第五章 未来式
5§1 未来式的基本规则
如果我们在句子中,有需要提到未来的事情,就可以使用未来式,举例来说,以下的句子都用未来式。
I will go to America tomorrow. He will dance tonight. Peter will finish his work next month.
如果不用〝will〞,我们可以用〝verb to be +going to+ verb〞,如果我们如此做,以上的三个句子就变成了以下的句子
I am going to go to America tomorrow. He is going to dance tonight. Peter is going to finish his work next month.
以下是一些未来式的例子:
1. I will call you tonight. I am going to call you tonight.
2. He will graduate next June. He is going to graduate next June.
3. Mr. Lee will teach us English soon. Mr. Lee is going to teach us English soon.
4. He will help you. He is going to help you.
5. The war will break out soon. The war is going to break out soon.
6. It will rain tonight. It is going to rain tonight.
有一个规则必须注意,就是will是一个助动词,现在式第三人称单数的主词,仍不用在will后面加s。
不仅如此,will后面的动词必须用成原式,如果用verb to be +going to+ verb这里面的verb也必须用原式。
因为这里面的to式infinitive,infinitive里面永远要用原型动词。
以下例子都是错的
1.*He wills go to school.
2.*He will goes to school.
3.*They will went to work tomorrow.
4.*Tom is going to saw me tonight.
5.*Peter is going to working next month.
1. When you come tomorrow, I will already be in Taipei.
2. After I graduate, I am going to be a good doctor in Africa.
3. Before I leave tomorrow, I will finish my work.
4. After the war is over, every one will be happy.
5. I will go to a concert after my classes are over.
6. I will eat lunch as soon as I have time.
但千万不可写出以下错误的句子:
*When you will come tomorrow, I will already be in Taipei.
*After the war will be over, every one will be happy.
*I will eat lunch as soon as I will have time.
【练习十八】将以下的中文句子翻成英文句子,用will或to be going to:
1. 我明天要上教堂(go to church)。
2. 他下周一要和我见面。
3. 他明天要整理这个房间(clean this room)。
4. 我明天吃晚饭后要去台北。
5. 我明天晚上回家以后,就打电话给你。
6. 我毕业以后会去念法律。
7. 明天你走以后,我要看电视.。
8. 明天我会去台南。
9. 今天晚上我要写一封信给你。
10. 今晚,我要等我的哥哥。
【练习十九】填空:
I (be) in America next year, after I (graduate).
I (explain) this to you tonight after I (read) the report.
I (see) you tonight.
As soon as you (come) to see me, I (give) you my book.
When you (arrive) in New York tomorrow, Tom (be) in the airport to meet you.
I (go) to church after the rain stops.
I (watch) the new TV program after you (leave).
When you (get) here tomorrow, everyone (wait) for you.
I (get) a job as soon as I get out of college.
He________ (have) dinner very late tomorrow.
I________ (quit) my present job, after I________ (find) a better one.
5§2 未来式的变形
未来式可以和进行式合起来用,以下是未来进行式的例子
I will be watching TV tomorrow at eight.
He will be eating a big dinner after he gets out of the hospital.
I will be studying mathematics at home when you come.
Two days later, I will be driving a new car.
未来式可以和完成式合在一起用,而成为未来完成式,这种句子都是在于强调未来要完成的事。举例来说,"我明天六点以前,我会完成这工作了",就可以用未来完成式:I will have finished this work by six o'clock tomorrow.
以下是一些未来完成式的例子
By the time he arrives at the station, the train will have left.
We will have had three meetings before six o'clock tonight.
He will have written six novels next summer.
【练习二十】填充:(用未来进行式或未来完成式)
I (watch) the baseball game tomorrow night. He (finish) the report when you arrive at his home.
I (wash) my car tonight when my mother comes. They (play) their violins when the clck strikes twelve.
He (be) the president for three years next May. I (drive) four hundred miles tomorrow.
I (wash) my car when you come tonight. I (read) this report before six o'clock tomorrow evening.
He (complete) writing this program before ten o'clock tonight.
Peter (dance) in the streets if Mr. Robertson is elected president.
【练习二十一】将以下中文句子译成英文
1. 彼得生于1965年,他从小就喜欢音乐,自从1975年起,他就一直在练习小提琴。现在他是一个很好的小提琴家。
2. 我的哥哥明天会来看我,他来的时候,我会在家里看电视。我喜欢看有关医院的节目。
3. 在我小的时候我常常喜欢打篮球,现在我不打篮球了,因为我曾有一次车祸(car accident)。
4. 我现在在打电话给我的母亲,我的母亲现在88岁,他在台北已经住了60年。
5. 在我去美国以前,我曾经去过英国,当我在英国的时候,我碰见了一个美丽的女孩子,他后来成为我的太太。
【练习二十二】填充
I (watching) TV now. I (watch) TV every day.
