动词填空
“动词填空”题主要测试考生掌握和运用动词的能力。动词是英语句子的核心,当然也是各类考试的重点之一。竞赛初一年级主要考查一般现在时be动词的用法、实义动词(重点是第三人称单数以外的动词)及个别情态动词、助动词的用法。
“动词填空”主要出题方式是“根据句意,用所给动词填空(或根据对话或短文内容,填写所缺动词)”。初一组因没有复杂的时态,所以动词形式的确定主要依据句子主语的人称和数。
1.be动词:
(1)一般情况:根据主语的人称和数便可确定。如:
This is a desk.These are oranges.
I am a student.You are a teacher.
We are good friends.She is in Team Five.
(2)并列主语,不管是名词还是代词,都要用are。如:
Lucy and Lily are sisters.
Tom and I are in the same grade.
He and she are all thirteen.
(3)There be结构主语在There be之后,be动词的形式取决于 be后主语的数,但如果是并列主语时,be的形式则取决于离它最近的主语。如:
There is a ball under the table.
There are some pictures on the wall.
There is a table and two chairs in the room.
There are two chairs and a table in the room.
(注意:选择疑问句也需依主语而确定be动词形式。如:Is she eleven or twelve?)
2.含有情态动词和助动词的句子中其后的实义动词无变化。如:
I can't find my sweater.
Could you help me,please?
You must look after your things.
3.实义动词:主语不是第三人称单数时,动词无变化;主语是第三人称单数时,动词词尾要加-s或-es,具体情况与名词单数变复数相同。如:
You look like Wang Fang.
The woman looks like our teacher.
