1、形容词和副词I. 形容词、副词的作用与位置1.形容词是用来修饰名词的,常被放在名词前作定语,或放在系动词后面作表语。而副词则用来修饰形容词、动词,其他副词或者句子,一般位于形容词之前,动词之后或句子之首。以下属几种情况须牢记:几个并列的形容词作定语,其语序通常为:限定语 (The、A)+ 描绘性形容词 + size(大小 )+ shape(形状 )+ age(年龄、时间 )+ color( 颜色 )+origin( 国籍、来源 )+material( 材料 )+ purpose(目的 )+名词 ;a heavy black Chinese steel umbrella,the man s fi
2、rst tow interesting little red French oil paitings熟记口诀就可以顺利解题:限定描绘大长高,形状年龄和新老,颜色国籍跟材料,作用类别往后靠。形容词短语作定语,定语后置;a language difficult to master,a leaning tower about 180 feet highThis is a student worth of praise.They will turn their motherland into a country, beautiful and modern.表语形容词 (afraid 、 alike 、
3、 alone、asleep、 awake、 alive 等 )作定语,定语后置 ; a man alive:活着的人有些表身体健康状况的形容词如定语意为 “bad”;形容词作定语修饰由不定代词等时,通常后置;well 、 faint 、 ill 只作表语。 sick 既可作表语又可作定语,ill 如作one、no、any、some 和 every 构成的复合词如anything 、somethingI have something important to tell you. enough、 nearby 修饰名词前置或后置,程度副词一般位于形容词、副词前面,词、副词时,必须后置; else
4、常用作疑问代词和不定代词的后置定语;几个副词并列作状语时,其顺序较灵活,但一般是:方式地点 时间 ;enough修饰形容频度副词如 often 、 always、 usually 等在 be 动词后,行为动词前 ; 副词作定语,定语后置 ;The person there is waiting for you.复合形容词常用作定语,个别也可以作表语。He was a 12-year-old boy.He is good-natured.II. 连系动词与形容词象 get, grow,become,feel,appear,prove ,look,keep,smell,taste,sound,go
5、,turn,remain 等这些动词既可以用作为实义动词又可以用作连系动词,因而要根据上下文语境判断究竟是什么性质的动动词才能正确解题。请看下面这道选择题: We dont care if a hunting dog smells_,but we really dont want him to smell_.A. well; wellB. bad; badlyC. well; badlyD. badly; bad第一个 “smell是”“闻起来 ”的意思,是连系动词,用形容词。第二个 “smell是”实义动词,用副词来修饰 ; well B 们不在乎猎狗闻起来难闻,但是我们确实不希望它的嗅觉力
