基本句型的扩展(Ⅰ)
前面所讲英语的六种基本句型只是英语句子的最基本框架,要表达千差万别、丰富多彩的思想内容,仅仅依靠这样几个简单的句子框架显然是不够的。
如果我们以这些基本句型为基础,对句子加以扩展,就可以增大信息量, 使句子表达手段得更加丰富,从而满足我们对各种复杂内容表达的需要。
英语句型扩展的手段主要有三种:(1)增加并列成分;(2)增加修饰成分;(3)使用各类从句。
增加并列成分
英语句子中的任何一个成分都可以增加一个或多个并列成分,从而使句子变得长而复杂。
例如:
John visited a farm.
这是一个典型的SVO(主谓宾) 句型,通过增加并列成分可扩展为:
John, Mike and their classmates went to the countryside and visited a farm and a nursing home.
句中Mike and their classmates 是John的并列主语,went to the countryside 是visited 的并列谓语,a nursing home是a farm的并列宾语。
并列的成分也可以是句子,构成并列句。
即:简单句+并列连词+简单句
如:I help her and she helps me . 我帮助她,她帮助我。
[简单句(主+谓+宾)+并列连词and+简单句(主+谓+宾)]
I bought her a birthday present but she doesn’t like it. 我给她买了份生日礼物但她不喜欢。
[简单句(主+谓+宾+宾补)+并列连词but+简单句(主+谓+宾)]
常用并列连词有and, or, so, but, not only …but also, both…and, either…or, neither…nor, rather than, as well as等。
