Lesson 32 : Past Perfect Tense
Past Perfect Tense
動詞的過去完成時態的形態是:had + 動詞的過去分詞
動詞的過去完成時態表示:
過去某一時間之前已經完成的動作或狀態,使用這種時態,多會涉及兩個動作或狀態。一個在前,一個在後。
敘述前面的動作或狀態,動詞要用過去完成時態;敘述後面的動作或狀態,動詞要用一般過去時態。
例如:
I had taken my supper when he arrived. ﹝當他到達時,我已吃完我的晚餐。﹞
※ 上述句子涉及兩個動作,一是「他到達」,二是「我吃晚餐」。
「我吃晚餐」在前,要用過去完成時態;「他到達」在後,要用一般過去時態。
※ "I had taken my supper" 是主句, "when he arrived" 是從句
﹝副詞從句﹞。
※ 圖示:
過去 現在 將來
_________________________│__________________________
│ │
past perfect simple past
Had you finished your work when I visited you yesterday?
When I reached the station, the train had already started.
He said that his father had returned to America.
After I had done my work, I played tennis.
※ 若用了 "After" 這個詞,可不用過去完成時態,因已有「之後」
的含意。即:
After I did my work, I played tennis.
在這種情況下,"After I did my work"是:
" Simple past Tense in form, but past perfect Tense in meaning."
﹝形式上是一般過去時態,但意義上是過去完成時態﹞
同樣,I had seen your father before I went.亦可寫成:
I saw your father before I went.
用英文表示「我看電視之前已完成功課」,可以有多種方式:
1. When I had finished my homework, I watched television.
2. I had finished my homework when I watched television.
3. I had finished my homework before I watched television.
4. I finished my homework before I watched television.
5. After I had finished my homework, I watched television.
6. After I finished my homework, I watched television.
7. I finished my homework and I watched television.
﹝時間順序法﹞
※ 「時間順序法」:按事件的先後次序連接起來。
如果涉及三件或以上的事件,就更需要用這種方法了。例如:
I reached the station, the bell rang and the train started.

Lesson 33 : Future Prefect Tense
Future Prefect Tense
動詞的將來完成時態的形態是:
will ( shall ) have + 動詞的過去分詞
動詞的將來完成時態表示:
將來某一時間之前已經完成的動作或狀態
使用這種時態,多會涉及兩個動作或狀態。一個在前,一個在後。
敘述前面的動作或狀態,動詞要用將來完成時態;敘述後面的動作
或狀態,動詞要用一般現在時態。

過去 現在 將來
_________________│____________________________________
│ │
future perfect simple present (simple future)
例如:
We will have completed the work before you come.
﹝在你來之前,我們將完成工作。﹞
※「你來」在將來發生,應用 "You will come" ( Simple Future ) ,
但習慣上卻用 "You come" ( Simple Present ) 來代替。
這種情況是:
"Simple present tense in form but Simple future in meaning"
﹝形式上是一般現在時態,但意義上是一般將來時態﹞
He will have studied English for five years by the end
of next month.
* "by the end of next month" 稱「時間短語」"Phrase of time",
使用了,可不用從句。
We will have played ball when you come.
或 when you come, we will have played ball.
When I have taken my supper, I will take a walk with you.
﹝當我吃完晚餐時,我將和你散步。﹞
※「我吃完晚餐」在將來完成,應用 Future Perfect Tense,
但可以用 Present Prefect Tense 代替。
這種情況是:
" Present perfect tense in form but future perfect tense in meaning."
﹝形式上是現在完成時態,但意義上是將來完成時態﹞
After I take my supper, I will take a walk with you.
※若用 "After" 一詞,則可以用 Simple Present Tense 來代替。
這種情況是:
"Simple present tense in form but present perfect tense in meaning."
﹝形式上是一般現在時態,但意義上是現在完成時態﹞
He says that he will have graduated from a university
before you return home.

Lesson 34 : Continuous Tense
已介紹過的動詞時態
曾經介紹過的動詞時態有六種:
1. Simple Present Tense
動詞形態:動詞的現在式
例:I do the work now.
2. Simple Past Tense
動詞形態:動詞的過去式
例:I did the work yesterday.
3. Simple Future Tense
動詞形態:will / shall﹝英﹞ + 動詞的現在式
例:I will do the work tomorrow.
4. Present Perfect Tense
動詞形態:have / has + 動詞的過去分詞
I have done the work.
5. Past Perfect Tense
動詞形態:had + 動詞的過去分詞
例:I had done the work before you came.
6. Future Perfect Tense
動詞形態:will ( shall ) have + 動詞的過去分詞
例:I will have done the work before you come.
§ Continuous Tense
現在介紹另一種動詞時態,就是進行時態。這種時態的形態是:
BE + 動詞的過去分詞
動詞的進行時態表示:
正在進行的動作或狀態
進行時態與先前介紹過的六種時態結合,可得出另外六種時態:
1. Present Continuous Tense
2. Past Continuous Tense
3. Future Continuous Tense
4. Present Perfect Continuous Tense
5. Past Perfect Continuous Tense
6. Future Perfect Continuous Tense
1. Present Continuous Tense﹝現在進行時態﹞
動詞的現在進行時態的形態是:
am / are / is + 動詞的現在分詞
動詞的現在進行時態表示:
現在正在進行的動作或狀態
例如:
I am going to school.
You are eating an apple.
He is playing ball.
※ 有些動詞本身已經有「正在進行」的意思,所以不必用進行時態。
包括:
(1) 表示情感的動詞
例如:
錯誤 正確
I am loving you. I love you.
She is hating him. She hates him.
He is liking apples. He likes apples.
They are disliking oranges. They dislike oranges.
(2) 表示佔有的動詞
例如:
錯誤 正確
He is possessing a house. He possesses a house.
She is having two dogs. She has two dogs.
* He is having a bath. "is having" 不解作「佔有」,解作「行」。
* He is having his supper. "is having" 不解作「佔有」,解作「吃」。
(3) 動詞的進行時態表示的動作或狀態是暫時性的和可以立刻停止
的。如果動作或狀態是長期性的或不能立刻停止的,則不可用
進行時態。
例如:
I am seeing a flower.﹝錯誤﹞
I am looking at a flower.﹝正確﹞
* "see" 是外界的形象傳入我的眼中,使我看見;"look" 是我用心去看
外界的形象,使我看見。"see" 不能立刻停止,"look" 可以立刻停止。
* "look"是不及物動詞,要加 "at" 才及物。
Did you see anything?
I looked but saw nothing.
I am hearing the radio.﹝錯誤﹞
I am listening to the radio.﹝正確﹞
* "hear" 是外界的聲音傳入我的耳中,使我聽到;"listen" 是我用心去聽
外界的聲音,使我聽到。"hear" 不能立刻停止,"listen" 可以立刻停止。