He (have) a big dinner before we arrived last night. It (be) a good meal. He seldom (eat) so much.
He (work) on this novel for a very long time. By the time he (finish) it, he (written) six novels.
I (be) to America several times. I (go) to America again next year.

I (have) this car for nine years. I (sell) it and (buy) a new one next year.
He (take) a bath every morning. Today, since he (get) up very late, he (go) to school directly without taking a bath.
第六章 否定句子(Negative Sentences)
6§1 否定句的基本规则
在任何语言,我们都有必要造出〝否定〞的句子,在中文,写出否定句子并非难事,在英文,无论任何否定句子,都必须遵行一些规定,以下是否定句子的例子
肯定句子
否定句子
I like music.
I don't like music.
He loves swimming.
He does not love swimming.
They have come to work.
They have not come to work.
Mary went to see a movie yesterday.
Mary did not go to see a movie yesterday.
John is a good boy.
John is not a good boy.
I will go to New York tomorrow.
I will not go to New York tomorrow.
He can sing.
He can not sing.
You may go now.
You may not go now.
He should sleep early.
He should not sleep early.
It is raining now.
It is not raining now.
It rains very often here.
It does not rain very often here.
He has a lot of money.
He does not have a lot of money.
It is exciting to see this game.
It is not exciting to see this game.
He asked me three questions.
He did not ask me three questions.
从以上的例子来看,我们可以归纳出以下的规则:
1.Verb to be 后面可以直接加not。例如:
He is not a good teacher.
Mary was not very happy when she was young.
They are not strong boys.
Peter is not coming.
John is not going to work.
He has not written any letter.
They will not come.
He cannot swim.
They should not cry very often.
Tom had not eaten any thing before you came.
He may never eat cakes in the future.
John has not lived here.
He does not smoke.
He did not go.
I do not love sports.
You do not like to eat fish.
They do not swim very well.
We did not see that movie.
在英文中,我们可以用have to来代替must,以下是have to的例子:
He has to go to Chicago tomorrow.(他明天应该去芝加哥)
They had to buy three tickets to go to the concert.(他们必须买三张票去听音乐会)
I have to work very hard.(我必须努力工作)
含有have to的句子,如要改成否定句子,必须在have to前面加do或它的变形,请看以下的例子:
肯定句子
否定句子
He has to eat a lot of food.
He does not have to eat a lot of food.
He had to leave
He did not have to leave.
I have to write that letter.
I do not have to write that letter.
I saw your brother last night.
I like apples.
She is a beautiful girl.
They can play violin very well.
Mr. Chang must answer the following questions.
He went to see his brother last night.
He could sing many songs.
He will buy this car.
It rained heavily last night.
I have lived here for three years.
He has to see his mother.
He had to stay here yesterday.
6§2 No, Never和Any的用法
要达成否定的意思,有时我们也可以用no和never这些字,no必须跟一个名词,请看下面的例子:
1.I saw no students here.
2.There are no lakes in this country.
3.I have no money.
4.I had no choice.
5.He has no friends.
以上这些例子也可以用not来表示否定的意思,如果用not,则以上的句子应该照下面的方式写;
1.I did not see any student here.
2.We can not find any lake in this country.
3.I do not have any money.
4.I did not have any choice.
5.He does not have any friends.
除以上not之外,never也可以表达否定的意思,以下都是never的例子,请注意never常用在完成式的句子里:
I have never gone there. He has never written any song. They have never washed their clothes.
【练习二十四】用no,not和never填空在以下的句子里:
I have money.
A selfish person does have any friends.
man is entirely alone.
one is living here. We can get into this house.
a single person loves me.
one loves me.
The person whom I saw did come.
I did go to work yesterday.
I had work to do yesterday.
I can find any one in this hall.
I have gone to America.
He has written to me.
第七章 问句(Questions)
7§1 答案只是〝Yes〞或〝No〞的问题:有些问题,答案只有〝Yes〞或〝No〞,以下是一些例子。
原来句子
问句
I am a boy.
Am I a boy?
He has a car.
Does he have a car?
I gave him three books.
Did I give him three books?
He cannot work.
