英语语法——动词
动词1）表示动作中状态的词叫做动词。
2）根据其在句中的功能，动词可分为四类，分别是：实义动词（Notional Verb）、系动词（Link Verb）、助动词（Auxiliary Verb）、情态动词（Modal Verb）。
说明：有些情况下，有些动词是兼类词，例如：We are having a meeting.我们正在开会。
（having是实义动词。
）He has gone to New York.他已去纽约。
（has是助动词。
）3）动词根据其后是否带有宾语，可分为两类，分别是：及物动词（Transitive Verb）、不及物动词（Intransitive Verb），缩写形式分别为vt. 和vi.。
说明：同一动词有时可用作及物动词，有时可用作不及物动词。
例如：She can dance and sing.她能唱歌又能跳舞。
（sing在此用作不及物动词。
）She can sing many English songs.她能唱好多首英文歌曲。
（sing用作及物动词。
）4）根据是否受主语的人称和数的限制，可分两类，分别是：限定动词（Finite Verb）、非限定动词（Non-finite Verb）例如：She sings very well.她唱得很好。
（sing受主语she的限制，故用第三人称单数形式sings。
）She wants to learn English well.她想学好英语。
（to learn不受主语she的限制，没有词形变化，是非限定动词。
说明：英语中共有三种非限定动词，分别是：动词不定式（Infinitive）、动名词（Gerund）、分词（Participle）。
5)根据动词的组成形式，可分为三类，分别是：单字词（One-Word Verb）、短语动词（Phrasal Verb）、动词短语（Verbal Phrase）例如：The English language contains many phrasal verbs and verbal phrases.英语里有许多短语动词和动词短语。

英语动词的时态讲解
1．动词时态（tense ）时态---就是一种表示时间和状态的主动词形式。
1.1 现在进行时（present continuous/present progressive ）1.1.1 时间：现在（present ）--:动作发生的时间是现在而非过去，一般也就是说话时的时间。
1.1.2 状态：正在进行（continuous/progressive ）。
指该动作在过去某个时间点开始，直到现在（说话时）仍然继续，在一定的时间范围内， 还将继续下去。
1．只有具有持续性概念的动作动词（action verb ）, 才可能有进行时态， 而表示状态或瞬间动作的动词， 不能使用进行时态。
它们是不可持续的，往往具有状态动词的特征， 而不强调动作， 此类词一般常见的如下： 表感情意识状态：like/dislike/love/hate/prefer/want/need/know/realize/suppose/mean/understand/believe/remember感官意识状态：see/ hear/ smell/ taste表所属关系: 有…,包含：belong / contain/consist/depend/seem/have当think 表示“认为”的意思时，同样也不用进行时态2. 即使是动作动词，同样也有动作持续时间长短的问题。
有的动作持续时间短，所以动作一般就发生在说话时由于这种动作只是从宏观上看具有持续性，但其间一定是有间断的，说话时，该动作不一定发生，只是说话的时间点包含在该动作的持续时间内。
1.1.3 构造： 助动词be ， 主动词verb+ ing ，参见“词类概述2.3.4”.陈述句: subject + be + verb-ing否定句：subject + be+ not+ verb-ing一般疑问句：be + subject + verb-ing :?复杂（特殊）疑问句：question word+ subject + verb-ing :1.1.4 用途：1．用于表述正在发生的短动作，即说话时正在发生。

小学英语时态和语法总结
看句子里是否有be动词， am , is, are, 如果有be动词，那么直接在be动词后加not就可以,过去式也适用。 看句子里是否有情态动词：can , may , must, 如果有，那么直接在情态动词后加not. 注意，如果情态动词是must ,则改为need以后再加not. 三，如果既没有be动词，也没有情态动词，那么在主语后加do not, 或does not. 主语是单数第三人称加does not,原来句子里的动词单数第三形式改为原形。如果是过去式，那么助动词也要跟着用相应的过去式—did not,句子里以前的动词过去式改为原形。 四，祈使句改为否定句，直接在句首加don’t
选择
单击此处可添加副标题
阅读理解中经常出现按短文内容回答 特殊疑问句的回答是完整的陈述句 看句子问的是什么内容 把句子改为陈述句的语序 找到合适的内容代替句子开头的疑问词，并放在合适的位置 如：when do you get up every morning? （6：30） 确认提问的是时间 改为陈述句 I get up every morning. 时间at 6:30放在句子的合适位置。 I get up at 6:30 every morning.
