动词(Verbs)
动词的种类 按其作用可分为行为动词(实义动词)、连系动词、助动词和情态动词
行为动词(实义动词) 行为动词意义完整,能独立用作谓语
e.g. The sun shone brightly this morning.
连系动词 连系动词本身有一定的意义,但不完整,不能单独作谓语,必须和表语一起构成谓语。常见的连系动词有be,become,get,look,seem,feel,smell,sound,keep,become,turn,fall等 e.g. She is a good swimmer.
助动词 助动词本身没有词义,不能独立作谓语,只能和主要动词一起构成谓语,表示否定、疑问、时态、语态或其他语法形式。常见的助动词有be,have(has),do(does),will(would),shall(should)
助动词的基本形式

助动词的用法
助动词be的用法
be后面跟现在分词构成各种进行时态 e.g. My mother is cooking in the chicken.
be后面跟过去分词构成被动语态 e.g. This bridge was built twenty years ago.
be后面跟动词不定式表示根据安排要发生的事情
e.g. We are to have an English evening next week.
助动词have的用法
have后面跟过去分词构成完成时态 e.g. I have been to the teachers’ office.
have后面跟动词不定式构成谓语,表示因客观环境而不得不做的事情
e.g. It’s raining hard. She has to stay at home.
助动词do的用法
用来构成疑问句和否定句 e.g. I don’t think you are right.我认为你不对。
用来加强语气,起强调作用,一般解释为“一定要”,“真的” e.g. Do come and see me.
用来代替前面刚提到的动词以避免重复 e.g. I work harder than he does.
助动词shall/should与will/would的用法
shall构成一般将来时,should构成过去将来时,用于第一人称,后接动词原形。
e.g. We shall visit the Science Museum next month.\ He asked me if I should take part in the sports meet.
will构成一般将来时,would构成过去将来时,用于第二、三人称,后接动词原形
e.g. The weather report says that there will be heavy rain tomorrow afternoon.
【注】现代英语有一个明显的发展趋势,就是第一人称用shall表示将来时间已越来越少,大量采用will,它在陈述句中能用于所有人称,即使是第一人称疑问句也用will。
e.g. We will set off soon. \ Will I be able to go out tomorrow.
情态动词 情态动词本身有词义,表示说话人对某种动作和状态的看法,但不能独立作谓语,和动词原形一起构成谓语,情态动词没有人称和数的变化。