Can he work?
He has not seen me.
Has he seen me?
They like your novel.
Do They like your novel?
The sun sets in the west.
Does the sunset in the west?
They are good teachers.
Are they good teachers?
He will not go to a concert tonight.
Will he go to a concert tonight?
He is going to swim.
Is he going to swim?
They must eat vegetables.
Must they eat vegetables?
They have to go.
Do they have to go?
I walked two kilometers yesterday.
Did I walk two kilometers yesterday?
It is raining now.
Is it raining now?
根据以上的例子,我们可以归纳乘以下的规则:
凡动词是verb to be的,变成问句时,动词移到主词前面去。
例子:
原来句子
问句
You are a girl.
Are you a girl?
He was a teacher.
Was he a teacher?
They were all old.
Were they all old?
This song is beautiful.
Is this song beautiful?
Peter is a good student.
Is Peter a good student?
动词不是verb to be,也没有助动词,改成问句时,必须加助动词do或他的变形,这个助动词必须在主词的前面。
例子:
原来句子
问句
I like music.
Do I like music?
He likes sports.
Does he like sports?
Peter went to America.
Did Peter go to America?
He ate three apples last night.
Did he eat three apples last night?
Her mother calls her every week.
Does her mother call her every week?
句子中间如已有助动词,改成问句时,只要将助动词移到主动词前面即可。例子:
原来句子
问句
He did not eat.
Did he eat?
He has gone to America.
Has he gone to America?
She can dance.
Can she dance?
I will see you tonight.
Will I see you tonight?
They are going to Washington.
Are they going to Washington?
我们的问句中,当然也可已有否定的意义,比方说,我们可以问:
你不喜欢音乐吗?他不是你的弟弟吗?你从未见过他?
英文句子也可以如此,例如:
Don't you like music?
Doesn't he play piano?
Aren't you his brother?
Isn't he a good student?
Didn't he go to school?
Hasn't he lived here?
Won't he leave tomorrow?
注意,这时not通常和动词连在一起了。
有一件事,是我们中国人必须注意的,假如有人问你:你不喜欢音乐吗?而你本人的确也不喜欢音乐,你会回答说:是,我不喜欢音乐。也就是说,我们中国人的回答是顺着问句的。问句说你不喜欢,我们同意他的说法,所以前面加一个〝是〞。假设我喜欢音乐,我会回答说:不,我喜欢音乐。
可是,英文正好相反,英文的yes和no,与问句的问法无关,而对应了回答的事实。举例来说,我们的问句也许是:
Don't you like music?
你如不喜欢音乐就回答说:No, I don't like music.
你如喜欢音乐,就回答说:Yes, I like music.
再举一例,有人问:Isn't he Chinese?他是中国人就回答:Yes, he is.他如不是,就回答:No, he isn't.
反正,英文的yes和no,都和答案的事实对应,而与如何问无关。
【练习二十五】将以下句子翻译成英文问句:
你喜欢他吗?
他是美国人吗?
你昨天有没有去教堂?
他曾经到过日本吗?
你要去台北吗?
他不喜欢体育吗?
你从未去过日本吗?
他有一个妹妹吗?
他们都是学生吗?
你的哥哥昨天见过我爸爸吗?
7§2 回答不只是〝yes〞和〝no〞的问句: 问句的答案当然不一定只是yes或no,以下的问句都是例子:
Where did you buy this book?
Where did you see him?
How do you like America?
Whom do you like?
Which cake do you want?
Whose book is this?
What kind of method is this?
Which country were you born in?
Which do you want, an apple or an orange?
Whom do you like most, your brother or your sister?
Where did you go last night?
When did you meet your father?
When did you read this book?
Whom did you give this book to?
以上的问句中都有助动词,但以下的问句中,助动词是不存在的:
Who gave you this car?
Who wrote this letter?
Who took my pen away?
Who wants to go with me?
Who can sing this song?
你在哪里买这本书的?
他什么时候到美国去的?
他爸爸的名字是什么?
这是谁的书?
你从哪里来的?
你要哪一本书?
这个孩子是谁?
他最喜欢谁?
他叫什么名字?
你昨天到哪里去了?
这是谁的狗?
did you go last night?
book do you like?
is your brother?
is his name?
wrote this letter?
did you give this book to?
gave you this book?
car is this?
dog is this?
movie did you see?
can speak English?
did you speak to?
kind of car is this?
fruit do you like most?
does not swim?
