语法考点
形容词
一、定义
形容词修饰名词,说明事物或人的性质或特征,在句中可作定语、表语、状语等成分。 This is a difficult problem to solve.(作定语) The weather here is very pleasant.(作表语) Maggie is very polite.(作表语)
二、形容词的分类及用法
1. 形容词分成性质形容词和叙述形容词两类,其位置不一定都放在名词前面。
1) 直接说明事物的性质或特征的形容词是性质形容词,它有级的变化,可以用程度副词修饰,在句中可作定语、表语和补语。例如:hot 热的。
2) 叙述形容词只能作表语,所以又称为表语形容词。这类形容词没有级的变化,也不可用程度副词修饰。大多数以a开头的形容词都属于这一类。例如:afraid 害怕的。 (错)He is an ill man.
(对)The man is ill.
(错)She is an afraid girl. (对)The girl is afraid.
这类词还有:well,unwell,ill,faint,afraid,alike,alive,alone,asleep,awake 等。
3)形容词在修饰someone, somebody, something, anyone, anybody, anything, nobody, nothing等不定代词时,需要置于其后。
如:something nice
I have something important to tell you all.
2. 以-ly结尾的形容词
1) 大部分形容词加-ly可构成副词。但 friendly,deadly,lovely,lonely,likely,lively,ugly,brotherly,仍为形容词。
改错:(错) She sang lovely.
(错) He spoke to me very friendly. (对) Her singing was lovely.
(对) He spoke to me in a very friendly way.
2)有些以-ly 结尾既为形容词,也为副词。 daily,weekly,monthly,yearly,early The Times is a daily paper. The Times is published daily.
3.用形容词表示类别和整体
1) 某些形容词加上定冠词可以泛指一类人,与谓语动词的复数连接。如:the dead,the living,the rich,the poor,the blind,the hungry
The poor are losing hope.
2) 有关国家和民族的形容词加上定冠词指这个民族的整体,与动词的复数连用。 the British,the English,the French,the Chinese. The English have wonderful sense of humor.
4.多个形容词修饰名词的顺序
多个形容词修饰名词时,其顺序为:
限定词(包括冠词、人称代词、指示代词等)+大小+形状+性质或状态+颜色+年龄或新旧+材料或种类+来源+名词
a small round table a tall gray building a dirty old brown shirt
a famous German medical school an expensive Japanese sports car
There are a few big round black new wooden French tables in the room.

2、副词的用法: 1、副词的位置:
修饰形容词、副词时,位于被修饰词的前面。 如:You are quite right. 你非常正确。
◆enough作副词时,总是置于被修饰的形容词或副词之后。 如:The book is easy enough for little kids.
注意:
a. 大多数方式副词位于句尾,但宾语过长,副词可以提前,以使句子平衡。 We could see very clearly a strange light ahead of us. b. 方式副词well,badly糟、坏,hard等只放在句尾。 He speaks English well.
c. 副词very 可以修饰形容词,但不能修饰动词。 改错:(错) I very like English. (对) I like English very much.

Rain Forests
Millions of years ago, there were lots of trees on the earth, because summer lasted all year round. A forest covered the earth like a green carpet.
What was that forest like? It is not difficult to find out, because parts of that ancient forest still stand. It is known as the rain forest. Here, even in fine weather water drips through the leaves.
The largest of today’s rain forests is in South America. It covers about a million square miles. All the trees are up to 60 feet high. But it is not easy for some to grow taller, because very little sunlight reaches them.
The grown-up trees are about 60 to 120 feet high. Some are even taller. The tallest trees can be 200 or more
feet high. In this forest of tall trees, not only plant life is rich but also animal life. At different heights live different animals. By the many noises they make you know they are there. 阅读上面的短文,判断正(T)误(F)。 ( ) 1. It was very hot millions of years ago.
( ) 2. Millions of years ago the earth was covered by a forest of trees. ( ) 3. The rain forests today are parts of the ancient forest.
( ) 4. We can see the rain forests only in South America because it is hot there.
( ) 5. In a rain forest, young trees can never grow taller because they can’t get enough sunlight. ( ) 6. There are different animals living at the highest part of the rain forest.

Animals are people’s friends. But many wild animals are facing the danger of dying out, because the environment that they are living in has changed greatly. For example, their living area has become narrower and narrower because of the development of cities and pollution. They have no room to live in except the zoo. And many of the wild animals now can’t find enough food to eat. At the same time, man is killing off animals just for getting their fur, skin, teeth and meat.
People should realize how serious the situation is and something should be done to protect the animals. We are supposed to set up some nature reserves(自然保护区), so that animals can live freely. Besides, people should not be allowed to kill the endangered animals or eat their meat. We should do something to make our world cleaner. Fresh air, clean water, grass are all important for animals. The death of the endangered animals will bring a disaster to human beings. 根据短文内容填写表格。
Many wild animals are facing the 1 of dying out.

In a few years, most people will know that a healthy, happy, loving family is a joy and it is a necessary part for building a strong society. But there are still some people who don’t believe family life can be an enjoyable experience.
Some people already accepted the idea of the “me generation” so they fail to understand that there is a time in life when they have to give up their time to something more valuable.
At a time when adults need to think about the needs of their family, they will be doing other important things. Some people will spend too much time working for a more powerful car or a bigger house so that they can proudly say that they have them. Some will be doing dangerous things so that they may tell their stories to their friends, and others will recite things like “I must become the best I can be” or “I don’t want to be at the bottom.” The needs of their family will be forgotten and they never seem to have time for the family.
Many people have not experienced a strong helpful perfect family life, so they have never discovered its worth. Many people have always experienced family life as a fight, so they can’t find time and energy for work. But it is really very important that we all expect good family relations. We need to realize and value the importance of what can be achieved by loving each other in the family. It is also important for our society to encourage family members to create happiness.
