英语非谓语动词的分类及其用法
一、英语非谓语动词及其分类
(一) 谓语动词与非谓语动词
英语动词有谓语动词与非谓语动词之分,在句子中充当谓语的动词,是动词的谓语形式,也叫谓语动词(Finite Verb)。如:
He is writing a letter. 他正在写信。
而在句子中充当其他成分的(如主语,宾语,表语,定语,状语等)的动词,是动词的非谓语形式,称为非谓语动词(Non-finite Verb)。如:
Smoking is not good for your health. 吸烟对你的身体有害(主语)
He found those novels hard to read. 他发现那些小说很难读。(状语)
谓语动词与非谓语动词之间最重要的区别在于前者有“时”(Tense)的标志,而后者没有“时”的标志。举例列表如下:
原形 | 现在时 | 过去时 | 不定式 | -ing分词 | -ed分词 |
walk pass eat | walk(s) pass(es) eat(s) | walked passed ate | (to) walk (to) pass (to) eat | walking passing eating | walked passed eaten |
forget |
(二) 非谓语动词的分类
英语的非谓语动词有三种:
1. 不定式(infinitive);
2. -ing 分词(-ing participle); 其中又分为现在分词与动名词;
3. -ed 分词(-ed participle)。也就是我们通常所说的过去分词。
二、非谓语动词在句法中的用法
(一)不定式的句法功能:
1. 作主语:
To lose your heart means failure.
动词不定式短语作主语时,常用it作形式主语,例如上句可用如下形式:
It means failure to lose your heart.
2. 作表语:
Her job is to clean the hall.
3. 作宾语:
常与不定式做宾语连用的动词有:want, hope, wish, offer, fail, plan, learn, pretend, refuse, manage, help, agree, promise, prefer, 如果不定式(宾语)后面有宾语补足语,则用 it 作形
式宾语,真正的宾语(不定式)后置,放在宾语补足语后面,例如:
Mary found it important to study the situation in Russia.
动词不定式也可充当介词宾语,如:
I have no choice but to stay here.
动词不定式前有时可与疑问词连用,如:
He gave us some advice on how to learn English.
4. 作宾语补足语:
在复合宾语中,动词不定式可充当宾语补足语,如下动词常跟这种复合宾语:want, wish, ask, tell, order, beg, permit, help, advise, persuade, allow, prepare, cause, force, call on, wait for, invite.
此外,介词有时也与这种复合宾语连用,如:
With a lot of work to do, he didn't go to the cinema.
有些动词如 make, let, see, watch, hear, feel, have 等与不带有 to 的不定式连用,但改为被动语态时,要还原 to。如:
I saw him cross the road.
He was seen to cross the road.
5. 作定语:
动词不定式作定语,放在所修饰的名词或代词后。与所修饰名词有如下关系:
① 动宾关系:
I have a meeting to attend.
注意:不定式为不及物动词时,所修饰的名词如果是地点、工具等,应有必要的介词,如:
He found a good house to live in.
The child has nothing to worry about.
如果不定式修饰 time, place, way,可以省略介词:
He has no place to live.
This is the best way to work out this problem.
如果不定式所修饰的名词是不定式动作的承受者,不定式可用主动式也可用被动式:
Have you got anything to send?
Have you got anything to be sent?
② 说明所修饰名词的内容:
We have made a plan to finish the work.
③ 被修饰名词是不定式逻辑主语:
He is the first to get here.
6. 作状语:
① 表目的:
He worked day and night to get the money.
She sold her hair to buy the watch chain.
注意:不定式放句首时,逻辑主语与句子主语要一致:
wrong:To save money, every means has been tried.
right:To save money, he has tried every means.
wrong:To learn English well, a dictionary is needed.
right:To learn English well, he needs a dictionary.
② 表结果:
He arrived late to find the train gone.
常用 only 放在不定式前表示强调:
I visited him only to find him out.
③ 表原因:
They were very sad to hear the news.
④ 表程度:
It's too dark for us to see anything.
7. 作独立成分:
To tell you the truth, I don't like the way he talked.
8. 不定式的省略:保留to省略do动词
If you don't want to do it, you don't need to.
9. 不定式的并列:第二个不定式可省略 to
He wished to study medicine and become a doctor.
(二)-ing 分词的句法功能——-ing 分词又分为动名词及现在分词。
1. 动名词的句法功能:
① 作主语:
Reading aloud is very helpful.
当动名词短语作主语时常用 it 作形式主语。如:
It's no use quarrelling.
② 作表语:
In the ant city, the queen's job is laying eggs.
③ 作宾语:
They haven't finished building the dam.
We have to prevent the air from being polluted.
注意:动名词既可作动词宾语也可作介词宾语,如上面两个例句。此外,动名词作宾语时,若跟有宾语补足语,则常用形式宾语 it,例如:
We found it no good making fun of others. 我们发现取笑他人不好。
注意:如下动词及短语只跟动名词作宾语:resist(抵抗),mind(介意),suggest(建议),delay(推迟),keep(on) (保持),look forward to (期昐),enjoy(喜欢),include(包括),appreciate(欣赏),imagine(想象),practise(实践),finish(完成),consider(考虑),can't help(不禁),miss(错过)。以上动词及短语可以通过口诀进行记忆:抗议(意)推辞(迟)昐喜报,心(欣)想事(实)成考不错。
④ 作定语:
Is there a swimming pool in your school?
⑤ 作同位语:
His habit, listening to the news on the radio remains unchanged.
2. 现在分词的句法功能:
① 作定语:现在分词作定语,当分词单独做定语时,放在所修饰的名词前;如果是分词短语做定语放在名词后。如:
In the following years he worked even harder.
The man speaking to the teacher is our monitor's father.
现在分词作定语相当于一个定语从句的句法功能,如:in the following years 也可用 in the years that followed; the man speaking to the teacher 可改为 the man who is speaking to the teacher.
②作表语:
The present situation is inspiring.
be + doing 既可能表示现在进行时,也可能是现在分词做表语,它们的区别在于 be + doing 表示进行的动作是进行时,而表示特征时是系动词be与现在分词构成系表结构。
③ 作宾语补足语:
如下动词后可跟现在分词作宾语补足语:see, let, make, listen, hear, have, watch, notice, feel, look at 等。如:
Can you hear her singing the song in the next room?
以上动词同样也可以通过口诀进行记忆:三让(make, let, have),三看(see, look at, watch),两听(listen, hear),注意感觉(notice, feel)。