Did you hear any sound?
I listened but heard nothing.
I see everything but look at nothing.﹝視而不見﹞
I hear everything but listen to nothing.﹝聽而不聞﹞
但當 "see" 及 "hear' 不解作「看」和「聽」時,可用進行時態:
The policeman is seeing the matter.
﹝那警察正在查訪那事件。﹞
The judge is hearing the case.
﹝那法官正在審查那案件。﹞
The cow is standing on the hill.﹝正確﹞
The temple is standing on the hill.﹝錯誤﹞
The temple stands on the hill.﹝正確﹞
The horse is lying on the road.﹝正確﹞
A tree is lying on the road.﹝錯誤﹞
A tree lies on the road.﹝正確﹞
2. Past Continuous Tense﹝過去進行時態﹞
動詞的過去進行時態的形態是:
was / were + 動詞的現在分詞
動詞的過去進行時態表示:
過去某一時間內正在進行的動作或狀態
例如:
He was sleeping when I saw him yesterday.
When he came, I was reading the magazine.
Where were you going when I saw you yesterday?
3. Future Continuous Tense﹝將來進行時態﹞
動詞的將來進行時態的形態是:

Lesson 35 : Passive Voice
Passive Voice
英文動詞有主動語態 Active Voice 和被動語態 Passive Voice
之分。
如果主語是動作或狀態的「發出者」,動詞就用主動語態;如果主語
是動作或狀態的「承受者」,動詞就用被動語態。
例如:
1. John encouraged Mary.﹝約翰鼓勵瑪莉。﹞
2. Mary was encouraged by John.﹝瑪莉受到約翰鼓勵。﹞
※ 第一句的動詞 "encouraged" 是主動語態;第二句的動詞
"was encouraged"是被動語態。
動詞的被動語態的總形態是:
BE + 動詞的過去分詞
動詞由主動語態變為被動語態的步驟:
1. 將賓語變為主語;
2. 根據新主語的身和數,並考慮時態,然後決定 "BE" 的形態;
3. 將舊主語放在 "by" 之後構成介詞短語。
1. Simple Present Tense
主動語態: I teach him.
被動語態: He is taught by me.
2. Present Continuous Tense
主動語態: I am teaching him.
被動語態: He is being taught by me.
3. Present Perfect Tense
主動語態: I have taught him.
被動語態: He has been taught by me.
4. Present Perfect Continuous Tense
主動語態: I have been teaching him for a week.
被動語態: 缺
5. Simple Past Tense
主動語態: I taught him yesterday.
被動語態: He was taught by me yesterday.
6. Past Continuous Tense
主動語態: I was teaching him when you came.
被動語態: He was being taught by me when you came.
7. Past Perfect Tense
主動語態: I had taught him before you came.
被動語態: He had been taught by me before you came.
8. Past Perfect Continuous Tense
主動語態: I had been teaching him an hour before you came.
被動語態: 缺
9. Simple Future Tense
主動語態: I shall teach him tomorrow.
被動語態: He will be taught by me tomorrow.
10. Future Continuous Tense
主動語態: I shall be teaching him when you come.
被動語態: 缺
11. Future Perfect Tense
主動語態: I shall have taught him before the sun sets.
被動語態: He will have been taught by me before the sun sets.
12. Future Perfect Continuous Tense
主動語態: I shall have been teaching him for an hour before
the sun sets.
被動語態: 缺
其他例子
主動語態: I am looking for you.
被動語態: You are being looked for by me.
* "look" 不及物動詞,加 "for" 成及物, "look for" 解作「找尋」。
主動語態: I sleep.﹝正確﹞
被動語態: I am slept.﹝錯誤﹞
* 不及物動詞沒有被動語態。
主動語態: We must do it now.
被動語態: It must be done ( by us ) now.
※ 如果句子中有這類助動詞,那麼動詞的被動語態的形態是:
助動詞 + BE + 動詞的過去分詞
※ 在不引起誤解的情況下, "by us" 有時可省去。
主動語態: You can do it now.
被動語態: It can be done by you now.
主動語態: I gave him a book.
被動語態: He was given a book by me.
※ 如果有兩個賓語,通常代表人的間接賓語變為主語,另一個保留
不動,稱為「保留賓語」Retained Object。
※ 不過,也可以把直接賓語變為主語。
主動語態: I gave him a book.
被動語態: A book was given him by me.
§ 使用被動語態的一般因由
1. 不易說出動作或狀態的「發出者」
例如:
This building was completed in 1980.
* 由誰建成,不易說出。
2. 不便說出動作或狀態的「發出者」
例如:
The meeting has been postponed till Friday.
3. 動作或狀態的「承受者」比「發出者」更需強調
例如:
A press conference was held last night.
4. 為了修辭
例如:
The teacher loves the students and is loved by them.
練習
翻譯
1. 他被各人愛戴。
2. 俘虜被縛在那棵樹上。
3. 那個小盜已被警察拘捕了嗎?
4. 那位老師被所有學生歡迎。

