B. Something about the predicate: Step3 Grammar learning 谓语

谓语用来说明主语的动作或状态，由动词或动词词组担任。有四个要点，举例归纳如下：

1. 动词可分为及物动词、不及物动词和连系动词。

1

1) 需要跟有宾语的动词叫及物动词，及物动词后可跟一个宾语、直接宾语和间接宾语或一个宾语带宾语补足语。例如：

直接宾语

Children seek independence.

The trial raised a number of questions.

He has always liked Mr. Philips.

He made the shortest speech I have ever heard.

A couple were having a drink at a table by the window

He took photographs of Vita in her summer house

直接宾语和间接宾语

They gave us a wonderfully warm welcome.

Mr Schell wrote a letter the other day to the New York Times.(… wrote the New York Times a letter.)

I took out the black box and handed it to her. (… handed her the box.)

l had lent my apartment to a friend for the weekend.

He left the note for he r on the table.

一个宾语带宾语补足语

Willis’s jokes made her uneasy.

Last year they made him captain of the Team

The people named the place “Turbo Kutu”.

I thought it right to go there without delay.

Have you found it difficult to speak?

2) 不需要跟有宾语的动词叫不及物动词。例如：

Her whole body ached.

Donald was lying on the bed.

Bob coughed all night.

All the leaves have fallen and winter is coming.

I will travel south this summer and won’t come back to my office until the end of August.

有几个不及物动词后可以跟有与之同形的名词，这叫同源宾语。例如：

They are living a peaceful life. (= They are living peacefully.)

He died a heroic death. (=He died heroically.)

The girl laughed a merry laugh. (=The girl laughed merrily.)

He sighed a deep sigh. (=He sighed deeply.)

许多动词往往既是不及物动词又是及物动词。例如：

Gus asked me whether I’d like to have dinner with him. I accepted. (vi.) I accepted the invitation. (vt.) He painted every day. (vi.) He paints vivid portraits of friends and acquaintances. (vt.) He ran as fast as he could. (vi.) She ran a hotel in the centre of the city. (vt.) Father never smoked or drank all his life. (vi.) He drank a good deal of coffee. (vt.) At last she thanked them and left. (vi.) A11 I know is that Michael and I never left the house. (vt.) 2

3 ) 连系动词虽具有词汇意义，但需要带有表语才能构成动词谓语。例如：

The station seems a very small one.

They haven’t remained loyal to the government.

Their hall was larger than his whole flat.

The task of inspecting it proved to be exciting and interesting.

It sounds unnatural to us.

My memories of a London childhood are happy ones.

His body was the color of bronze.

2. 动词词组或称短语动词，可以扩展或改变动词的意义，它们的构成是：

·

动词+副词

Mary went away for a few days.

·

动词+介词

The other day I came across a letter from Brunei written in the last year of his life.

·

动词+副词+介词

You may have come up against unexpected difficulties.

3.情态动词与动词连用构成的谓语。例如：

I must leave very soon.

The rich ought to pay tuition fees for their children.

You may have heard of him. You should not have done so. 4.谓语在句子中说明主语的动作、具有的特征或所处的状态，一般放在主语之后。谓语主要有两类：简单谓语和复合谓语。

简单谓语有两种形式：单个动词和短语动词。常见的短语动词的构成有：动词+介词（如consist of）；动词+副词（如turn off）；动词+副词+介词（如

catch up with）；动词+名词+介词（如catch hold of））等。

复合谓语有两大类：一类由“系动词+表语”构成；另一类由“情态动词+动词原形”或“不定式+另外的词”构成。下面我们通过近年来的高考题共同复习一下谓语的常考点。

一、简单谓语

1. 单个动词作谓语

【考例1】

The reports went missing in 2012 and nobody _____ them since.

A. sees

B. saw C. has seen

D. had seen 【考例2】

If nothing _____, the oceans will turn into fish deserts.

A. does

B. had been done C. will do

D. is done 【考点透视】

简单谓语有人称和数的变化，有各种时

态、语态和语气，故高考题中对简单谓语的考查主要体现为对各种时态、语态和语气的考查。考例1 中，根据句末的since 可知，此处要用现在完成时。

考例2 中，nothing 与do 之间是被动关系，且由will turn into 可知，do 表示将来发生的动作。因为条件状语从句中要用一般现在时表将来，故用一般现在时的被动语态。考3

例3 中，由“现在不在办公室”可知，答话者会晚些时候再打电话过来，故call 表示将来发生的动作，故用一般将来时。

2. 短语动词作谓语

【考例1】

Don't worry. I'm sure your missing glasses

will _____ sooner or later.

A. stand out

B. break up

C. get out

D. turn up

【考例2】

Caroline doesn't have a gift for music,

but she _____ it with hard work.

A. goes back on

B. takes away from C. makes up for

D. catches up with 【考点透视】

高考对短语动词作谓语的考查主要体现在词义辨析方面。考例1中, 由Don't worry 和I'm sure 可知, 眼镜迟早会出现（turn up）。考例2中, 由doesn't have a gift for music 及并列连词but 可知, 她是在用努力来弥补（makes up for）。

复合谓语

1.“系动词+表语”构成的复合谓语

【考例1】

Generally,

students' inner motivation with high expectations from others _____ essential to their development.

A. is

B. are

C. was

D. were 【考例2】

Mum,

I was wondering if you could lend

me a few dollars until I _____ on Friday.

A. get paid

B. got paid

C. have paid

D. had been pai 【考点透视】

系动词有一定的词义, 但不能单独作谓语, 要与作表语的名词、形容词、介词短语、过去分词等连用。常见的系动词有be, look, appear, keep, taste, feel, stay, become, get, remain, go, turn, grow等。考例1中, 句子的主语是students' inner motivation, 故系动词用单数形式, 又因为描述的是通常的情况, 故用一般现在时。考例2中, 从句中用一般现在时表示将来, 且I与pay 之间是被动关系, 故选get paid。

3. “be +形容词+不定式”构成的复合谓语

【考例1】

What are you doing out of bed,

Tom? You're _____ to be asleep.

A. supposed

B. known

C. thought

D. considered “情态动词+实义动词”构成的复合谓语

【考例1】
