英语形容词副词及练习

英语形容词和副词及练习一、概述形容词和副词都是起修饰作用的词类，两者的区别之一就在于它们所修饰的对象不同。形容词主要用来说明或修饰名词或代词，描述名词或代词所代表人或事物的性质，增加或补充其含意，从而限制或缩小其适用范围。副词的主要功能是修饰动词，形容词或其它副词有时也可以修饰全句。Boris has brains. In fact,I doubt whether anyone in the class has a higher IQ. 保利斯有头脑。事实上，我怀疑班上是否有人比他智商高。（形容词修饰名词）Allen had to call a taxi because the box was much too heavy to carry all the way home. 因为箱子太重不能一路扛回家，艾伦不得不叫了一辆出租车。（副词修饰形容词 ）Its always difficult being in a foreign country, especially if you dont speak the language. 在外国总是感到困难，尤其当你不懂该国语言的时候。（副词修饰全句 ）二、形容词1、形容词的定义形容词用来修饰和形容名词，表示名词的属性，补充说明它的意思。a big house 一幢大房子 a new bicycle一辆新自行车the beautiful garden那座漂亮的花园 modern science现代科学Students brave enough to take this adventure course will certainly learn a lot of useful skills. 那些勇于参加这次历险课程的同学们肯定将会学到很多有用的技能。We had a very good journey home. 我们回家的旅途很顺利。2、形容词的语法功能形容词修饰名词或不定代词，表示人或事物的性质、特征或状态，在句子中主要用作定语、表语、补足语、状语等。（1）作定语前置定语a.形容词作定语一般需放在它所修饰的名词之前并尽量靠近被修饰的词。在这种位置上的定语叫前置定语。语序一般为“冠词（或其他限定词）+形容词+名词”。He is an honest boy.他是个诚实的孩子。Theyve just bought a new powerful and very expensive car.他们刚买了一辆马力足、价钱高的新车。This is an interesting story-book.这是一本有趣的故事书。China is a great socialist country.中国是一个伟大的社会主义国家。b.若有多个形容修饰名词，它们的位置要由它们与被修饰词的密切程度来决定。关系最密切的形容词靠近被修饰词，而关系较远的离被修饰词则相对较远。其排列顺序通常是：限定词描绘性形容词颜色国籍、地区用途、类别名词。the happy and healthy children幸福而健康的孩子们a young Korean student一位年轻的朝鲜学生the big new white house那幢又大又新的白房子an advanced and strong and prosperous China一个进步、富强、繁荣的中国The boy often wears a beautiful little red hat.那男孩经常戴着一顶漂亮的小红帽。I met some tall black-haired Japanese friends yesterday.昨天我遇到了几个高个子、黑头发的日本朋友。-How was your recent visit to Qingdao? 你们最近去青岛的旅行怎么样？-It was great. We visited some friends, and spent the last few sunny days at the seaside. 很好。我们拜访了朋友，在海边度过最后几天阳光明媚的日子。巧记形容词的排列顺序：“县官行令谢国材”帮你掌握英语里形容词的排列次序。“县”(限)代表限定词，包括：冠词、指示代词、形容词性物主代词、名词所有格、数词等。“官”（观）代表表示观点的描绘性形容词。“行”(形)代表表示大小、长短、高低及形状的形容词。“令”（龄）代表表示年龄、新、旧的形容词。“谢”（“色”的近似音）代表表示颜色的形容词等。“国”代表表示国籍、地区、出处的形容词(名词)等。“材”则代表形成中心名词的材料的形容词， stone,wooden，silk，plastic等。多个形容词同时修饰同一个名词时，就按上述顺序排列，然后加上中心名词。c.以er结尾的形容词， elder(eldest),inner, other, upper, lower, latter, outer, hinder, utter, lesser(也包括daily,weekly)只能作前置定语。His elder brother is sixteen.他大哥十六岁。She is his former teacher.她是他的前任老师。d. 以en结尾的形容词，如wooden, leaden, golden, silken, woolen, brazen,等形容词，作前置定语。This is a woolen house.这是一间小木屋。That is a silken shirt.那是一件丝织衬衫。后置定语 有些形容词作定语要放在被修饰词之后，在这种位置上的定语叫后置定语。形容词作后置定语通常有一定的原因。a.作不定代词的定语作不定代词someone, something, somebody; anyone, anything, anybody, everyone, everything everybody; nothing, no one nobody的定语时，定于后置。There is nothing new.没什么新鲜事。She must have met something dangerous.