一、形容词、副词知识精讲
一、表语形容词:某些形容词一般只用作表语而不用作定语。
①部分以 a-开头的形容词,常用的有:afraid,alike,alone,asleep,alive, absent,awak ashamed,ahead。
He is alone and he is asleep now.
②sorry, fond,sure,glad,mistaken 等常只用作表语。 He is glad that the book is worth reading
二、部分以-ly结尾的词是形容词而非副词,常用作定语、表语等。
lovely,friendly,likely,deadly,silly,orderly,homely,daily,weekly, ugly. timely. live lonely,brotherly
Although she was ugly and silly, she became a famous actress later. He said“Good-bye" to me in a friendly way.
三、形容词的位置。
1.单个形容词修饰名词时,一般前置。 a good / wonderful film
但修饰由one.no.any.some和every构成的复合不定代词时需后置。 He has nothing important to tell you but I have something serious to do.
2.形容词短语作定语需后置。
The old man gave me a basket full of apples
3.多个形容词修饰名词时,与被修饰名词关系越密切的形容词越靠近名词,其位置一般循下列顺序:限定词(the,a,these)+描绘性形容词+大小(长短、高低)+形状(新旧年龄)+颜国籍(来源、地区、出处)+物质(材料、质地)+目的(用途、类别)+中心词。
可按“美小圆旧黄,英国木书房”记忆其顺序。 a lovely small black physics student my new large brown stone house
It was great. We visited some friends, and spent the last few sunny days at the seaside.
四、副词的位置。
1.英文中时间副词和地点副词一般置于句末。如两者同时出现时,则地点在前,时间在后,也可将时间置于句首。
Mary had a walk in the People's Park on Sunday.
2.不确定时间副词如always, often, never, seldom 等常置于实义动词之前,置助动词、情态动词和 be 动词之后。
One should always help others. You are always kind.
They seldom come late to school.
3.程度副词如very,almost, quite 等一般置于被修饰词之前,但enough 修饰形容词、副词时则须置其后,修饰名词时一般置其前。
What you said is quite right.
We have enough time and enough money to do the work.
Cto take this adventure course will lean a lot of useful skills.
A. Brave enough students B. Enough brave students
C.Students brave enough D. Students enough brave
五、分清以-ly结尾的副词与不以-ly结尾的副词或形容词的意义及用法。
①两种词意义区别较大
hard adj. & adv努力;难的 hardly adv.几乎不
late adj. & adv.晚,迟 lately adv.最近,不久前
nearly adv.几乎,差不多
near adv.& adj.接近
close adv.& adj.靠近 closely adv.密切地
clear adv. & adj.干净地 clearly adv.清楚地
He made it elear that the work was nearly completed.
②下列几组词形中,以-ly结尾的词表示抽象意义,而不以-ly结尾的词表示具体意义。
具体意义 抽象意义
wide adv.& adj.宽 widely adv.广泛地
deep: adv.& adj.深 deeply adv.深深地
high adv. & adj.高 highly adv.高度地
We think highly of what he has done.(高度评价) They are deeply moved by the story.(深深地感动) The old man sat there, deep in thought.(陷入沉思 deep into the night (深夜)
六、动词 grow,get,become,look,keep,smell,sound,taste,appear,seem 等可用作系动词或实义动词,如作系动词其后接形容词作表语,如是实义动词则用副词作状语。
He looked sad at the sight of the English paper. He looked sadly at the English paper. These oranges taste A
A.good B.well C.a larger D.the large
七、部分形容词如:easy,difficult,heavy,hard,nice,dangerous,impossible等作表语或宾语补足语时后接不定式的主动形式表示被动意义。
The words which were carved on animal bones are difficult to read.
The new room is nice to live in. = It is nice to live in the new room. = To live in the new room is nice.
