托福語法常見謂語動(dòng)詞的注意事項(xiàng)
一、短語動(dòng)詞中的被動(dòng)語態(tài)
有些相當(dāng)于及物動(dòng)詞的動(dòng)詞詞組,如“動(dòng)詞+介詞”,“動(dòng)詞+副詞”等,也可以用于被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu),但要把它們看作一個(gè)整體,不能分開。其中的介詞或副詞也不能省略。
【例如】The meeting is to be put off till Friday. Women were looked down upon in the past in China. The out of date teaching method must be done away with. Don’t worry, everything will be attended to in good time. The poor child was laughed at by his classmates because he failed his exams. The children are taken good care of by the teacher.
這類可用被動(dòng)語態(tài)的“動(dòng)詞+介詞/副詞”詞組還有:depend on, make use of, bring about, put forward, send for, talk about, bring up, put on, think over, call off等。
二、非謂語動(dòng)詞的被動(dòng)語態(tài)
非謂語動(dòng)詞的各種形式也有被動(dòng)語態(tài),一般常用的是一般體和完成體的被動(dòng)語態(tài),例如: It is a great honor for him to have been elected a model worker. (不定式完成體的被動(dòng)語態(tài))This new teaching method has the advantage ofshavingsbeen tried a number of times by experienced teachers. (動(dòng)名詞完成體的被動(dòng)語態(tài))
三、不使用進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)的動(dòng)詞
凡動(dòng)詞表示人的思想、感情、態(tài)度和愿望等時(shí)一般不能用進(jìn)行時(shí),除非強(qiáng)調(diào)短暫性或含義發(fā)生變化。如感覺動(dòng)詞:appear, feel, hear, perceive, see, seem, smell, taste等;如表示心理和感情的動(dòng)詞:choose, desire, doubt, hate, love, hope, intent, like, prefer, want, believe, mean, mind, think, remember等;如表示存在和所屬關(guān)系的動(dòng)詞belong, comprise, contain, equal, have, cost, hold等。
【例如】I believed what he was saying.They love each other.The food tastes delicious.The soup contains too much salt.As we walked,she felt a joy she could not restrain.
