寫作離不開句子,文章是由一個(gè)個(gè)活生生的句子組成的。要寫好一篇優(yōu)秀的書面表達(dá),除了掌握一定的選詞技巧,還必須提高遣詞造句的能力,要掌握基本的句法和詞法,重要的是掌握句型。學(xué)會(huì)改寫課文中的重要句型,學(xué)會(huì)一句多種表達(dá)。
學(xué)習(xí)句型,首先要掌握英語的基本句型,其次要學(xué)會(huì)把這些基本句型轉(zhuǎn)換或擴(kuò)展成復(fù)雜一些的、適合高中生水平的句子。
一、基本句式
1. 主語+謂語+狀語(副詞、介詞短語或狀語從句)
They have arrived here.
We get up at 6 o'clock every day.
The meeting lasted 2 hours before it came to an end.
2. 主語+不及物動(dòng)詞+副詞
This kind of wine drinks well and sells well.
The cloth washes well.
3. 主語+系動(dòng)詞+形容詞
The film we saw yesterday is very interesting.
He was so tired that he fell asleep the moment he went to bed.
Your explanation sounds reasonable.
4. 主語+謂語+賓語

5. 主語+謂語+間接賓語+直接賓語

6. 主語+謂語+賓語+to do

7. 主語+謂語+賓語(不定式)

在書面表達(dá)過程中,所寫的任何一個(gè)句子,必須屬于某一個(gè)基本句型。學(xué)習(xí)每一個(gè)常用動(dòng)詞的時(shí)候,也一定要弄清楚該動(dòng)詞屬于哪一個(gè)基本句型。
二、句式的轉(zhuǎn)換和擴(kuò)展
句子的擴(kuò)展手段有如下幾種:
1. 在名詞前加修飾語:例如:Mr. Li is a teacher.可擴(kuò)展為:Mr. Li is an experienced English teacher.
2. 在名詞后加修飾語:Mr. Li is one of the experienced English teachers in our school.
3. 在動(dòng)詞前后加狀語:例如:He works in our school.可擴(kuò)展為:He has been working in our school for twenty years.
4.加各種短語:One of my best friends, Mr. Li is an experienced English teacher. / Having taught English for more than twenty years, Mr. Li is an experienced English teacher.
5.加各種從句:He works in a school that has a history of more than 80 years.
6.加并列分句:He works in a school and he devotes all his time to teaching and his students.
7. 通過改變語態(tài):例如:The company can produce 100 mobile phones each day. 可擴(kuò)展為Each day 100 mobile phones can be produced in the company.
