简单句

英语语法名词

简单句就是只含有一个主谓结构并且句子各成分都只由单词或短语构成的独立句子或分句。在简单句中主语和谓语是句子的主干，是句子的核心。

概念

简单句就是只包含一个主谓结构的句子。

简单句中句子各成分都是只由单词或短语构成的。

在简单句中主谓结构是句子的主干，是句子的核心。

简单句可归纳为五个基本句型。

表达简单句使用哪个基本句型，取决于该句子中的谓语动词。

也就是说不同类型的谓语动词，要求使用不同类型的基本句型。

句型分类

根据语法形式，即句子的结构，英语的句子可分为简单句、并列句和复合句。

基本形式

简单句的基本形式是由一个主语加一个谓语构成。其它各种句子形式都是由此句型发展而来，如五大基本句型：

基本句型

1.主语+谓语动词

这里的谓语动词是不及物动词，例：

Things change.事物是变化的。

Nobody went.没有人去。

--Did you go by sea？你们走的是海路吗？

--NO, we flew.不，我们是飞去。

2.主语+（连）系动词+表语

也叫做主系表

（连）系动词实际上就是把表语的性质传递给主语

这种句型称为主系表结构，其实连系动词在形式上也是一种谓语动词，但实质上表语成了谓语，例：

He looks tall.他看起来高。

Mr. Turner is an artist.特纳先生是位画家。

注：我们平常所说的be动词有两种含义：

1、助动词的be；

2、作为（连）系动词的be；

3.主语+谓语动词+直接宾语

宾语有两种：间接宾语和直接宾语

这里的谓语动词只有一个承受着（宾语），所以作单及物动词

这种句型可称为主谓宾结构，它的谓语一般多是及物动词，例：

We never beat children.我们从来不打孩子。

My sister will fix everything.我姐姐会料理一切。

4.主语+双及物动词+直接宾语+间接宾语

这种句型可称为主谓宾宾结构，其谓语应是可有双宾语的及物动词，两个宾语一个是间接宾语，一个是直接宾语，其中指物或指事的就是直接宾语指人（或动物）的就是间接宾语。例：

He gave the book to his sister.他把这本书给了他的妹妹。

I'll write you a long letter.我将写给你一封长信。

5.主语+谓语动词+宾语+宾语补（足）语

所谓宾语补足语就是补充说明前面的宾语

这种句型可简称为主谓宾补结构，其补语是宾语补语，与宾语一起即构成复合宾语，例：

I found the book easy.我发现这本书不难。（形容词easy作补语）

I'll let him go.我将让他去。（不定式go用作补语）

注意：有时两个或更多的并列主语拥有一个共同的谓语，甚至并列有两个主语和两个谓语，这样的句子仍然是简单句，例：

China and other countries in the east Asia are developing rapidly.中国和东亚其它国家正在迅速地发展。（China and other countries并列主语）

Mr. Wang and I often work together and help each other.王先生和我常在一起工作互相帮助。

英语五种基本句型列式

基本句型一：S+V （主语+不及物动词）

基本句型二：S+V+P （主语+系动词+表语）

基本句型三：S+V+DO （主语+单及物动词+宾语）

基本句型四：S+V+IO+DO（主语+双及物动词+间接宾语+直接宾语）

基本句型五：S+V+DO+OC （主语+谓语动词+宾语+宾补）

互换解析

把一个简单句转换成一个复合句，一般是将一个短语变为一个从句。相反，复合句转换为简单句时要把一个从句变为一个短语。

1. The foreigners want to know how they can learn to do Chinese Kongfu well. → The foreigners want to know how to learn to do Chinese Kongfu well.

【解析】含宾语从句将来时情态动词+动词原形

2. She was so weak that she couldn't take care of her baby. → She was too weak to take care of her baby.

3. The ice on the lake was so thin that people couldn't skate on it. → The ice on the lake was not thick enough for people to skate on.

【解析】当so...that 从句是否定句，其主语与主句主语相同，可用句型too...to do sth.替换；当so...that从句是否定句，其主语与主句主语不相同，可用句型too...for sb. to do sth. 替换；当so...that从句是肯定句，其主语与主句主语相同时，可用...enough to do sth.替换；当so...that从句是肯定句，其主语与主句主语不相同时，可用...enough for sb. to do sth.替换。

4. Be brave, or you'll lose your chance. → If you aren't brave, you'll lose your chance.

5. Come on, or we'll miss the early bus. → If we don't hurry, we'll miss the early bus.

条件句

6. She seems to be worried now. → It seems that she is worried now.

【解析】 seem是关于内心活动的用语，含有心中所想象的意思在内。seem后接动词不定式，也常用It seems that结构。简单句变为复合句应特别注意它们之间的同义可换性。

II. 简单句与简单句的转换

简单句本身可以通过对句子成分反义词的转换、同义词属格

7. We spent twenty minutes cleaning the room yesterday. → It took us twenty minutes to clean the room yesterday.

8. The motorbike cost him 7,000 yuan last year. → He paid / spent 7,000 yuan for / on (buying) the motorbike last year.

【解析】 spend 语序 pay...for, 它们之间可转换使用。

9. Jane says science isn't so interesting as music to her. → Jane says science is less interesting than music to her.

10. She rides a bicycle more carefully than anyone else in her class. → She is the most careful bicycle rider in her class.