Lesson 36 : Adverb Clause
Adverb Clause
除了用單詞或短語來形容動詞、形容詞或副詞之外,還可以用從句
來形容上述詞類,這類從句稱為「副詞從句」Adverb Clause。
根據副詞從句的不同功用,可分成:
1. Adverb Clause of Time
2. Adverb Clause of Place
3. Adverb Claued of Reason
4. Adverb Clause of Result
5. Adverb Clause of Purpose
6. Adverb Clause of Manner
7. Adverb Clause of Concession
8. Adverb Clause of Comparison
9. Adverb Clause of Condition
1. Adverb Clause of Time 連接時間副詞從句與主句的詞常見的有:
when, while, whenever, as, as soon as, once,
as long as, until(till), since, after, before
例如:
When money speaks, truth keeps silence.
﹝當金錢一開口,真理就保持靜默。﹞
* "when"意指「當﹝一剎那﹞」。
* 副詞從句可放在主句前或後,放在主句前,通常用逗號與主句隔開。
* 這例句運用擬人法。
Come when you please.
Strike while the iron is hot.﹝打鐵趁熱。﹞
* "while"意指「當﹝一段時間﹞」。
When (he was) young, he was not happy.
* 副詞從句的動詞用be,而又與主要子句的主語相同,則副詞從句的主語
及be 動詞可一起省略。
I learned English while (I was) in London.
Who took your place while you were ill?
* 病了一段時間,不能用 "when"。
Whenever you go, I will follow you.
* "whenever" 意指「無論何時」。
You may come whenever you like.
I read the letter as I walked along the river.
* "as" 意指「一邊……一邊……」
His voice trembled as he spoke the last sentence.
* "as" 意指 "when"。
As soon as the burglar came into my room, I caught him.
* "as soon as" 意指「一……就……」﹝兩種動作或變化的時間極短。﹞
I shall tell him as soon as he comes.
Once you know him, you will like him.
* "once" 意指「一旦﹝兩種動作或變化的時差極短。﹞
Once you show any fear, he will attack you.
I love you as long as I live.
* "as long as" 意指「只要」或「有……之久」。
I shall never forget your kindness as long as I live.
Wait here until I come back.
* "until" 意指「直到」。
* "till" 與 "until" 的意思一樣, "until" 較鄭重其事。
They never know the worth of liberty till they lose it.
He has not been well since he returned from Malaya.
* "since" 意指「自從」。
* 通常,主句用 "present perfect tense" ,從句用 "simple past tense"。
We have both changed since we parted.
It is five years since I saw her last.
How long is it since he went to London?
* 有些文法書認為主句所表達的,與其說是時間的經過,不如說是
時間的長短,因此應用 Simple Present Tense 。
例如:
It is ten years since I last saw him.
或 How long is it since you had a raise in salary ?
但英美人士卻覺得非常奇怪,他們通常會說:
It has been ten years since I last saw him.
或 How long has it been since you had a raise in salary?
不過,也有例外的情況,若表示從過去到現在並沒有改變的性格,
則可以用Simple Present Tense。例如:
She is nervous about riding in a car since she was involved
in the car accident.
I left before he arrived. ( 或 I had left before he arrived.)
﹝他到達之前,我己離開了。﹞
He arrived after I left. ( 或 He arrived after I had left.)
﹝我離開後,他才到達。﹞
2. Adverb Clause of Place連接地點副詞從句與主句的詞主要有:
where, wherever, whence, whither
例如:
Where there is a will, there is a way.﹝有志者,事竟成。﹞
Put the book where it was.
The beautiful sight greets us wherever we look.
* "wherever" 意指「無論何處」。
* 本句運用擬人法。
Sit wherever you like.
Don't ask me whence I came.﹝不要問我從哪裡來。﹞
* "whence" 意指「從哪裡來」。
Go back whence you came.﹝歸去由來處。﹞
A rudder guides the ship whither it wills.
﹝指導員引導船往它要到的地方去。﹞
* "whither" 意指「到哪裡去」。
3. Adverb Clause of Reason連接理由副詞從句與主句的詞主要有:
because, since, as, for, seeing(that)
例如:
He did it because he thought it right.
* "because" 意指「因為」;它所帶出的原由是說話者認為聽者不知道的。
I love you because you understand me.
Since everybody is present, we may begin our discussion.
* "since" 意指「因為」;它所帶出的原由是說話者認為聽者已經知道的。
Since we have no money, we cannot buy it.
As I shall be here again tomorrow, I will not stay now.
* "as" 意指「因為」;它所帶出的原由是說話者認為聽者已經知道的。
She stayed at home as she had no car.
He did not come, for he was ill.
* "for" 意指「因為」;不可放在句首;前面常置逗號。
We cannot go, for it is raining.
※ 依表示理由或原因的強度比較:because → since → as → for
Seeing (that) he says so, it may be true.
He could not ask questions, seeing it was none of his
business.
4. Adverb Clause of Result連接副詞從句與主句的詞主要有:
so that, so…that, such…that
例如:
The train was late, so that I could not keep my word.
* "so that" 意指「因此」或「以致」﹝with the result that﹞。
Turn it from time to time, so that it may be cooked alike
on both sides.
He was so excited that he could not sleep.
* "so" 後接形容詞或副詞。
Oxygen is so important to life that we cannot live
without it.
He is such a good teacher that every student likes him.
* "such" 後接名詞。
He is such a liar that no one believes him.
5. Adverb Clause of Purpose連接目的副詞從句與主句的詞主要有:
that, so that, in order that, lest, for fear(that)
例如:
He studies hard that he may pass the examination.
* "that", "so that" 及 "in order that" 皆意指「以便」或「為了」。
* 使用"that", "so that" 及 "in order that":
若主句動詞時態是現在時態、現在進行時態及現在完成時態,
從句的動詞形態是: will, can, may, shall + root form;
若主句動詞時態是過去時態,從句的動詞形態是:
would, could, might, should + root form
They hurried that they might not miss the train.
He always takes careful notes so that he may go over
them after class.
I went out for a walk so that I might think the matter over
in the fresh morning air.
Finish this in order that you can start another.
He raised his hard in order that the bus might stop.
I will not make a noise lest I should wake the child.
* "lest" 意指「以免」。
* 使用"lest", "for fear that":
主句的動詞不管什麼時態,從句動詞的形態都是:
should, might + root form
The farmer tied his horse to the tree lest it should
run away.
I put the milk on the shelf for fear (that) the cat
might get at it.
* "for fear (that)" 意指「唯恐」。
I took an umbrella with me for fear that it should rain.
6. Adverb Clause of Concession連接讓步副詞從句與主句的詞主要有:
though, although, even if, even though, however
例如:
Though it is cheap, I do not buy it.
Though he tried hard, he was not successful.
Although he is young, he is wise.
* "although" 與 "though" 的意思一樣,而 "although"的語氣較為堅定。
* "although" 多用於句首。
Although it was so cold, he went out without an overcoat.
※ 在中文裡,使用了「雖然」,隨即使用「但是」。
在英文裡,用了 "although"或 "though",不能再使用 "but";
用了 "but",就不能再使用 "although"或 "though"。
例如:雖然我的心破碎,但是我必須微笑。
1. Although (Though) my heart is breaking, I must smile.
2. My heart is breaking, but I must smile.
3. Although (Though) my heart is breaking, yet (still) I
must smile.
4. My heart is breaking, yet (still) I must smile.
5. Although (Though) my heart is breaking, but I must smile.
﹝錯誤﹞
* "yet" "still" 副詞。
Even if you fail, you will have gained experience.
* "even if" 意指「即使」。
Even though it rains, I will go.
* "even though" 意指「即使」。
However difficult it may be, we will do it.
* "however" 意指「不管怎樣」。
7. Adverb Clause of Manner連接方式副詞從句與主句的詞主要有:
as, as if, as though
例如:
You should pronounce this word as your teacher pronounces it.
* "as" 意指「一如﹝完全一樣﹞」
* 上句可改為:
You should pronounce this word as your teacher does it.
I have done it as it should be done.
Do in Rome as the Romans do.﹝入鄉隨俗。﹞
He acts as if he were crazy.
* "as if"意指「恰如﹝並非完全一樣﹞」。
* "as if" 從句的動詞用假設語氣,因此用 "were"。
不過,在現代口語,有時亦用直說方式﹝現在時態、過去時態、
未來時態等﹞代替假設方式﹝過去時態、過去完成時態﹞。
假設方式強調「非現實性」,直說方式則著重「可能性」。
以前,英文文法規定,在 as if 從句中要用假設方式,例如:
It looks as if it would rain.
現代英文文法漸改用簡潔的直說方式,例如:
It looks as if it will rain.
The baby laughed as if he had understood your expression.
He speaks English as though he were an Englishman.
* "as though" 意指「恰如」。
They talked as though they had been friends for years.
8. Adverb Clause of Comparison連接比較副詞從句與主句的詞主要有:
as…as, so…as, than
例如:
He is as poor as a church mouse.
* 「教堂老鼠」意指沒有東西吃的老鼠。
I am as busy as a bee.
He is as poor as you (are).
※ 若從句與主句的動詞時態相同,則 "are" 可隱藏;
若從句與主句的動詞時態不不同,則 "are" 不可隱藏。
例如:
He is as poor as you were.﹝他現在一如你過去那麼窮。﹞
He was as poor as you are.﹝他過去一如你現在那麼窮。﹞
He was as poor as you (were).﹝他過去一如你過去那麼窮。﹞
She is as tall as he (is).
She is not as tall as he (is).
She is not so tall as he (is).
* "as…as" 在肯定句或否定句中皆可用,而 "so…as" 只在否定句中使用。
I cannot do it so quickly as you.
Mr. Lee is not so old as he looks. |

