一般现在时 & 单三

小技巧

表达现在的事实: 先主干,再地点,时间放两边。

    • 有:There is / There are

    • There is an elephant under the bed.

    • We never eat meals at the table on Sundays.

    • On Sundays,we never eat meals at the table.

  • 老师们放学后总是在课桌上跑步。

如何表达对否定的事实

  • It isn't a toilet.它不是个马桶。(am not/ isn't/ aren't)

  • I don't like eggs.

  • People don't sing at home in the morning.

如何对事实提问

    • 名词单复数 + 动词三单,两者均通过是否单三形式双保险区分到底是名词复数还是名词单数

小技巧

当主语是第三人称单数的时候,动词也要用第三人称单数。

英语中的人称

单数

复数

第一人称

I

we

第二人称

you

you

第三人称

he, she, it, an apple,...

they, apples, trees,...

动词第三人称单数变化规则

动词三单:

  1. 一般情况下直接加s,如like-likes

  2. 以s,x,sh,ch,o结尾,加es.如:do-does, wash-washes

  3. 以"辅音字母+y"结尾,变y为i加es,如:fly-flies

  4. 不规则变化:have-has

名词复数:

  1. 一般情况下直接加s,如like-likes

  2. 以s,x,sh,ch,o结尾,加es.如:do-does, wash-washes

  3. 以"辅音字母+y"结尾,变y为i加es,如:fly-flies

  4. 以"f/fe"结尾,变f/fe为v加es

  5. 不规则变化

可以看到两者规则基本相同,仅名词复数多了一条变化规则 以"f/fe"结尾,变f/fe为v加es,更加确定名词复数的s,就是动词三单的s,他们要表达的是一个目的。

  • The dogs like potatoes.

  • The dog likes potatoes.

练习

  • The elephant sometimes eats grass.

  • The elephants sometimes eat grass.

  • The child eats ice creams in summer.

  • The children eat ice creams in summer.

  • He reads books at night.

  • He desn't read books at night.

  • Does He read books at night?

备注

虽然所有人称分为单三和三复,毕竟这种分发忽略了第一二人称,因为太少,没必要单列一类,所以将一二人称合并到三复一类中,所以最后就分为两大类:单三和非单三。

综合练习

  • Tom goes to school on foot.(go)

  • They don't know the secret.

  • Does the teacher always jump in class?
