一、什么是非谓语动词:一个句子里只能有一个谓语
英语句子的铁律是:一个简单句只能有一个谓语动词。当我们要在一个句子里表达两个动作时,第二个动作必须"退位",变成不被时间、人称限制的形式——这就是非谓语动词(non-finite verbs)。
对比下面两句:
- I want to go home.(want 是谓语,to go 是宾语)
- He went home and watched TV.(went 和 watched 由 and 连接,是两个并列谓语)
非谓语动词有三种形式:
| 形式 | 构成 | 表达的含义 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 不定式 | to + 动词原形 | 目的、将来、一次性 | I came to see you. |
| 动名词 | 动词-ing | 名词性质,指"这件事" | Swimming is good for you. |
| 分词 | 现在分词 -ing / 过去分词 -ed | 形容词性质,定语或状语 | the broken window;Hearing the news, he cried. |
判断用哪一种,问自己两个问题:这个动作在整个句子里充当什么成分?它和逻辑主语是主动还是被动关系?
二、不定式:六个常见用法
- 作宾语:want / hope / decide / plan / refuse / agree / learn + to do
- She decided to study abroad.
- 作目的状语:常见于句首或句尾
- He got up early to catch the first bus.
- 作宾补:ask / tell / want / invite / allow sb. to do
- The teacher asked us to hand in the homework.
- 作定语(常表将来):something to eat,a lot of work to do
- 作主语(较正式):To master a language takes years.
- 疑问词 + 不定式:I don't know what to do.
高频考点:省略 to 的动词
感官动词 + 宾语 + do(看到/听到全过程)或 + doing(看到/听到正在进行):
- I saw him cross the street.(看见他过了马路,全过程)
- I saw him crossing the street.(看见他正在过马路)
使役动词 make / let / have + 宾语 + do:
- My mother made me clean my room.
注意:这两个结构变被动语态时,to 要还原。 - He was made to clean the room.(主动省略的 to,被动必须加回)
三、动名词:什么时候用 -ing 而不用 to do
只能接动名词的动词(必背)
enjoy, finish, mind, practice, suggest, avoid, keep, miss, consider, imagine, admit, deny, look forward to
- I enjoy listening to music.
- Would you mind opening the window?
- He kept asking questions.
只能接不定式的动词(必背)
want, hope, wish, decide, plan, refuse, agree, promise, manage, afford, fail
两者都可但意思不同(中考最爱考)
| 动词 | + doing | + to do |
|---|---|---|
| remember | 记得做过(已做) | 记得去做(未做) |
| forget | 忘了做过(做了但没印象) | 忘了去做(没做) |
| stop | 停止做某事 | 停下来去做另一件事 |
| try | 试着做(试试看效果) | 努力去做(尽力) |
| go on | 继续同一件事 | 接着做另一件事 |
| regret | 后悔做过 | 遗憾要告知 |
例句辨析: - I remember locking the door.(我记得锁了门) - Please remember to lock the door.(请记得去锁门) - He stopped talking when the teacher came in.(停止说话) - He stopped to talk with me.(停下来跟我说话)
-ing 作主语时的主谓一致
动名词作主语,谓语用单数:
- Reading English novels helps improve your vocabulary.
四、分词:定语与状语的两把钥匙
现在分词 vs 过去分词:主动与被动
规则一句话:-ing 表示主动、进行;-ed 表示被动、完成。
- the exciting news(令人激动的消息,主动使别人激动)
- the excited students(感到激动的学生,被动接受)
常见成对形容词:interesting/interested, boring/bored, surprising/surprised, tiring/tired, disappointing/disappointed, frightening/frightened
分词作定语
- 单个分词放名词前:a sleeping baby, a used car
- 分词短语放名词后(后置定语):the boy standing under the tree
分词作状语:逻辑主语必须一致
这是初三到高中的分水岭。分词作状语时,分词的逻辑主语必须和主句主语一致。
✅ Hearing the good news, she jumped with joy.(听到好消息的是 she) ❌ Hearing the good news, her eyes filled with tears.(听到的是 her eyes?逻辑不通)
改法:Hearing the good news, she couldn't hold back her tears.
中考常考句型
- seen from the top of the hill(从山顶看,表被动)
- Compared with last year, prices have risen.(与去年相比)
- Given more time, we could do it better.(如果给更多时间)
五、例题精讲
例1 单项选择
I'm looking forward to ______ from you soon. A. hear B. hearing C. heard D. be heard
解析:look forward to 中的 to 是介词,后接名词或动名词,所以选 B。这是中考最高频的陷阱之一——看到 to 就想到不定式。类似的 "介词 to" 还有:be used to(习惯于)、devote oneself to、pay attention to、prefer doing to doing。
例2 用所给词的适当形式填空
- Would you mind ______ (turn) down the music?
- He was made ______ (apologize) to his classmate.
- ______ (walk) along the river, I met an old friend.
- The book ______ (write) by Lu Xun is popular.
答案与解析: 1. turning — mind 后接动名词。 2. to apologize — make 的被动语态中,省略的 to 必须还原。 3. Walking — 现在分词作时间状语,逻辑主语是 I,主动关系。 4. written — 过去分词作后置定语,书是"被写"的。
例3 句型转换
He didn't know how he could solve the problem. → He didn't know __ _ ___ the problem.
答案:how to solve。疑问词 + 不定式可以把宾语从句简化,中考句型转换的高频考点。
例4 改错
❌ I stopped to smoke last year and I feel much healthier now. 解析:stop to do 是"停下来去做",语义变成"停下来抽烟",与"更健康"矛盾。应改为 stopped smoking(戒烟)。
六、易错清单
| 易错点 | 错误 | 正确 |
|---|---|---|
| 介词 to | look forward to hear | look forward to hearing |
| 被动还原 to | He was made clean the room. | He was made to clean the room. |
| 动名词作主语 | Reading books help us. | Reading books helps us. |
| 分词逻辑主语 | Walking in the street, a car hit me. | Walking in the street, I was hit by a car. |
| -ing/-ed 混用 | I am boring in the class. | I am bored in the class. |
| 不定式作目的 | He studies hard for passing the exam. | He studies hard to pass the exam. |