※ 在未介紹 "than" 這個從屬連詞的用法前,先介紹形容詞的比較級
和最高級。為了表達形容詞的不同程度,形容詞可分三級:
1. 原級 Positive Degree
2. 比較級 Comparative Degree
3. 最高級 Superlative Degree
※ 形容詞的比較級和最高級的形成規則如下:
1. 單音節詞:
a) 通常在原級後加 er 成比較級,加 est 成最高級。例如:
great → greater → greatest
tall → taller → tallest
b) 若以 e 收尾,則加 r 成比較級,加 st 成最高級。例如:
large → larger → largest
c) 若以輔音字母收尾,而輔音字母前是元音字母,則先重複輔音
字母,加 er 成比較級,加 est 成最高級。例如:
big → bigger → biggest
fat → fatter → fattest
2. 雙音節詞:
a) 通常在原級後加 er 成比較級,加 est 成最高級。例如:
clever → cleverer → cleverest
narrow → narrower → narrowest
b) 若以 e 收尾,則加 r 成比較級,加 st 成最高級。例如:
able → abler → ablest
c) 若以 y 收尾,而 y 前是輔音字母,則改 y 為i ,加 er 成
比較級,加est 成最高級。例如:
happy → happier → happiest
lucky → luckier → luckiest
3. 多音節詞:
在前面加 more 成比較級,加 most 成最高級。例如:
beautiful → more beautiful → most beautiful
important → more important → most important
4. 還有一些單詞的比較級和最高級是不規則的:
原級 比較級 最高級
good / well better best
bad / ill worse woest
many / much more most
little less least
far farther / further farthest / furthest
old older / elder oldest / eldest
例如:
He is older than I.
Mary is two years younger than I.
Two heads are better than one.
9. Adverb Clause of Condition連接條件副詞從句與主句的詞主要有:
if, in case, so long as, on condition (that),
provided that, providing, suppose, supposing, unless
例如:
If you go away, I will not cry.
* "if" 意指「如果」。
* 從句的動詞用現在時態表示將來發生的事情。
In case he gives me a phone call, tell him that
I will call him back.
* "in case" 意指「萬一」。
So long as you keep the book clean, you may borrow it.
* "so long as" 意指「只要」。
I will sell you this camera on condition that you pay
in cash.
* "on condition (that)" 意指「在……條件下」。
I will go provided that you go.
* "provided (that)" 意指「假使」。
I will do so providing you agree.
* "providing" 意指「假使」。
Suppose she refuses, what shall we do?
* "suppose" 意指「假使」。
Supposing he cannot come, who will do the work?
* "supposing" 意指「假使」。
You will fail unless you work harder.
* "unless" 意指「除非」。
※ 根據條件副詞從句所表示的假設情況是否可能實現,可分以下幾種類型:
A. 表示假設情況有可能或很可能實現
句式:從句﹝if + 動詞現在式﹞ / 主句﹝will / may /… + 原型﹞
例如:
If I have time, I will visit you.
If it rains, bring me my umbrella.
B. 表示假設情況不可能實現並且跟現在的事實相反
句式:從句﹝if + 動詞過去式﹞ / 主句﹝would / should + 原型﹞
例如:
If I had money, I should lend you some.
﹝如果我有錢【現在沒有】,我會借一些給你。﹞
If I were a bird, I would fly to you at once.
﹝如果我是一隻鳥【現在不是】,我立刻飛到你那裡去。﹞
If I were a king, you would be a queen.
﹝如果我是皇帝【現在不是】,你就是皇后。﹞
If I knew English, I would talk with the American businessman.
﹝如果我懂英語【現在不懂】,我會跟那個美國商人商談。﹞
C. 假設情況不可能實現並且跟過去的事實相反
句式:從句﹝if + had + 過去分詞﹞ / 主句﹝would / should
+ have + 過去分詞﹞
例如:
If you had reached the station earlier, you should have
caught the train.
﹝如果你早些到達火車站【剛才沒有早到】,你應趕上那班火車。﹞
If I had seen him yesterday, I would have told him the news.
﹝如果我昨天見到他【昨天沒有見到】,我會告訴他這個消息。﹞

