英语简单句的结构
简单句通常由主语和谓语两个部分构成。主语通常由名词词组充当,谓语由动词词组充当。句子=主语+谓语(名词词组+动词词组)
名词词组是以名词为中心词的词组,由限定词+名词中心词构成,可加其他修饰语。
These intelligent girl students in my class, who you know very well, all speak English very fluently.
除名词外,代词、数词以及某些非限定动词和名词性分句都可起名词词组的作用。
He is our monitor.
Three from seven leaves four.
Reading makes a full man.
To study one foreign language is not enough.
What caused the accident is still investigated.
某些形容词,特别是形容人 和表示国籍的形容词,一旦与定冠词搭配便可充当名词词组。
The poor are in need of food.
The chinese are a great people.
动词词组是以动词为中心词的词组。动词中心词的性质决定着动词词组的构成。
Mary is a typist.(连系动词+主语补语)
The baby cried.(不及物动词)
He rang the bell.(单宾及物动词+宾语)
He bought me a skirt.(双宾及物动词+间接宾语+直接宾语)
They elected him president.(复杂及物动词+宾语+宾语补语)
We live in Beijing.(不及物动词+状语)
She puts the pillow in the cradle. (及物动词+宾语+状语)
动词词组中心词叫做谓语动词。谓语动词又分为简单形式和复杂形式。简单谓语动词仅由一个主动词构成,而复杂谓语动词由一个或一个以上的助动词+主动词构成。
He might have left here.
It may rain.
I will be flying to Hong kong.
She has been living here for 20 years.