比较级+ than prefer

11. The exhibition of children's art began a few days ago. → The exhibition of children's art has been on for a few days.

12. My grandpa joined the Party thirty years ago. → My grandpa has been in the Party for thirty years.

13. Sam's grandfather died 10 years ago. → Sam's grandfather has been dead for 10 years.

【解析】含一般过去时与现在完成时句式之间的转换是很常用的。在现在完成时中，延续性动词与表示一段时间的状语连用，瞬间动词不能。但是，可以用别的方式来表达：①瞬间 be going to

14. You must throw the broken pottery away at once. → The broken pottery must be thrown away at once.

15. Every one should give back his or her library books on time. → Library books should be returned on time.

16. People make great use of computers widely in the world. → Computers are widely used in the world.

【解析】

①主动句变被动句的方法是：首先把主动句的宾语变为被动句的主语，再把谓语动词变为被动语态，最后加上介词by的宾语(有时可省略)；

②被动句变为主动句的方法是：先把被动句中by的宾语变为主动句的主语(如被动句中省略了介词by及其宾语，一般可以用 we, you, they等作主语)，再把谓语动词改为主动语态(即把be去掉)，最后把被动句的主语改为主动句的宾语，主动句的时态与被动句中be的时态一致；

③在let, make, hear, see, watch等后的动词不定式在主动语态中不带to，变为被动语态时，要加上to；

④双宾语动词结构变为被动语态，则应在间接宾语前加上相应的介词to或for。如：

Li Lei was given a bike by Mr Wang. → Mr Wang gave a bike to Li Lei.

III. 二合并一成简单句

有时为了使句子结构更加紧凑，语言更加生动，我们可以把两个或两个以上的简单句合并为简单句，这样，句子意思上的联系显得更密切。

17. Lucy can't either

18. This store sells men's shoes, and it also sells men's clothes. → This store sells not only men's shoes but also men's clothes.

【解析】

两个意义相关的简单句合并为一个简单句。常见的方式有三类：①用both...and, not only...but also, either...or, neither...nor, not...but等连接词合并。由not only...but also, either...or, neither...nor等连接的并列主语，通常遵循就近原则，即谓语需根据后面的名词(词组)的单复数而定；②用too...to, enough to等含不定式结构合并；③用分词短语合并。

IV. 二合并一成复合句

由两个简单句合并成一个复合句，多把一个分句转换成一个从句。如：

20. I won't go with my brother, he thinks. → He doesn't think I will go with my brother.

21. Where does he live? I don't know. →I don't know where he lives.

【解析】构成宾语从句应注意三点：

①宾语从句的引导词是否缺少或用错；

②宾语从句语序是否是陈述句的语序；

③宾语从句的时态是否与主句谓语动词的时态相呼应。

【测试】按要求改写下列句子。每空限填一词。

1. There is a strong wind today.

It's very ________ today.

2. What's the weather like in America?

________ ________ the weather in America?

3. We must keep the noise under 50 dbs (分贝) here.

The noise must ________ ________ under 50 dbs here.

4. Wu Dong joined the League three years ago.

6. Does the shop close at six every day? Do you know?

7. Lucy is the tallest girl in her class.

8. Tom is in the football team. Jim is in the football team, too.

9. John will go to bed after he finishes his homework.

John ________ ________ to bed ________ he finishes his homework.

10. He was so happy that he couldn't say a word when he was told the news.

He was ________ happy ________ say a word when he was told the news.

Key: 1. windy 2. How is / How about / What about 3. be kept 4. been; for 5. to say 6. if; closes 7. taller; any other 8. Both; and; are 9. won't go; until 10. too; to。

误区提醒

不同的动词使用的句型也不尽一样，因此在学习动词时，应掌握动词的类型。

以 get 为例：

He's getting angry. (S V P)

He got through the window. (S V M)

You'll get a surprise. (S V O)

He got his shoes and socks wet. (S V O C)

He got himself into trouble. (S V OM)

He got her a splendid present. (S V o O)

在句子中词类和词的位置也影响句子的句型和意思:

I found the book easily.我很容易地找到了这本书。（S V O M）

I found the book easy. 我觉得这本书很容易。（S V O C）
