英語中的謂語是predicate,音標(biāo):英 [?pred?k?t , ?pred?ke?t] ? 美 [?pred?k?t , ?pred?ke?t]。謂語由簡單動詞或動詞短語(助動詞或情態(tài)動詞+主要動詞)構(gòu)成。

謂語動詞和非謂語動詞的區(qū)別:

1、謂語動詞和非謂語動詞辨別

1) 謂語動詞在句中可單獨作謂語,而非謂語動詞不能單獨作謂語。

Miss Mary teaches us English.
瑪麗教我們英語。

(teaches 動詞作謂語)

Mr.Victor came to our classroom to have a talk with us last week.
維克托先生上周來到了我們教室和我們談話。

(to have a talk.... 不定式作狀語)

2) 謂語動詞受主語的人稱和數(shù)的限制,而非謂語動詞形式?jīng)]有這種限制。

Larke likes the pop music.
拉克喜歡流行音樂。

(動詞用單數(shù)第三人稱形式)

Larke has nothing to do today.
今天拉克沒什么事要做。

(do 用原形)

?

3)非謂語動詞的特征:如果非謂語動詞是及物動詞,后面須跟賓語。

Studying English is my favorite.
學(xué)習(xí)英語是我的愛好。

(studying 后跟賓語)

?

2、非謂語動詞可以帶有自己的狀語或邏輯主語。

Working under such a condition is terrible.
在這樣的環(huán)境下工作太可怕了。

(under such a condition 是 working 的狀語)

It's too difficult for him to master English in such a short time.
他在這么短的時間內(nèi)掌握英語太難了。

(for him 作不定式的邏輯主語)

?

3、非謂語動詞仍有語態(tài)和時態(tài)的變化。

I am sorry to have kept you waiting long.
對不起讓你久等了。

(to have kept...是不定式的完成形式)

Seen from the mountain, the city looks much more beautiful.
從山上看,這座城市美麗多了。

(seen from...是分詞的被動形式)

?

4、非謂語動詞在句中可以當(dāng)成名詞或者形容詞來使用。

Our coming made him happy.
我們的到來使他很高興。

(coming 起名詞作用)

There are two big swimming pools here.

(swimming 起形容詞作用)