第十三章 形容词的比较级
如果我们要翻译〝他比较老〞,我们不能说* He is more old.。而一定要说He is older.
为什么呢?这是因为英文里面的形容词有所谓的比较级规则。在下一节,我们讲一些最基本的规则。
13§1 最基本的规则
首先,我们要说明英文形容词有三个等级:原级、比较级和最高级,最基本的规则是根据音节的多少来分的。一般来说,单音节的形容词在字后面加er,就变成了比较级,加est就变成了最高级,而双音节,或双音节以上的形容词,比较级是在字前面加more,最高级则是在字前面加most,举例来说,old, smart, strong, weak, high, low等等都是单音节的形容词,他们的变化如下:
原级
比较级
最高级
old
older
oldest
smart
smarter
smartest
strong
stronger
strongest
weak
weaker
weakest
high
higher
highest
low
lower
lowest
以上的形容词,都是单音节的,以下的例子都有关双音节的形容词:
原级
比较级
最高级
difficult
more difficult
most difficult
delicious
more delicious
most delicious
beautiful
more beautiful
most beautiful
correct
more correct
most correct
stupid
more stupid
most stupid
significant
more significant
most significant
有一个规则必须注意,我们不能将more和er混在一齐用,以下的例子都是错的:
He is more older than I. He is more taller than his brother.
正确的句子是: He is older than I. He is taller than his brother.
【练习六十二】写出以下形容词的比较级:
small
slow
intelligent
expensive
tall
short
important
cheap
famous
cold
fast
careful
colorful
long
dark
bright
13§2 特殊的比较级规则
在上一节,我们说明了最基本的规则,那就是单音节形容词加er或est,双音节的形容词前面加more或most。但以下就是这些基本规则的例外。
单音节形容词的字是e,就直接加r或st:
原级
比较级
最高级
large
larger
largest
late
later
latest
nice
nicer
nicest
wise
wiser
wisest
形容词的字尾是y,而前一个子母是一个子音,则除掉y,加上ier,或iest:
原级
比较级
最高级
lucky
luckier
luckiest
happ
happier
happiest
pretty
prettier
prettiest
dry
drier
driest
easy
easier
easiest
单音节形容词的字尾是子音,前一音是一个元音,则字尾必须重复一次,再加er或est:
原级
比较级
最高级
fat
fatter
fattest
hot
hotter
hottest
wet
wetter
wettest
big
bigger
biggest
完全不规则的变化:英文中,有几个特殊的字,他们的比较级完全没有规则,以下是一些例子,读者必须记住:
原级
比较级
最高级
good
well
better
best
bad
worse
worst
many
much
more
most
cute
wide
early
happy
heavy
thin
easy
hot
wise
large
good
bad
many
13§3 比较形的用法:大多数比较级句子里会有than,以下是一些例子:
I am older than he.
His English is better than mine.
San Francisco is more beautiful than New York.
His car is cheaper than your car.
He is the most diligent student in his class.
I like apples more than oranges.
He has more money than his brother.
He is stronger than his brother.
必须注意的是以下的句子是错的: I am older than him. She is smarter than me.
为什么错了呢?因为原来句子应该是:I am older than he (is). She is more smart than I (am).
习惯上的is和am都省略掉的,由以上的解释可以看出,than后面的句词应该是主词,而非受词。
以下的错误,也请特别注意:My head is larger than your.
正确的句子是:My head is larger than your head. 或者My head is larger than yours.
请看以下几个错误的句子:
My house is larger than your. 正确的句子应该是:My house is larger than your house.或者My house is larger than yours.
The temperature of this city is higher than San Francisco. 正确的句子应该是:The temperature of this city is higher than the temperature of San Francisco.或者The Temperature of this city is higher than that of San Francisco.
The height of Himalayas is greater than Mt. Fuji. 正确的句子应该是:The height of Himalayas is greater than the height of Mt. Fuji.或者The height of Himalayas is greater than that of Mt. Fuji.
My bicycle is older than his.
请注意以下的例子,句子中没有than,但仍有比较级:
Among all the teachers who have taught me, he is the best.
This is the best movie I have ever seen.
This food is the worst one which I have ever eaten.
John is the stronger one.
Do we have a better choice?
Mary is the more diligent one.
He is the older of the two.
He is one of the best movie actors.
This area is one of the hottest areas in the world.
He is one of the fastest swimmers of America.
This is a book which I like most.
*He is more old than I.
*She is younger than me.
*This university is more larger than that university.
*He is more older than my brother.
*His house is older than my.
