句子结构

英语句子是怎么组起来的——从基本骨架,到连接、从句与各种变化。

会用单词、会发音之后,下一关就是「把词组成句子」。英语的句子其实只有几种骨架,再加上连词、从句和几个变化规则,就能从「一句一句」变成「一段一段」。这页是句子结构的地图,每一节都链接到深入的专题文章。

开始句型挑战
1

基本句型:5 种骨架

英语的句子几乎都是这 5 种骨架的变化:主语 + 谓语,后面再看需不需要宾语或补语。先把骨架认熟,再长的句子都拆得开。

  • She sleeps. (S + V)
  • I like coffee. (S + V + O)
  • It is easy. (S + V + C)
  • He gave me a book. (S + V + O + O)
  • We call him Max. (S + V + O + C)
2

怎么提问

把陈述句变成疑问句,靠的是「主语和助动词对调」,没有助动词就借 do/does/did。句尾再加个「反义疑问句」就能确认对方的想法。

  • Do you like coffee?
  • Where did she go?
  • It's cold, isn't it?
3

用连词连接句子

连词是把两句话接起来的桥。并列连词(FANBOYS)连对等的成分;从属连词让一句变成另一句的附属;关联连词前后呼应。

  • I like coffee, but I am tired tonight.
  • We stayed home because it was raining.
  • Both Anna and Ben passed.
4

从句:句中有句

把一个句子嵌进另一个句子里,就是从句。定语从句用 who / which / that 补充说明名词;分词结构用 V-ing 或 p.p. 把两句话浓缩成一句。

  • The man who called you is my uncle.
  • My phone, which I bought last year, still works.
  • Walking home, I saw a rainbow.
5

句型变化

同一件事可以换不同的说法:被动语态把重点放在「被怎么样」;there is/are 说「有什么」;祈使句下指令;间接引语把别人的话「往后退一步」。

  • The cake was eaten by the kids. (passive)
  • There is a cat on the roof.
  • Please close the door. (imperative)
  • She said that she was tired. (reported)
6

条件句与虚拟

用 if 假设「如果…就…」,按照跟事实的距离分成零、第一、第二、第三条件句;想表达「真希望…」则用 wish 句型。

  • If you heat ice, it melts. (zero / first)
  • If I were you, I would rest. (second)
  • If I had known, I would have come. (third)
  • I wish I could fly.
7

比较句

两个东西比一比用比较级(-er / more),三个以上挑最厉害的用最高级(-est / most)。记住变化规则,就不会 more better 了。

  • This is bigger than that.
  • She is the tallest in the class.
