謂語(yǔ)

謂語(yǔ)(predicate verb)是對(duì)主語(yǔ)動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)的陳述或說(shuō)明,指出“做什么”、“是什么”或“怎么樣”。謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的位置一般在主語(yǔ)之后。

謂語(yǔ)由動(dòng)詞構(gòu)成,依據(jù)其在句中繁簡(jiǎn)程度可把謂語(yǔ)分為簡(jiǎn)單謂語(yǔ)和復(fù)合謂語(yǔ)兩類(lèi)。不論何種時(shí)態(tài)、語(yǔ)態(tài)、語(yǔ)氣,凡由一個(gè)動(dòng)詞(或動(dòng)詞詞組)構(gòu)成的謂語(yǔ)都是簡(jiǎn)單謂語(yǔ)。

謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞一般由動(dòng)詞的各種時(shí)態(tài)來(lái)體現(xiàn)。例如:

I like walking. (一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài))

I made your birthday cake last night. (一般過(guò)去時(shí)主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài))

It is used by travellers and business people all over the world. (一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài))

復(fù)合謂語(yǔ)也可分為兩種情況:

第一種是由情態(tài)動(dòng)詞,助動(dòng)詞+不帶to的動(dòng)詞不定式構(gòu)成的復(fù)合謂語(yǔ):

What does this word mean?
I won't do it again.
You'd better catch a bus.

第二種是由連系動(dòng)詞+表語(yǔ)構(gòu)成的復(fù)合謂語(yǔ)。例如:

The weather gets warmer, and the days get longer.
Keep quiet and listen to me.
He looked worried.
