否定句
否定句的结构是:与陈述句相同,但谓语要用否定形式。
肯定句变否定句时应注意:
句子中谓语是系动词、情态动词或含有助动词,将系动词或助动词变成否定形式。如:
He's a headmaster.→He isn't a headmaster.
John will visit the museum.→John won't visit the museum.
谓语是实义动词(包括do),则须加助动词do(does),did的否定形式。如:
Henry works in a hospital.→Henry doesn't work in a hospital.
The old man does morning exercises behind the building.→The old man doesn't do morning exercises behind the building.
句中有否定词never,little,hardly,nobody,nothing,few,none,neither...nor等词时,该句就是否定句,再不能将该句变为否定句了。
在一般情况下,肯定句在变否定句后,some,something,already分别要变为any,anything,yet。如:
He bought some fruit in the shop.→He didn't buy any fruit in the the shop.
We've already planted the trees.→We haven't planted the trees yet.
但一些含some的动词短语作谓语时,some不能变any。如:
The girl did some washing last Sunday.→The girl didn't do some washing last Sunday.
句子中有表示全部概念的词或短语,如all,both,always,everybody,everything等词时,要把all改为none of;both改为neither of;always改为never;everybody改为nobody;everything改为nothing。如果改变后的代词在句子当中作主语,要注意谓语的数。如:
They're both at work.→Neither of them is at work.
She always helps me.→She never helps me.
Everybody left.→Nobody left.
在主句谓语动词是think,feel,believe(相信)的复合句中,如果要否定从句,英语句子则要否定主句。如:
I think he'll come today.→I don't think he'll come today.
He felt their team would win.→He didn't feel their team would win.
练习:
在每个空白处填写一个适当的词,使该句变成否定句。
1.We'll visit a few places of interest this weekend.
We visit a few places of interest this weekend.
2.The farmers pick apples in autumn.
The farmers apples in autumn.
3.Lily threw a stone through the window.
Lily a stone through the window.
4.We can see something in the dark room.
We in the dark room.
5.We all like playing pingpong.
playing pingpong.
答案与分析:
1.该句谓语是will visit,因此在变否定句时,将will变成won't。
2.该句谓语是pick,故须在pick前加don't,即填写don't pick。
3.该句谓语是threw,所以应加didn't,并将threw变成原形。应填写didn't throw。
4.该句谓语是can see,而且句中有something。因此,应将can变成can't see;something变成anything。
5.该句谓语是like,而且句中有all。因此,应填None of us likes。
