六、形容词、副词:
形容词:用来说明或修饰名词、代词的词称为形容词。
1.形容词的句法作用:作句子中名词的定语、句子的表语以及宾语补足语。
2.形容词在句子中的位置:
⑴作定语时放在名词的前面,且音节少的词放在音节多的词之前。如:a big yellow wooden wheel
⑵作表语时放在连系动词之后。如:The price sounds reasonable.
⑶作宾语补足语时放在宾语之后。如:We must try our best to keep our environment clean.
⑷后置的情况:
①修饰复合不定代词时放在代词之后。如:Something serious has happened to him.
②与表示长、宽、高、重、老、远离的词连用时形容词后置。如:Hes 1.8 metres tall.The moon is about 380,000 kilometres away from the earth.
3.有关形容词的用法辨析:
⑴ whole与all:记住两个词序:① the whole + 名词; ②all the + 名词。如:He was busy the whole morning. / He can remember all the words he learns.
⑵ tall与high, short与low:指人的个子时用tall与short;指其他事物时一般用high与low。如:Hes very tall/short. / Tall trees are standing on both sides of that avenue. / A few people live on high mountains.
⑶ real与true:real一般指东西的真假,译为真的而true则指事情或消息的可靠性,译为真实的。如:This is a real diamond and its very expensive. / --Is that true?Yes. I heard it with my own ears.
⑷ interested与interesting的区别:interesting指人或东西有趣的,作定语或表语,而interested则表示人对别的事物感兴趣的,只能作表语。如:The man is very interesting and all the children like him. / This book is interesting and you can really enjoy yourself. / I am interested in science.
