一、教學目標
通過本章學習,使學生了解謂語的概念、用法,從而減少學生在使用中的錯誤。
二、教學重點和難點
在謂語的結(jié)構(gòu)中,某些實義動詞兼作連系動詞的用法;時態(tài)、語態(tài)及語氣。
三、教學方法
Teacher
1.What is the predicate?
First analyse the following sentences.
A.Tom wrote a letter this morning.
B.She is an honest girl.
在B句中,我們把“she”稱為主語,把“is an honest girl”稱為謂語部分,只說“她”,不知她是誰,她怎樣了;而只說是個誠實的姑娘,又不知誰是個誠實的姑娘,這與A句是一樣的。
2.The predicate must contain a finite verb. And we call it the predicate verb.
3.Commonly a predicate must not have more than one finite verb, unless they are
co-ordinated ones. In the sentence, Mrs Green is the subject, went, bought and visited are co-ordinated predicates.
4.中國學生常見的錯誤之一是在一個句子中,用數(shù)個動詞,但又沒能按規(guī)則使它們成為并列關系。
A句改成:I came here and learned English.
B句改成:He will get up early and go to school with you.
5.Another mistake that Chinese students often make is that they write a sentence according to Chinese habit.
A.This year I eighteen years old.
B.The film very interesting.
6.系動詞在英語中分兩大類。一類是be動詞,后邊跟名詞、副詞、形容詞、介詞短語、現(xiàn)在分詞、過去分詞、動名詞及從句作表語。
A.Xiao Ming is a teacher.
B.John is out.
C.He is tall.
D.They are in the room.
E.The news is exciting.
F.He is tired.
G.My work is teaching English.
H.The fact is that you made some spelling mistakes this time.
另一類系動詞本身既是個行為動詞同時又是個系動詞。作為行為動詞時,他們與其他行為動詞一樣,若是個及物動詞后邊要有賓語,若是個不及物動詞,后邊往往跟狀語。這些既是行為動詞又是系動詞的詞有:get, go, grow, fall, turn, prove, remain, keep, stay, sound, taste, smell, look, appear等。
get
A.We got there at 6:00 A. M.(到達)
B.Can you get a couple of tickets for the concert? (找,得到)
go
A.I'm going to town.(進城)
B.He has gone abroad for further education.(去,走)
grow
A.We grow rice in South China.(種植)

B.The leaves fell to the ground.(飄落)

A.He turned to me for help.(轉(zhuǎn)向)
B.Turn to P.40, please.(翻到)
prove
A.I'll prove to you that the letter is poorly written.(證明)
remain
A.Because of the noise, the rich have left, but the poor will have to remain there.(留下)
keep
A.How long have you kept the picture? (保存)
B.He kept talking.(持續(xù),一直)
stay
A.I stayed at a hotel while in New York.(逗留)
sound
He sounded the alarm by ringing the bell.(發(fā)出警報)
taste
Let me taste the dish you cooked.(烹任)
smell

look

appear
The famous singer appeared on TV again.(出現(xiàn))
feel
A.I felt my heart beating hard.
B.Let me feel your forehead. You are running a high temperature.
7.His dream has come true.“他的夢想成真”,是個系表結(jié)構(gòu)的句子,但在使用中也常常只與true連用。因此不帶有普遍規(guī)律。
8.When we talk about the predicate, certainly we'll come to another topic, that is “Tense”.
Students
1.Each sentence is divided into two parts. The first part is called the subject. The second part is called the predicate.
In sentence A, if I only say“Tom”, you are sure to ask“What about Tom?”And if I say“wrote a letter yesterday, ”of course you will ask“Who wrote a letter?”
2.在一個句子中必須有主語和謂語,謂語由動詞構(gòu)成。
3.'91 高考中有這樣一道題:On Saturday afternoon, Mrs Green went to the market, bought some bananas and visited her cousin.
怎樣分析理解此句的主語與謂語?
4.We students often write English sentences like this:
A.I came here learn English.
B.He will get up early go to school with you.
Are these sentences right or wrong?
5.Sentence A and B are short of verb “be”.
A should be written like this:
This year I am eighteen years old.
B should be written like this:
The film is very interesting.
6.在英語中我們常說到系動詞,在使用中要注意些什么?
A句中teacher表示主語的身份。
B句中out表示主語的位置。
C句中tall表示主語的樣子。
D句中in the room表示主語的位置。
E句中exciting表示主語的特點。
F句中tired表示主語的狀況、樣子。
G句中teaching English 表示主語的內(nèi)容。
H句中that引導的從句表示主語的內(nèi)容。
