初二英語語法知識點
掌握好英語語法是學好英語的重要環節。下面是小編收集整理的以供大家學習。
:定冠詞the的運用
“If you have the intention to sell your flat. Please don't hesitate to call us, we'll offer you hightest selling price.”
第一個錯誤是句型形式“have the intention to sell”的錯誤;正確的形式是:intend to sell 或 have the intention of selling.
另外兩個錯誤和標點符號有關。一個是在副詞分句後面不該用句點而用;另一個是應該用句點的地方而不用。
“If……flat”是條件副詞分句,不可獨立生存,必須依賴後頭的主句“please……us”,才可以成為完整的複雜句***complex sentence***。這樣一來,主句前面的句點,就要改成逗號***,***了。
另外一個錯誤是兩個主句之間既沒有句點也沒有連線詞,而只有逗號;這種錯誤叫 run-on sentence:
“……, please don't hesitate to call us, we……”
這個句子裡的逗號***,***要改為句點***。***才對:
“……Please don't hesitate to call us. We……”
不用句點也可以,但要用恰當的連線詞,如:
“……,please don't hesitate to call us, as we'll offer you……”
談了3 個錯誤,現在來談最後一個錯誤,就是定冠詞*** definite article***的消失:
“We'll offer you highest selling price.”
習慣上,最高階形容詞***the superlative degree of adjectives***前面要用定冠詞 the.因此,這句話要改為:
“We'll offer you the highest selling price.”
必須使用定冠詞的例子
接下來,順便把其他必須用定冠詞的場合列下,作為參考。
一、表示世上唯一的事物,如:
①the sun; the earth; the sky; the North Pole
二、當一個名詞被再次提起時,如:
②A car knocked against a tree. We can still see the mark on the tree made by the car.
三、當名詞後面有個修飾作用的短語或分句時,如:
③The girl in red is my sister.
④The thief who stole your wallet yesterday was arrested.
四、加在某些形容詞前面,以表示某類人或事,如:
⑤The rich often get richer and the poor, poorer.
⑥The doctor lost no time in giving help to the injured.
⑦Don't expect the impossible.
加在某些山川、河流、島嶼、國家名稱之前,如:
⑧the Alps; the Thames; the British Isles; the Philippines; the Atlantic Ocean.
:動詞的運用
英語的動詞必須在人稱***person***、數目***number***、性別*** gender***和格***case***這些方面和主語取得一致或互相呼應。
在學生的英文作文中,動詞與主語呼應上的錯誤,經常出現。
下面這句話來自一個重要的公共部門的通告,裡面也出現了動詞與主語不一致的錯誤:
ABC corporation, with its five main subsidiary companies, have taken over the operations of the previous electricity and gas departments of XXX with effect from 1 october 1995.
這裡的主語是“ABC corporation”,它是單數的,動詞也應該是單數的 has,不是複數的 have,因此犯了動詞與主語不對應的錯誤。
既然這是個常見的錯誤,我們便要特別留意,並且記住下面這些指導原則:
·動詞和主語在人稱和數目上要一致,如:
① I am a writer.
② Helen is an editor.
③ They have a good future.
④ Dr Chen teaches us English.
⑤ Some old houses were burnt to the ground.
⑥ A deserted hut has already been demolished.
·兩個或兩個以上的單數主語由連線詞“and”貫串起來時,便成了複數,動詞也要複數,如:
⑦ David and Jason are colleagues.
⑧The driver and the passenger were involved in a quarrel.
·兩個主語由“with”或“as well as ”等連線時,動詞要和第一個主語的人稱及數目呼應,如:
⑨ A woman with her puppies is walking along the lake.
⑩ The monitor as well as the other students has been scolded.
·兩個主語由“either……or”或“neither……nor”連線時,動詞要和第二個主語的人稱及數目呼應,如:
11. Either you or your friend is wrong.
12. Neither John nor his classmates have said it.
·集合名詞***collective noun***當整體看待時,動詞是單數。
13. The steering committee is made up of five members.
14. The jury has made its final decision.
有時可以個別看待集合名詞裡的成員,這時這些成員合起來便變成複數,動詞也是複數了,如:
15. The committee have met once and they will meet again next month.
16. Despite hours of deliberations, the jury were still divided in their opinions.
:不定冠詞a/an的用法
不定冠詞最基本的用途就是用來表示“一”這概念,如:
① A stitch in time saves nine.
② Jason is an internationally known scholar.
此外,a/an 還有下列6種用途:
一、常和time、measurement等有關的名詞連用,以表示“每—” 的概念,如:
③ I teach five days a week.
④ This type of vegetables is sold at one dollar a kilo.
⑤ My car usually runs sixty kilometres an hour.
二、常和 hundred, thousand, dozen 以及數目及數量連用,如:
⑥ That factory turns out at least a hundred tyres a day.
⑦ Noel's monthly salary is a thousand dollars.
⑧ I have a number of sponsored students.
⑨ Mary has a lot of money.
三、在“of / at”後面出現,以表示“同一類”這概念,如:
⑩Birds of a feather flock together.
11. Please come one at a time.
12. Things of a kind come together, so do people of a mind.
四、常在“rather, quite, many, half, what, such”等字後面出現,形成固定用法,如:
13. Tom is rather a fool.
14. I think Chinese is quite a useful language.
15. Many a student has asked that question.
16. The visitor left half an hour ago.
17. What a fine day it is!
18. How can you say such a thing?
五、用在“so, as, too, how +形容詞”這些結構裡,如:
19. We have not had so hot a day before.
20. Susan is as clever a girl as Anna.
21. That is too difficult a book for beginners.
22. No one knew how serious a problem it was until later.
六、出現在許多慣用語中,如:
23. Bob always has a bone to pick with others.
24. Some students turned a deaf ear to the teacher's advice.
25. All must learn a language with an eye to mastering it.
26. I hope you will make an effort to attend the meeting punctually.
27. Jason has an aversion to being idle.
28. The news of Jack's sudden resignation came as a bolt from the blue.