1. He was later than I expected.
2. I have not heard the latest news.﹝我仍未聽聞最近的新聞。﹞

2. John is wiser than any other student in his class.
* "all" 用眾數;"any" 用單數。

應說:
1. The price of gold is higher than the price of silver.或

Lesson 38 : Comparison of Adverb
Comparison of Adverb
除形容詞外,副詞亦可分三級:
1. 原級 Positive Degree
2. 比較級 Comparative Degree
3. 最高級 Superlative Degree
一般來說,副詞的原級變為比較級、最高級的方法,跟形容詞一樣。
但有些副詞變為比較級、最高級,是不規則的:
原級 比較級 最高級
well better best
badly worse worst
much more most
little less least
far farther / futher fathest / futhest
例如:
1. Oliver ran fast in this race.
2. Christopher ran faster than Oliver in this race.
3. Joseph ran fastest of all in this race.
1. Tom plays skillfully.
2. Billy plays more skillfully than Tom.
3. Jack plays most skillfully of all.
1. Lily writes very well.
2. Rose writes better than Lily.
3. Nancy writes best of all.
1. He comes oftener than I but you come oftenest.
2. He comes more often than I but you come most often.
* "often" 可加er / est 或用 more / most。
1. I know you better than he.﹝我比他更了解你。﹞
2. I know you better than him.﹝我了解你勝過了解他。﹞
Tom played badly, Joseph played worse and Harry played worst.
Eat less, drink less and sleep more.
※ "very" 和 "much" 都解作「非常」、「十分」或「很」。
不論形容詞或副詞,形容原級,用 "very" ;形容比較級或
最高級,用 "much"。
例如:
1. He is a very wise man.
2. He runs very quickly.
3. This house is much larger than that house.
4. He is the much cleverest boy of the four.
5. He does his work much more quickly than I do.
但 "different" 例外,雖然是原級,但通常用 "much" 來形容。
例如:
Your method is much different from me.
因為在形式上,"different" 雖為原級,但在意義上,卻有比較的意味。

1. 他做事較我快。

Lesson 39 : Infinitive
Finite Verb and Non-Finite Verb
在以前所介紹的五種英語基本句型中,各種句型的謂語動詞
都是「限定動詞」Finite Verb。
什麼是限定動詞?那是指受主語的身和數限制的動詞。
除了限定動詞外,還有「非限定動詞」Non-Finite Verb。
什麼是非限定動詞?那是指不受主語的身和數限制的動詞。
非限定動詞有三種:
1. 不定詞 Infinitive
2. 動名詞 Gerund
3. 分詞 Participle
例如:
I want to go.
You want to go
He wants to go.
* "want" 是限定動詞,若主語是第三身單數,則要加 "s";
"to go" 是非限定動詞﹝不定詞﹞。
§ Infinitive and Infinitive Phrase 的功用
現在先介入不定詞 Infinitive。
不定詞的一般形態是: to + root form
例如:
I go to swim.
I go to school.
* "to swim" 是不定詞;"to school" 不是。
不定詞可以有自己的賓語,亦可以被副詞修飾。
不定詞加上賓語或副詞所構成的短語,稱「不定詞短語」
Infinitive Phrase。
1. 作名詞
例如:
To study English is very easy if you adopt an effective method.
To smoke is a bad habit.
I want to buy a dictionary.
He wishes to be a doctor.
Do you know how to speak German?
Do you know where to go?
To see is to believe.
His business is to sell newspapers.
※ 不定詞可作為 but, except, about 這三個介詞後面的名詞
並構成介詞短語。例如:
She wants nothing but to marry.
He knows nothing except to cry.
* 當不定詞可作為 but, except這兩個介詞後面的名詞並構成介詞短語時,
"to"可隱藏。即:
She wants nothing but marry.
He knows nothing except cry.
The child is about to cry.﹝這小孩將要哭。﹞
The old man is about to die.﹝這老人將要死。﹞
2. 作形容詞
例如:
Have you any rice to sell?
He has no friends to help him.
Has he no house to live in?
*「原裝」:He has no house in which to live.
「變裝」:He has no house which to live in.
「簡裝」:He has no house to live in.
The boy has no friends to play with.
Her wish to become an actress has come true.
He has raised his ability to listen, speak, read and write.
※ 在 "see", "watch", "notice", "observe", "hear", "feel',
"let", "make" 等動詞後面的不定詞短語,"to"要隱藏。例如:
Yesterday I saw him fly a kite.
Did you hear a bird sing in the tree this morning?
He let me drink it.﹝他讓我喝。﹞
He made me drink it.﹝他逼我喝。﹞
3. 作副詞
例如:
I shall go to America to learn engineering tomorrow.
Those days have gone never to turn.
I am sorry to strike you.
I am glad to inform you that you have passed the examination.
She is too young to marry.
His income is too small to support his family.
John is old enough to go to school.
* "enough" 放在所形容的詞後面。
* 不定詞短語所形容的副詞只有"too" 和 "enough"。
It is a good idea, to be sure!
* 不定詞短語 "to be sure" 形容整個句子 "to be sure"。
To tell you the truth, I love her very much.
§ 不定詞的時態與語態
不定詞本身可以有不同的時態和語態。現以 "do" 為例表列如下:
* 主動語態 被動語態
一般時態 to do to be done
完成時態 to have done to have been done
進行時態 to be doing /
※ 不定詞一般時態所表示的動作變化與謂語動詞所表示的動作變化
可以同時發生,或者在謂語動詞所表示的動作變化之後發生。
※ 不定詞完成時態所表示的動作變化在謂語動詞所表示的動作變化
之前發生。
1. I want to love her.﹝我想去愛她。﹞
2. I want to have loved her.﹝我想已愛上了她。﹞
1. He seems to be sick.﹝他似乎有病。﹞
2. He seems to have been sick.﹝他似乎曾經病過。﹞
※ 當謂語動詞所表示的動作變化發生時,若不定詞所表示的動作變化
正在進行,則不定詞要用進行時態。
They seem to be talking about something important.
﹝他們似乎正在談論某些重要的事情。﹞
She asked to be sent to that department.
﹝她請求被派到那個部門。﹞
I feel happy to have been asked to speak here.
﹝我感到高興被邀請到這裡講話。﹞

