组成句子的各个部分叫句子成分。英语句子成分有:
主语,谓语,宾语,表语,定语,状语,宾语补足语,同位语等。
我们可以把定语、状语这些成分统称为修饰语,因为主要起修饰作用。
我们把句子中的修饰语去掉,句子的主干意思也能表达出来。
顺序一般是主语,谓语,宾语,宾语补足语,
而表语,定语,状语的位置要根据情况而定。
前面学习的词性与下面要学习的句子结构有千丝万缕的联系,知识是一环套一环的,如果词性没有学好,那么句子结构肯定学不好。
主语 subject
主语是句子中最重要的部分,是句子中的主体和中心,是动作的发出者。
如果把句子当成是一个人的话,那么主语就是头。
主语表示句子主要说明的人或事物,能做主语的元素比较多。
一般由:
名词,代词,动名词,数词,动词不定式,
what从句,that从句,how从句等充当。
注意:动词原形、形容词、副词不能做主语。
名词、代词做主语

played an important part in the matter.

动名词做主语
通常表示一种抽象,泛指的动作,而不是一次性具体的动作。
动名词做主语,一般表示动作发生过。
动名词做主语时,都是单数形式。
在口语中动名词做主语很常见。
Skating
on the thin ice is dangerous.
Skating主语
on the thin ice地点状语
dangerous表语
Watching films
is my favourtie activity.
Watching films主语,因为watch在这里是不及物动词,不能单独做主语。
films虽然是复数,但watching films做联合主语,所以谓语动词用is。
Sending some flowers
to her makes her happy.
to her相当于是主语的间接宾语,makes是谓语,her是直接宾语,happy是宾语补主语。(不是很确定哈)
Being physically active
can reduce stress levels and lower blood pressure.
不定式做主语,一般表示还没完成还没发生的动作。
To become an athlete
is not an easy thing.
要成为一个运动员不是一件简单的事情。

requires teamwork.
要完成任务需要团队合作。

is not an easy thing.
谓语
谓语说明主语的动作,状态或特征,一般放在主语的后面,
谓语只能由动词来构成,但并不是所有的动词都能做谓语
。
在一个简单句中,谓语只能有一个。
非谓语动词不能单独做谓语,非谓语动词包括:
The sports industry develops
rapidly.

to join a voluntary organization.
Regular sports can improve
confidence.
助动词、情态动词与实义动词一起做组合谓语

一般可分为两类:
1),简单谓语
由动词(或短语动词)构成。
可以有不同的时态,语态和语气。
We study for the people.我们为人民学习。
In this day and age,an increasing number of people agree that
gambling is an unwholesome hobby.
2),复合谓语:情态动词+不定式
I can speak a little English.
我可以说一点英语。
独立谓语
谓语也可以由2个词构成。
及物动词做谓语
He awalys leaves
his big at school.
不及物动词做谓语
He always drink
at night.
Students often swim
in the pool in the early morning.
系动词也可以做为谓语性动词,有助于我们理解句子结构。
He looks
very tired today.
I become
a doctor after graduating from school.
The cake tastes
very sweet.
The government can help
the poor to reduce financial burden.
情态动词can与实义动词help构成组合谓语,2个词放在一起构成谓语。

seats in advance.

I don’t go
for holidays in winter.
助动词don’t与实意动词go一起组合谓语。

the meeting today.
宾语
宾语作为句子中动作的承受者或接受者,一般在谓语的后面。
跟在及物动词之后,能作宾语的有:
名词
,代词
,动名词
,动词不定式
,数词,
that从句,what从句,how从句等。
能做主语的元素也可以做宾语
We like English.我们喜欢英语。
有些及物动词可以带两个宾语,往往一个指人,一个指物,指人的叫间接宾语,指物的叫直接宾语。
He gave me some ink.他给了我一点墨水。
有些及物动词的宾语后面还需要有一个补足语,意思才完整,宾语和它的补足语构成复合宾语。如:
We make him our mon’itor.我们选他当班长。

表语
表语相当于是一种特殊的宾语,用于主系表句型中。
它一般位于系动词之后,说明主语性质,身份,地位,特征,属性或状态。
一般由名词
,代词,形容词
,副词,不定式
,介词短语&介宾短语
等充当。
形容词做表语

定语
定语是修饰语的一种,
在句中限定或修饰名词、名词性短语或代词的成分叫定语。
用作定语的主要是形容词或形容词性的短语
,此外还有:
代词,数词,名词,副词,动词不定式,介词短语&介宾短语
、动名词&现在分词等。
用句子来修饰名词或代词则称为定语从句。
形容词,代词,数词,名词等作定语时,
一般放在被修饰的词前面,称为前置定语。
形容词做前置定语
形容词在句子中既可以作前置定语也可以做后置定语。

fire wall 防火墙.
但是也有复数形式,例如:

后置定语
当副词,动词不定式,介词短语等作定语时,则放在被修饰的词之后。
称为后置定语。
后置定语翻译的时候需要放在前面翻译,语序的问题会造成一些困扰。
形容词做后置定语

have a variety of job opportunities.

is higher.

分词做定语
如果分词与被修饰的词是主动关系则用现在分词,如果是被动关系则用过去分词。

this week.
主动关系,行动上是主动去考试。

修饰动词,形容词,副词以及全句的句子成分,叫做状语。
用作状语的通常是副词
,介词短语,分词&分词短语,动词不定式,分词。
状语一般放在被修饰的词之后或放在句尾。
副词作状语时可放在被修饰的词前或句首。
这叫状语提前,是一种高级语法现象。
状语用来表示方式、因果、条件、时间、地点、让步、结果等。
方式
I go to Japan by ship.
因果
I didn’t pass the exam because of the bad weather.
条件

同位语一般是一个名词后面跟一个短语,用来解释说明这个名词。
两个单词或者一句话和一个单词,它们俩的地位是一样的,做一样的句子成分。
那什么是地位不一样呢?
像a beautiful girl,beautiful和girl的地位就不一样,
girl比beautiful的地位更高一些,因为beautiful是用来修饰girl的,把beautiful删掉也不会影响句子大意。
