表语的动词不定式省略to。例如:
All I want to do now (What I want to do now) is fill my stomach.
(1)不定式与被修饰的名词往往构成逻辑上的关系。如果不定式与该句的主语构成逻辑上的主谓关系,则不定式用主动形式;如果不定式与该句的主语不构成逻辑上的主谓关系,则不定式用被动形式。例如:
①He is not a man to tell lies.
②There will not be enough space to stand in on the earth.
③--- I will go home tomorrow,do you have anything to be taken to your parents?
---No,thanks.
(2)作定语的不定式与所修饰的名词之间是动宾关系, 而且不定式动词又是不及物动词时,应在该动词上加上一个介词。例如:
①He has a nice pen to write with.
②He is looking for a room to live in.
③It is said that the best way to travel by is on foot.
不定式作状语时,可表示目的、原因、结果或条件。例如:
I'm very glad to hear the news. (原因)
不定式作目的状语时,常可构成in order to, so as to 例如:
He got up early so as not to be late.
不定式可以跟在表语的形容词之后作状语。例如:
The question is difficult to answer.
有些不定式短语可以做独立成份,通常放在句首,有时置于句中或句未,须用逗号的开,如:to begin with,to be honest,to tell you the truth等。例如:
To be honest,my English is poor.
不定式作结果状语常用如下句型:
Too + 形容词/副词 + to do sth例如:
He is too young to go to school.
形容词/副词 + enough + to do sth例如:
He is old enough to dress himself.
enough+名词 +to do sth例如:
I have enough money to buy a car.
such +(形容词)名词 +as to do sth例如:
He is such a clever boy as to work out the question quickly.
so + 形容词/副词 + as to do sth例如:
He is so clever a boy as to work out the question quickly.
【注意】不定式作状语,其逻辑主语与句子主语必须一致。
【注意】不定式可以放在only后面表示未曾预料的结果。例如:
①He hurried to the railway station,only to find that the train had left.
②I got to his house ,only to be told that he wasn't in.
①We are longing for / wating for the new term to begin.
①I saw him play in the park.
→He was seen to play in the park.
②The boss made those men work day and night.
→Those men were made to work day and night.
注意:tell、advise等动词后面可以接'连接代词或连接副词+to do'作宾语补足语。例如:
You did not tell me how to pronounce the word.
①I am interested in playing basketball.
②He didn't mention having met you at the meeting.
①She didn't mind being left at home.(句子的主语she与动词leave构成动宾关系,且动作基本同时发生。)
②I forgot having been told about it. (句子的主语I与动词tell构成动宾关系,且动作已经完成。)
①Teaching is my full-time job.
②Writing an English composition is not easy.
③It's a waste of time arguing with him.
④It's no use taking this kind of medicine.
①I have just finished doing my home work.
②I suggested asking his brother for some money.
③He keeps buying expensive maps.
(1) remember(记得),forget(忘记),regret(后悔)后接不定式指该不定式所表示的动作还未发生,后接动名词(有时可用完成式),则指该动名词所表示的动作已经发生。比较:Remember to post the letter. 记住把这封信寄了。(“寄信”未发生)I remember posting the letter. 我记得寄了那封信。(“寄信”已发生)He forgot to pay me the money. 他忘记要给我付钱了。(“付钱”未发生)He forgot paying me the money. 他忘记曾给我付过钱。(“付钱”发生了)
(2) try 后接不定式表示设法做某事,接动名词表示做某事试试(看有什么效果)。如:I’ll try to come tomorrow. 我明天设法来。Let’s try knocking at the back door. 咱们敲敲后门试试。
(3) mean 后接不定式表示打算(想要)做某事,接动名词表示意味着(做某事,接动名词表示意味着要)做某事。如:He did not mean to hurt you. 他不是有意要伤害你。This illness will mean going to hospital. 得了这种病就意味着要住院。
(4) stop 后接动名词表示停止做某事,接不定式表示停下正在做的事去做另一事。如:He stopped speaking, and there was not a sound in the room. 他停止讲话,房里一点声音也没有了。He stopped to listen, but there was no more sound. 他停下来听,但再也没有听到什么声音。(stop后接的不定式不是宾语,而是目的状语)
(5) can’t help后接动名词表示禁不住做某事,接不定式表示不能帮助做某事。如:mes New Roman''>后接动名词表示禁不住做某事,接不定式表示不能帮助做某事。如:He couldn’t help crying when he heard the news. 他听到这个消息时禁不住哭了。The medicine can’t help to get rid of your cold. 这药不能帮你治好感冒。注e69da5e6ba90e799bee5baa6e79fa5e9819331333236396531:go on to do sth 和go on doing sth 也有类似差别:前者表示做完某事后接着做另一事,后者表示继续做正在做的事。如:You oughtn’t to go on living this way. 你不应该再这样生活下去了。(go on 后接doing通常被认为是现在分词而不是动名词)
Go on to do the other exercises after you have finished this one. 做完这个练习后, 请接着做其他的练习
【注意】既可接动名词也可接不定式作宾语但语态不同的动词在 need, want, require等表示“需要”的动词后,接不定式和动名词均可,且含义也相同,但是语态不同:接动名词时用主动式表示被动含义,接不定式时则要用被动式表示”My coat needs mending [to be mended]. 我的外套需要缝补一下。Your coat wants brushing [to be brushed]. 你的大衣需要刷一刷。
①We are thinking of making a new plan for the next term.