Lesson 40 : Some Uses of Infinitive
Some Uses of Infinitive
不定詞或不定詞短語跟某些單詞連用,有特殊的意義。
1. 表示「能夠」
形態:be + able + infinitive
例如:
I can speak English.
I am able to speak English.
I cannot speak English.
I am not able to speak English.
I am unable to speak English.
I could speak English last year.
I was able to speak English last year.
I could not speak English last year.
I was not able to speak English last year.
I was unable to speak English last year.
※ "can + root form" 和 "could + root form" 只能表示
一般現在時態及一般過去時態,其他時態就不能表示了。
若要表示,就要用 "be + able + infinitive"。例如:
When shall I be able to speak English?
You will be able to speak English next year.
Has your baby been able to walk by himself now?
2. 表示「必須」
形態:have + infinitive
例如:
You must go.
You have to go.
* "have to" 好比 "must"。
※ "must + root form" 只能表示一般現在時態及一般過去時態,
其他時態就不能表示了。
若要表示,就要用 "have + to + infinitive"。
例如:
You had to go to school yesterday.
* "had to" 好比 "must" 的一般過去時態。
You will have to serve in the army next year.
You have had to go to school now. Why are you still
playing ball here?
* "have had to" 表示現在完成時態。
3. 表示「從﹝何處﹞做﹝什麼﹞回來」
形態:have been + to (place) + infinitive
例如:
I have been to Kowloon Bay to visit my grandmother.
﹝我從九龍灣探訪我的祖母回來。﹞
I have been to the airport to see my friend off.
﹝我從機場送我朋友的機回來。﹞
4. 表示「安排好的將來」
形態:be + infinitive
例如:
I am to go to the movies tonight.
We are to be married in May.
5. 表示「快將發生的將來」
形態:be + going + infinitive
例如:
It is going to rain soon.
He is going to leave tomorrow.
6. 表示「即將發生的將來」
形態:be + about + infinitive
例如:
The plane is about to start.
I am about to resign my position.
* "be going to" 和 "be about to" 都有「快將」或「即將」之意。
前者較口語,多用於日常會話中;後者較文言,多用於文章中。
※ 表示「將來」的說法有多種:
1. I study English tomorrow.
﹝用 Simple Present Tense加上表示將來的副詞表示。﹞
2. I shall study English.
﹝表示純粹的將來。﹞
3. I will study English.
﹝表示「主角意願」的將來。﹞
4. I am to study English.
﹝表示安排好的將來。﹞

Lesson 41 : Verbal Noun
Verbal Noun 的功用
在未介紹 Gerund﹝動名詞﹞之前,先介紹 Verbal Noun
﹝由動詞變成的名詞﹞。有些文法學者把 Verbal Noun 歸入
Gerund 中。
什麼是 Verbal Noun?
由動詞的 root form + ing 構成。這類詞己失去動詞的特性,
只是「名詞」。
※ Verbal Noun可作句子中的主語、賓語或主語補語
例如:
To smoke is a bad habit.
Smoking is a bad habit.﹝作主語﹞
Do you like to smoke?
Do you like smoking?﹝作賓語﹞
We stopped to talk.﹝我們停止其事情而去談話。﹞
We stopped talking.﹝我們停止談話。﹞﹝作賓語﹞
To see is to believe.
Seeing is believing.﹝作主語、主語補語﹞
§ Verbal Noun 的名詞特性
1. Verbal Noun 前面可加冠詞
例如:
The hunting of tigers is very dangerous.
* 加 "the" ,特指那種狩獵。
I like the drinking of wine.
His business is the selling of oranges.
2. 不定詞只能放在 but, except, about三個介詞後面構成
介詞短語,但 Verbal Noun 可放在任一個介詞後面構成
介詞短語。
例如:
Are you fond of sleeping?
John is punished for cheating.
We must be good at learning.
3. Verbal Noun 可被形容詞修飾
例如:
The work needs careful planning.
Thank you for your coming.
4. 在 Verbal Noun 前可加所有格
例如:
Are you afraid of your teacher's coming?
Does your parents' coming make you happy?

Lesson 42 : Gerund
Gerund and Gerund Phrase 的功用
以前提及非限制動詞有三種:
1. 不定詞 Infinitive
2. 動名詞 Gerund
3. 分詞 Participle
現在介紹第二種。
什麼是動名詞 Gerund?
動名詞由動詞的 root form + ing 構成。這類詞既有動詞的特性,
亦有名詞的特性。
此外,動名詞加賓語或修飾語,構成動名詞短語 Gerund Phrase。
1. 作主語
例如:
To hunt tigers is very dangerous.﹝ㄘw詞短語﹞
The hunting of tigers is very dangerous.﹝Verbal Noun﹞
Hunting tigers is very dangerous.﹝動名詞短語﹞
Driving a motorcar requires skill.
Speaking rudely is wrong.
* "rudely" 是副詞,不修飾名詞,只修飾動詞,故 "Speaking" 是 Gerund,
不是 Verbal Noun。
There is no stopping him.﹝無法阻止他。﹞
There is no denying this.﹝這是無法否認的。﹞
2. 作賓語
例如:
I like drinking tea.
We enjoy playing table-tennis.
3. 作補語
例如:
His bad habit is drinking wine.
My hobby is collecting stamps.
Our aim is mastering English in the shortest possible time.
4. 放在介詞後面構成介詞短語
例如:
John has a bad habit of spitting everywhere.
* "everywhere" 是副詞,不修飾名詞,只修飾動詞。
You cannot hope to learn a foreign language well without
making efforts.
※ 有些動詞後面只能以 Verbal Noun 或 Gerund 作賓語,
而不能以 Infinitive 作賓語。
例如:
You can hardly avoid meeting her if you both work in the same office.
I have finished reading a book.
He suggested reading the instructions first.
Would you mind opening the window?
You should practice writing English regularly.
He denied knowing anything about their plans.
We missed seeing that film when it was at the local cinema.
They couldn't help laughing.
We are considering going to America.
§ 動名詞的時態和語態
動名詞本身可以有不同的時態和語態。現以 "do" 為例表列如下:
* 主動語態 被動語態
一般時態 doing being done
完成時態 having done having been done
※ 動名詞的一般時態所表示的動作變化在時間上可以不確定,
或者可與謂語動詞所表示的動作變化可以同時發生。
※ 動名詞的完成時態所表示的動作變化在謂語動詞所表示的
動作變化之前發生。
I hate disturbing people in their work.
﹝我不喜歡在人家工作時打擾他人。﹞
I hate being disturbed in my work.
﹝我不喜歡在我工作時被他人打擾。﹞
Being taught by a good teacher is a blessing.
She did the work without being asked.
I recall having met him somewhere.
I remember having seen the film.
After having finished his lessons, he went home.
He denied having been warned of the danger.
She denied having been told about the news.

