系表结构的用法及口诀初中
1.我用am,你用are,is连着他,她,它;
单数名词用is,复数名词全用are.
am,is变was. be是原形老妈妈.
not靠后变否定; be跑句首去问它.
2.要想掌握be(am,is and are)的用法,先分清靠前人称、第二人称和第三人称:
靠前人称单数i(我) 复数we(我们)
第二人称you(你、你们)
其余都是第三人称:单数she(她) 、 he (他)、 it (它) 复数they(他们)
3.there be+宾语+过去分词:
过去分词表示被动关系,同时表示动作已经发生:
there is nothing written on it. 上面没写东西.
there were ten people killed in the accident. 事故中有10人丧生.
有时过去分词也可表示一种状态(可转换成被动结构):
there were some old men seated (=who were seated) in the back. 有些老人坐在后面.
there is a red car parked (=which is parked) outside the house. 房子外边停着一辆红色汽车.
4.there be+名词+现在分词:
现在分词表示主动关系,同时表示动作正在进行:
there is someone waiting for him. 有人在等他.
there was a man standing in front of me. 我前面站着一个男人.
there were some children swimming in the river. 有些小孩在河里游泳.
there were a group of young people working in the fields. 有一群青年在地里劳动.
有时现在分词可表示一种状态:
there’s a piano standing against the wall. 靠墙有一架钢琴.
there’re a lot of difficulties facing us. 我们面前有很多困难.
there is a door leading to the garden. 有一座门通往花园.
有个别现在分词用于该结构时可以表示将来(正如它们可用进行时表示将来一样):
there are ten people coming to dinner. 有10个人来吃晚饭.
5.there be+宾语+不定式:
不定式通常表示动作尚未发生
there was nobody to look after the child. 没有人照顾这孩子.
there was a large crowd to send him off. 有一大群人要来给他送行.
there was so much to lose that we couldn’t take any risks. 可能会有很大的损失,因此我们不能冒险.
当其中的宾语与其后的不定式为被动关系时,可用主动表被动,也可用被动式:
there is much work to do [to be done]. 有许多工作要做.
有时其中的不定式为系表结构:
there is nothing to be afraid of. 没什么可怕的.
what was there to be afraid of. 有什么可怕的?。