*The size of this city is larger than San Francisco.
*She is taller than him.
*The height of this boy is greater than his brother.
*He is the most good student in my class.
*He is the more bad one.
你比他强壮。
他的英文比我的好。
他比他的弟弟更富有。
他是世界上最富有的人。
这支笔比你的贵得多。
喜马拉雅山是世界上最高的山。
亚马孙河是世界上最长的河。
他比他的爸爸高。
他是班上最好的学生。
在我遇到的人中,他是最高的。
1. He is (old)than John.
2. This problem is one of the (difficult)problems that I have ever seen.
3. This is one of the (good)movies that I have ever seen.
4. Do we have a (good)choice?
5. This place is (hot)than San Francisco.
6. He is (famous)than his sister.
7. She is getting (bad)now.
8. He is feeling (well)now.
9. He has (much)money than his father.
10. Mary is one of (beautiful)student in her class.
11. He is (happy)than before.
12. Peter is getting (thin).
13. This summer is (hot)than last summer.
14. You have a (bright)future now.
15. He has (many)students than I.
16. I feel much (well)now.
17. He is (careful)than you.
18. Time is (important)than money.
第十四章 总复习的例子
在这一章,我们将给很多简短的文章,每一段文章的后面,我们都会有详细的解释,相信这些解释将有助于读者对于文法的了解。
(1)Dear Mother:
I arrived at th Taipei Train Station around one o'clock in the afternoon yesterday. My friend, Mr. Chen, greeted me in the station. We took a taxi to go directly to the university and checked into the dormitory. The dormitory is a very old one. I will live with three other boys and I met two of them already. Both of them are from Taichung and they are both quite friendly.
We went to the dormitory cafeteria for dinner. The food is not that good. Dear Mother, I miss you and especially the food you cooked for me.
Your son
这封信很简单,所叙述的事情不是用简单的现在式,就是简单的过去式,当然也有一次用了未来式。
绝大多数的句子都用了简单的过去式,因为这些句子都是叙述过去所发生的事,用现在式的有以下几句:
The dormitory is a very old one. Both of them are from Taichung.
The food is not that good. I miss you and the food you cooked for me.
为什么这几句话要用现在式呢?道理很简单,这几句话描写的是一些状态,而并非过去发生的事。四个句子都是目前存在的事实,所以要用现在式。
现在我们不妨看一下冠词的情形,我们可以看到很多地方都用了the,如:
the Taipei Train Station the afternoon the station the university the dormitory cafeteria
the dormitory the food the food you cooked for me
各位读者一定可以注意到在the后面的名词都有所指,举例来说,the university指那所作者要去念的大学,他的妈妈知道他所说的是那一所大学。The dormitory指那间他已搬进去住的宿舍。凡是有所指的名词前面,原则上都应该加the。
哪里用了〝a〞呢?注意,我们用了两次 a taxi a very old one
读者应该不难看出为什么这里我们不能用the,而一定要用a。
(2) Mary: "Hello, this is Mary. Who is calling?"
John: "Hi, this is John. How are you?"
Mary: "I am doing fine. In fact, I am studying for the final examination now."
John: "Oh, I am sorry. When will the exam be over?"
Mary: "This Friday."
John: "Then, can we have dinner Friday evening?"
Mary: "OK, where are we going to eat?"
John: "How about the Chinese restaurant called Four Seasons?"
Mary: "That is all right with me. When do we meet?"
John: "How about six o'clock?"
Mary: "That's it. See you Friday evening at 6 o'clock at the Four Seasons."
这一篇短文主要的目的在于介绍所谓现在进行式。
Who is calling. I am doing fine. I am studying for the final examination now.
都是标准的现在进行式,事实上,也必须用现在进行式。
(3) I have been interested in music ever since I was a small child. When I was seven years old, my mother gave me a violin as a birthday present. I have been taking violin lessons ever since.
I am so much interested in music that I finally decided to go to music school. This was a hard decision for me. I consulted with my parents. Both of them encouraged me to go ahead.
Yesterday, I was accepted by one of the best music schools in Taiwan. I am really happy about this.
这一段话中,我们开始用现在完成式,比方说第一句话就是I have been interested in music ever since I was a small child.
为什么要用现在完成式呢?道理很简单,这句话里面有有〝ever since〞这个词,凡是有了这个词句,我们就一定要用现在完成式了。
另外一句用了现在完成进行式的句子是:I have been taking violin lessons ever since.