Lesson 43 : Verbal Adjective
Present Verbal Adjective and Past Verbal Adjective
在未介紹 Participle 之前,先介紹 Verbal Adjective
﹝由動詞變成的形容詞﹞。
什麼是Verbal Adjective?
即是動詞的現在分詞或過去分詞。不過,這類詞已失去動詞的特性,
只具形容詞的特性。
Verbal Adjective 有兩種:
1. Present Verbal Adjective
即動詞的現在分詞當作形容詞來使用;帶有「現在」及「主動」
的含意。
2. Past Verbal Adjective
即動詞的過去分詞當作形容詞來使用;帶有「過去」及「被動」
的含意。
§ Verbal Adjective 的功用
1. 形容主語
例如:
Those flying birds are eagles.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.﹝滾石不生苔【常轉業不利】。﹞
A burnt child dreads fire.﹝被燒過的小孩怕火。﹞
The used key is always bright.﹝流水不腐。﹞
2. 形容賓語
例如:
Sweep the falling leaves.﹝掃那些正在落下的葉子。﹞
※ 上句的意思不通,正在落下怎麼掃呢?應說:
Sweep the fallen leaves.﹝掃那些已落下的葉子。﹞
We drink boiled water, we don't drink boiling water.
﹝我們喝己沸騰的水,不喝正在沸騰的水。﹞
We repaired the broken window.
3. 作主語補語
例如:
His argument is very convincing.
The situation was very puzzling.
The baby seems worried.
She looked delighted.
4. 作賓語補語
例如:
He wants his eggs fried.
He keeps me waiting.﹝他使我等候。﹞
His words set me thinking.﹝他的話使我思考。﹞
Can you smell something burning?
I had my hair cut.﹝我理了髮。﹞
5. 作擬似補語
例如:
John comes running.﹝約翰走著來。﹞
* "comes" 是完意不及物動詞;"running" 是 Pseudo Complement。
She sat smiling.
* "smiling" 是 Pseudo Complement。

Lesson 44 : Participle
Present Participle & Past Participle
以前提及非限制動詞有三種:
1. 不定詞 Infinitive
2. 動名詞 Gerund
3. 分詞 Participle
現在介紹第三種。
什麼是分詞 Participle?
分詞即是動詞的現在分詞或過去分詞。這類詞有動詞、形容詞以及
副詞的特性。
此外,分詞加上賓語或修飾語,構成分詞短語 Participle Phrase。
分詞有兩種:
1. Present Participle 現在分詞有不同的時態和語態。
2. Past Participle 過去分詞沒有不同時態和只有被動語態。
現以 "do" 為例表列如下:
* * 主動語態 被動語態
present participle 一般時態 doing being done
完成時態 having done having been done
past participle / / done
※ 現在分詞的一般時態所表示的動作變化,與謂語動詞所表示的
動作變化同時發生。
※ 現在分詞的完成時態所表示的動作變化,通常在謂語動詞所表
示的動作變化之前發生。
※ 過去分詞所表示的動作變化,在謂語動詞所表示的動作變化之
前發生。
例如:
Hearing the noise, the boy woke up.
The girls playing volleyball are my classmates.
Being dissatisfied, he resigned his position.
The carpenter, making a desk, is this boy's father.
I saw him holding two books in his hand yesterday.
We walked on the way feeling thirsty and eating fruit.
* "feeling thirsty" 及 "eating fruit" 是 "Pseudo Complement"。
Generally speaking, man is stronger than woman
* "Generally speaking" 作副詞。
Strictly speaking, they are different.
The questions being discussed are very important.
Being suddenly seized with an illness, he was unable
to come to deliver his lecture.
Having promised him, you should keep your word.
Having made the first point clear, the teacher explained
the second.
Having been told about the good news, she was very happy.
Having been bitten twice, the postman refused to deliver
our letters unless we chained our dog up.
Books read in childhood seem like old friends.
Driven by hunger, he stole a piece of bread.
The old man, broken with age, hobbled along.
Deceived by his friend, he lost all hope.
※ 某些動詞﹝例如:see, watch, notice, observe, hear, feel,
listen to,let, make 等﹞後面,可以用 Present Participle
作賓語補語,亦可以用 Infinitive with "to" 作賓語補語,但
兩者所表達的意思不同:前者表示動作變正在進行;後者表示動
作變化已經完成。例如:
I saw him crossing the road.﹝我看見他正在橫過馬路。﹞
I saw him cross the road.﹝我看見他已橫過馬路。﹞

Lesson 45 : Conjunction
Coordinate Conjunction
英文單詞可分十類,其中一類是連詞 Conjunction。
什麼是連詞?
連接單詞與單詞、短語與短語或句子與句子的詞。
根據所連接的項目是否「平等」,連詞可分兩種:
1. 對等連詞 Coordinate Conjunction
例如:and, or, but, as well as, not only...but also,...
2. 從屬連詞 Subordinate Conjunction
例如:because, if, after, before, as soon as,...

