學(xué)習(xí)連系動(dòng)詞應(yīng)注意的幾個(gè)易錯(cuò)點(diǎn)

1. 連系動(dòng)詞后通常可接形容詞作表語(yǔ)，一般不接副詞。如：

誤：I felt very nervously when I went into his office. 當(dāng)我走進(jìn)他的辦公室時(shí),我感到很緊張。

正：I felt very nervous when I went into his office.

誤：He was nicely to us. 他對(duì)我們很友好。

但是，少數(shù)表示地點(diǎn)或方位的副詞如in, on, off, out, away, behind, up, down, over, through, around, round, below, inside, outside以及here, there, upstairs, downstairs等常可跟在連系動(dòng)詞后作表語(yǔ)。如：

When we arrived the film was over. 當(dāng)我們到達(dá)時(shí)，電影結(jié)束了。

2. 連系動(dòng)詞后可接不定式作表語(yǔ)。

(1) 連系動(dòng)詞be后可接不定式作表語(yǔ)。如：

If a man is to succeed, he must work as hard as he can. 一個(gè)人要想成功，必須盡可能地努力工作。

(2) seem, appear, prove, continue, get, grow, come, turn out等連系動(dòng)詞后也可接不定式(尤其是to be)作表語(yǔ)，如：

【注】若不定式為to be時(shí)，通常可以省略。如：

The drug proved (to be) highly effective. 這種藥證明是非常有效的。

(3) 在表示知覺的連系動(dòng)詞 sound, smell, feel, taste, become等后通常不能接不定式。如：

正：They were all hungry and the food smelt good. 他們都餓了，因而感到飯菜噴香。

誤：This tea tastes to be sweet.

正：This tea tastes sweet. 這茶的味道很香。

(4) 少數(shù)連系動(dòng)詞后面接的從句可用不定式改寫為簡(jiǎn)單句。如：
