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.