(2) 著重B。
例如:
He is not only brave but also wise.
The thief not only stole her money but also her jewels.
錯!因為A與B所用的詞不同類型!
應改為:
The thief stole not only her money but also her jewels.
The robber not only killed his wife but also took his
money.
有毛病!照常理,「殺妻子」比「取金錢」更重要!
應改為:
The robber not only took his money but also killed his
wife.
2. both...and...
"both A and B"
意思是:A 並且 B。
※ (1) A與B要同一類型;

例如:
We both love and honor him.
Both you and I are students.
He is both a soldier and a poet.
3. as well as
"A as well as B"
意思是:除了 B,還有 A。
※ (1) A與B要同一類型;

(3) 動詞以A為準。
例如:
John as well as you is my bosom friend.
He gave me advice as well as money.
The teacher as well as students wants a holiday.
4. either...or...
"either A or B"
意思是:不是 A,就是 B。
※ (1) A與B要同一類型;
(2) 著重B;
(3) 動詞以B為準。
例如:
Either you or he is a thief.
Either come in or go out.
He is either sick or lazy.
5. neither...nor...
"neither A or B"
意思是:既不是 A,亦不是 B。
※ (1) A與B要同一類型;
(2) 著重B;
(3) 動詞以B為準。
例如:
Neither I nor he knows it.
He neither knows nor cares what happened.
He liked neither this one nor that one.
6. whether...or...
"whether A or B"
意思是:或者A,或者B。
※ (1) A與B不必定要同一類型;
(2) 同樣著重A及B。
例如:
I wonder whether we shall be in time for the last bus
or we shall have to walk home.
I do not care whether you go or stay.
Tell me whether he is at home or at the office.

Lesson 46 : Imperative Mood
Imperative Mood
除了可以從「時態」或「語態」方面研究英文動詞外,還可以
從「語氣」方面進行研究。
英文動詞的語氣可分三種:
1. 直陳語氣 Indicative Mood
表示動詞所描述的動作變是事實或是可能發生的事實。
2. 虛擬語氣 Subjunctive Mood
表示動詞所描述的動作變只是願望或想像,並非事實或
可能發生的事實。
3. 祈使語氣 Imperative Mood
表示動詞所傳達的只是命令、請求、勸告或禁令等。
現在探討祈使語氣。
1. 當動詞使用祈使語氣時,句中的主語鼎僕丰h。
例如:
Stop!
Come in.
2. 如果要提及主語,多放在句子後面。
例如:
Eat your dinner, Tom.
Run, Mary!
3. 不使用 "am / are / is" ,只使用 "be"。
例如:
Be careful.
Be quiet, Tom!
4. 否定句可用 "don't" 開始。
例如:
Don't be fussy.﹝不要大驚小怪。﹞
Don't stand near the door!
5. 否定句亦可使用 "never" 開始。
例如:
Never tell a black lie!
* "black lie" 指惡意的謊言; "white lie" 指善意的謊言。
Never fear!
6. 否定句也可以使用 "No + Noun" 表示。
例如:
No smoking.
* "smoking" 是 Verbal Noun。
No exit.
7. 肯定句前加 "do",可加強語氣。
例如:
Remember me.
Remember me!
Do remember me!
Do be diligent!
8. 動詞可用被動語態。
例如:
Be advised by your teacher!
Do be directed by me!﹝聽我指示!﹞
9. 加 "please" 比較有禮貌。
例如:
Bring me a cup of tea.
Please bring me a cup of tea.
Sit down, please.
* "please" 放句前,不用加 ",";放句後,要加。
10. 使用疑問句,更有禮貌。
例如:
Would you count your change?
Could you please show me the way to City Hall?
Would you mind signing this form?
Why don't you buy this book?
11. 如果祈使的對象是第三者或包括自己在內,則用 "let"。
例如:
Let us go!
Let him do that!
Live and let live!﹝和平共處!﹞
Don't let us do that!
練習
翻譯:
1. 如果你感到口渴,請喝茶吧。
2. 請他們去看電影。
3. 不可說謊!
4. 行快些,否則你將遲到。
5. 請借三元給我。
6. 告訴瑪麗我決定下個月離開香港。
7. 去見我父親並告訴他我已完成我的功課。
8. 請站在這裡直至李先生來。
9. 給我那些紅皮面的書。
10. 不要玩火!
1. Please drink tea if you feel thirsty.
2. Invite them to go to the movie.
3. Don't tell a lie!
4. Walk quickly, otherwise you will be late.
5. Please lend me three dollars.
6. Tell Mary that I will leave Hong Kong next month.
7. Go and see my father and tell him that I have finished my lesson.

Lesson 47 : Some Uses of "It"
Some Uses of "It"
現在介紹 "It" 這個單詞的某些用法。
1. Impersonal "It" ﹝非人稱的 "It"﹞

天色、時間、距離以及一些模糊、籠統的情況。譯為中文時,

例如:
It is two o'clock.﹝現在兩點鐘。﹞

2. Expletive "It" ﹝填補的 "It"﹞
這種 "It" 作為句子中的「形式主語」或「形式賓語」,
代表後面的「真正主語」或「真正賓語」。
例如:
It is dangerous to play with fire.
* "It" 代表後面的 "to play with fire" (Infinitive Phrase)。
It is childish to say such things.
* "It" 代表後面的 "to say such things" (Infinitive Phrase)。
It is difficult to make a decision without knowing all
the facts.
* "It" 代表後面的 "to make a decision without knowing all
the facts" (Infinitive Phrase)。

* "It" 代表後面的 "learning a theory without practice"(Gerund Phrase)。
I think it a pity that he did not study hard.
* "It" 代表後面的 "that he did not study hard" (Noun Clause)。
3. Emphatic "It" ﹝增勢的 "It"﹞
這種 "It" 可強調句子中的某些成份。
例如:
I saw your teacher yesterday.
(a) 強調賓語 "your teacher"
It was your teacher that I saw yesterday.
(b) 強調主語 "I"
It was I that saw your teacher yesterday.
(c) 強調副詞 "yesterday"
It was yesterday that I saw your teacher.
I am in power.﹝我是當權的。﹞
若強調「我」,可寫成:
It is I that am in power.
* "that" 後的動詞以主語補語作準,而不以主語作準。
Shower and dew make the grass grow.
若強調「陣雨和露珠」,可寫成:
It is shower and dew that make the grass grow.
