非谓语动词
非谓语动词是高中语法的重点,也是难点,学生常常对此感到头疼。其实只要理解并掌握非谓语动词各种形式的特点,做起题来会很轻松。我们在熟悉知道了非谓语动词形式后,做题时可分四步分析。
一、分析句子结构
1. ________many times , but he still couldn’t understand it .
2. ________many times , he still couldn’t understand it .
A. Having been told . B. He was told C. Told D. Though he had been told
3. ________to the left , you’ll find the post office . 4. If you ________to the left , you’ll find the post office . 5. ________to the left , and you’ll find the post office .
A. Turning B. To turn C. Turn D. Turned
二、分析逻辑主语
确定要选非谓语动词之后,第二步要分析其逻辑主语。非谓语动词虽不能作谓语,但仍具有动词特点,其逻辑上的动作执行者就叫做逻辑主语。非谓语动词作状语时,其逻辑主语须和句子的真正主语一致。若不一致,则须加上自己的逻辑主语。
1. ________no buses , we have to walk home .
A. There being B. It were C. There were D. It being
2. ______Sunday I shall have a quiet day at home .
分析:句1. 表示“没有公共汽车”,应用“there be”结构,即逻辑主语是“there”,故选A 。句2. 同理选D。
三、分析语态
分析语态就是在确定逻辑主语之后,分析非谓语动词和逻辑主语在搭配使用时是主动还是被动关系。
1. ______from space , the earth looks blue .
2.______from space , we can see the earth is blue .
A. Seen B. Seeing C. To see D.See
这两个题选项中的非谓语动词都没有加自己的逻辑主语,因此其逻辑主语就是句子的主语。
分析:句1. “地球”被“看起来”,表被动,故选A,用过去分词表被动。句2. 我们“主动看……”即表主动,故选B。
3. The dirty clothes ______ , the girl hung them up outside .
4. ______ the dirty clothes ,the girl hung them up outside . A. was washed B. washed C.were washed D.having washed
分析:句3. 前面应用非谓语动词作句子的状语,逻辑主语是“the dirty clothes”,和动词搭配表示“衣服被洗”,故选B。
句4. 逻辑主语为句子的主语“the girl”,表示“女孩洗衣服”,为主动关系,故选D。
四、分析时态,在选定了主动或被动后,还要考虑动作发生的时间问题,即时态。
1. The building ______now will be a restaurant .
2. The building ______next year will be a restaurant .
3. The building ______last year is a restaurant.
A. having been built B.to be built C.being built D. built
句1中 now 说明大楼正在被修,故用进行式,选C。
句2中next year 说明大楼将在明年被修,故用表将来的不定式,选B。
句3中 last year 说明大楼已被修,但不能选,因为现在分词的完成式不能作定语,故用过去分词,选D。
又如:
1. He stood there______for his mother .
2. ______for two hours , he went away .
A. waiting B. to wait C. waited D.Having waited
句1表示“站在那等”,两个动词同时发生,故选A作伴随状语。
句2表示已经等了两个小时,发生在谓语动词“went away ”之前,故用完成式,选D 。
需要注意的是,非谓语动词的否定也是常考的项目,要认清否定形式,非谓语动词的否定都应将not 放在前面。
如:
What is the reason for ______there ?
A. not your going B. not your go C. your not going D. you not to go