她一定遇上了危险的事。She hopes to marry someone rich. 她希望嫁给一个有钱人。Can you see anything unusual in the picture?你能看出图画中有什么异常之物吗?注意：如果上述词作名词表示其他含义时，形容词作定语需前置。Her husband is a real nothing.她丈夫是个微不足道的人。b.前缀以a-构成的形容词作定语时要求后置。 常见的有afraid, alive, alone, alike, ashamed, asleep, afloat, awake等。He is the only man alive in the village after the earthquake.他是那个村子里的唯一一个地震后生存者。The man awake at that time was Mr. Smith.那时醒着的人是史密斯先生。c. 形容词短语作定语时要后置这些形容词短语多是由 “形容词+介词短语/不定式短语”构成。It is a problem difficult to solve.这是一个难解决的问题。He is a boy good at sports.他是个擅长体育运动的孩子。We should provide an entrance suitable for wheelchairs on the ground floor.我们应该在底层备有轮椅能通过的入口。d.形容词成对使用时由and/or连接的并列形容词成对使用时后置。Everyone, young or old, will do it.不论老少，人人都将做这事。Many people, both young and old, are against this expensive way of life.许多人，包括年轻的和年老的，都反对这种大手大脚的生活方式。e. 同表示方位、时间和数量等习语、词组连用时后置。This is a river two hundred miles long.这是一条二百英里长的河流。It is a bridge eight metres wide.那是一座8米宽的桥梁。f.某些作形容词非限定性定语时后置。 The boy, silent, stood at the door.那个男孩一声不吭地站在门旁。 The woman, nervous, walked past me.那位妇女神情紧张地从我身旁走过。（2）作表语在连系动词后要用形容词作表语。常见的连系动词有:be(是)，look(看起来)，feel(摸起来)，smell(闻起来)，taste(尝起来)，sound(听起来)，get/become/grow (变得)，go/ come （变）， remain（保持）。而行为动词则要用副词修饰。Our English teacher is young and strong.我们英语老师又年轻又强壮。Im glad to meet you again.很高兴又见到你。The dishes taste delicious那几道菜味道美极了。His efforts proved useless.他的努力证明没用。只能用作表语的形容词大多数形容词可以用作定语或表语，但有些形容词只能用作表语。a.以“a-”开头的形容词asleep睡着的 afraid害怕的 awake醒着的 alone孤单的alive活着的 ashamed羞耻的 alike 相似的I am afraid I cant go with you.恐怕我不能跟你去。She is asleep now.她现在睡着了。b. content,ill,drunk,sure,liable,unable,well等词。 The film is worth seeing.电影值得看。 I am not feeling well now.我现在感觉不舒服。有些形容词是以-ly结尾的，我们容易把它们误认为是副词，如lovely(可爱的)，friendly(友好的)，orderly(有序的)，slightly(悦耳的)，motherly(母亲般的)，sisterly(姐妹般的)，brotherly(兄弟般的)。She looks lovely.她看上去很漂亮。They have been friendly with each other for many years.他们友好相处已有多年。（3）宾语的补足语形容词作宾语补足语即与宾语一起构成复合宾语，和宾语有逻辑上的主谓关系。We keep the lab clean and tidy.我们保持实验室干净、整洁。I thought him very intelligent.我认为他们很勤奋。She found the door open.她发现门是开着的。I find idioms and useful expressions hard to learn.我觉得习语和有用的词语很难学。（4）作状语 形容词作状语，表示意义上的增补，和句子主语有逻辑上的主谓关系。He spent seven days in the wind and snow, cold and hungry.他又冷又饿地在风雪中过了7天。For a moment she just stood there, unable to believe what had just happened.她在那儿呆呆地站了一会，简直不能相信刚才发生的事。（5）起名词作用，作主语某些形容词前加上定冠词the变成名词化的形容词，相当于名词，表示一类人，在句子中做主语、宾语等。The young should respect the old.年轻的应当尊敬年长的。The wounded have been sent to the hospital.伤员们已被送往医院。The blind are taken good care of here.盲人们在这儿受到很好的照料。（6）作感叹语 Very good!