②There is no need arguing with him.
①My job is teaching. = Teaching is my job.
②Her full-time job is laying eggs.
=Laying eggs is her full-time job.
③What I hate most is being laughed at.
4.作定语:动名词作定语表示性质或用途。
a washing machine = a machine for washing
a swimming pool = a pool for swimming
过去分词只有一种形式,即done,没有其他变化形式,而现在分词有时态和语态的变化。如下表所示(以do为例)。
a developing country = a country which is developing
a sleeping boy= a boy who is sleeping
①The man standing at the window is our teacher.
② Polluted air and water are harmful to people's health.
③The building built last year was a hospital.
④The meeting being held now is very important.
I have heard of the accident having happened yesterday.而是用定语从句代替:I have heard of the accident that happened yesterday.
再如,我们不能说:
I didn't find my wallet having been stolen.而用定语从句:
I didn't find my wallet which had been stolen.
2. 作状语:现在分词作状语。表时间、原因、条件、结果、伴随(方式)等。
特点:1.分词短语作状语,其逻辑主语须与句子的主语一致.
2. 表示时间关系的分词短语有时可由连词while 或when 引导。
3.如果主语不一致,要采用独立主格结构。
现在分词的一般式doing和完成主动式having done作状语时,与句子的主语构成逻辑上的主谓关系。doing表示的动作和句子的谓语动词所表示的动作基本同时发生或现在分词的动作正在发生;having done则表示其动作先于句子的谓语动词的动作发生。例如:
①Hearing the bell,the students entered the classroom.(时间)
②Hearing the cry for help, he rushed out.(时间)
③While reading the book, he nodded from time to time.(时间)
④Having finished his work,he went home.(时间)
⑤Seeing from the hill, you can get the whole town.(条件)
⑥Not having received an answer,he decided to write another letter.(原因)
⑦The students ran out of the classroom, talking and laughing .(伴随)
⑧Football is played all around the world, making it the most popular sport.(结果)
过去分词done和现在分词的完成被动式having been done作状语时,与句子的主语构成逻辑上的动宾关系。而且表示的动作在句子的谓语动词之前就已经发生。例如:
①Given(=Having been given)a wrong number,I couldn't contact him over the phone.(原因)
②Having been warned many times,they became more and more careful in doing the job.(时间)
③Seen from the hill, the whole town is beautiful.(条件)④Not satisfied with the result, we decided to do the experiment again.(原因)⑤He entered the room,followed by his girlfriend .(伴随)
⑥If allowed, he would eat all the food in the house.(条件)
①Her work finished(=After her work had been finished), she sat down for a cup of tea.②There being no taxis(=Because there was no taxis), we had to walk.
③Weather permitting (=If weather permits), they will go on an outing tomorrow.
④An important lecture to be given tomorrow (=Because an important lecture will be given tomorrow), the professor has to stay up late into the night.
⑤He was lying on the grass,his hands crossed under his head(=and his hands were crossed under his head)
补充:其他形式的独立主格结构(n. +不定式; n. +介词短语; n. +形容词; n. +副词)例如:
①He is going to make a model plane, some old parts to help.
②The boy goes to the classroom,book in hand.
③So many people absent, the meeting had to be called off.
④The meeting over, they all went home.
①I heard the girl singing in the classroom.
②I saw a long queue outside the bank waiting for it to open.
③The baby watched his dad shaving his face with interest.
④We saw the teacher making the experiment .
①I've never heard the song sung in English.
②I saw the horse tied to a tree.
③People found the thief escaped.
4.作表语:分词放在系动词后面作表语。现在分词作表语指物,过去分词作表语指人。例如:
①The movie is inspiring.
②He is inspired by the movie.
③The story he told us was very interesting.
④He is interested in English.