读者不妨去看看第四章,就知道为什么这里要用现在完成进行式了。凡是〝自从〞某某日开始,而就一直在做的事情,就应该用现在完成式,或者现在完成进行式。
这一段文章里面,我们还用了被动语气。I was accepted by one of the best music schools in Taiwan.
各位读者不妨注意,这被动语气的用法是很正当而且适宜的,如用主动这句话变成了One of the best music schools accepted me.这样反而并不太能表达原意。
(4)Before I got into college, I had been to the United States and lived there for one year. This is why I could speak English better than average students.
As I studied as a college student, Hitler was secretly preparing for the Second World War. The war erupted finally when I was a senior. I was forced to quit school and was drafted into the army. I luckily survived the war and came back to resume my studying after the war was over. Since I had gone to the war, I was more mature than most of the other students. Even now, I can still remember my days as a college student as well as a soldier.
这篇文章介绍了如何使用过去完成式,第一句话就用了过去完成式,因为有两件事,一件是〝进大学〞,另一件是〝去过美国〞,由于在进大学以前去美国,所以〝去美国〞就用了过去完成式。
请注意第二段的第一句: As I studied as a college student, Hitler was secretly preparing for the Second World War.
这一次,我们用了过去进行式,因为有两件事,〝在学校念书〞是一件事,〝希特勒在准备发动第二次世界大战〞是另一件事,其中有一件可以用过去完成式。
同理,在第二段话的最后一句话中,〝曾经去打过仗〞用了过去完成式。
这段文章中,有一句话用了被动语气,读者不妨看这句话〝I was forced to quit school.〞,其实我们在这种情形之下,我们必须用被动语气,当然也可以用主动语气,不过那并不太自然。
也请读者注意这段文章的最后一句话仍一定要用现在式。
(5)I have been interested in reading novels for a long time. Among all of the novels that I have read, I like detective novels the most. Among all detective novels, I especially like those written by Agatha Christe.
Last year, I started reading another kind of novels, namely science fictions. I found out that some science fiction writers are quite philosophical. Unfortunately, there are not too many of them.
I always have a dream that one day I will be good in writing novels. Do you think that my dreams may come true?
这段文章中,我们介绍了动名词的用法,第一句话的reading就是动名词,除此以外,我们还有两处用了动名词:started reading和good in writing。
读者也应该了解为什么第一句话要用现在完成进行式,在第二句话里面,当我们形容novels,我们也用了现在完成式。
请读者注意第一段的最后一句话,those written by Agatha Christe。在这里,written是一个过去分词用作了形容词,形容novels,我们也可以说those which were written by Agatha Christe.
顺便讲一下,Agatha Christe是一位非常著名的侦探小说作者。
也请大家注意,我们只能说interested in reading,而不能说interesting in reading。
(6)Tomorrow, there will be a dancing party in our university. Since we are freshmen and most of us have never been to a large dancing party, we are naturally very much excited. I must say that I am not that excited. Although dancing is interesting, I often think that the music is too loud. Besides, as a bystander, I often find the way that the young people dance these days is so funny. When they dance, they often remind me of monkeys.
Well, I must admit that playing basketball is more interesting to me. But, unfortunately, I cannot play basketball tomorrow because the courts will be used for the dancing party.
这一段话主要的目的是介绍现分词和过去分词用成形容词的做法。第一个现在分词是dancing,dancing 在这里形容party。
我们在这里看到有些时候,我们应该用现在分词,有时要用过去分词。请看以下的句子:
We are naturally very much excited.在这里,我们一定要用excited,绝对不能用*We are naturally very exciting.
下一句Although dancing is interesting,在这里,我们必须用interesting,而不能用interested。也就是说,我们不能说
*Although dancing is interested.
(7)We probably all believe that we should love others and forgive those who do bad things to us. Unfortunately it is often hard for us to practice what we believe in. For example, if someone really hurts us badly, we just do not know what we should do. Should we take some kind of action to hurt the person who hurt us, or should we forgive him?
The truth is that we may still seek justice. It is right if we want a criminal to go to jail for his crime. Yet, we should never have hatred in our hearts.
这篇文章的目的在介绍〝子句〞的用法,请注意这篇文章内的很多子句,举例来说
that we should love others and forgive those who do bad things.
就是一个子句,这个子句是believe的受词,有趣的是,这个子句内部又有一个子句,那就是who do bad things to do.
这个子句是形容those的。
以下是这一段文章的全部子句:
that we should love others and forgive those who do bad things to us what we believe in
what we should do that we may still seek justice
