IV. 語法知識講與練

1. 表示“請求”的情態動詞

1) can與could 都可以表示“請求”，但could語氣委婉，主要用于疑問句中，不可用于肯定句；答語應用can。例如：

Can I go now? Yes, you can.

Could I come tomorrow? Yes, you can.

2) may與其過去式might都可以表示“請求”；might 比may 的語氣更委婉一些。否定回答時常用can’t或mustn’t。例如：

May I use your pen? No, you can’t.

Might I take the book away? Yes, you can . (No, you mustn’t.)

3) will與would 也可以表示“請求”，其中would 比 will 委婉客氣。例如：

Would you pass me the book?

Will you please give me a hand?

2. 在英語句子中，除了名詞和代詞常用作句子的主語外，動詞不定式和動詞+ing形式也常用作主語。但須注意，動詞不定式用作主語往往表示具體的或一次性的動作；但動詞+ing用作主語通常表示一般或抽象的多次性行動。例如：

To go to college is my wish.

It is right to give up smoking.

It is no use crying all the time.

同時，動詞不定式和動詞+ing 形式也常用作某些動詞的賓語，但須特別注意這些動詞。例如：What would you like to do?

I remember doing the exercises .

此外，動詞不定式和動詞+ing 形式也常用作定語或狀語，用來修飾或說明某一名詞或動詞。例如：

I have a lot of homework to do .

Do you have a reading room?

I came here to see you .

The question is difficult to answer.

Being a student, I must study hard.

3. 介詞短語非常常用，除了在英語句子中用作表語外，也常被用作定語或狀語，用來修飾或說明某一名詞或動詞或整個句子。例如：

The key to the door is missing.

I stayed in Shanghai for two years.

After a week, he returned from abroad.
