△思路点拨
从[真题再练]来看,5年8套题有16道是谓语动词的错,平均每套2道题,可见谓语动词在短文改错中是错得最多的,是最重要的考点。短文一般含8到10句话,对每句话的谓语一定都要仔细研究。可按以下线索去思考:
1. 查时态是否一致。
遇到某个谓语动词的时态与上下文的时态不一致时,十有八九是出错了,需仔细审查。如[真题再练]1,前面两个动词was hoped和后面的would都是过去式,而think却用一般现在时,不一致,就很可能错了,需重点核实。
2. 查语态是否正确。
当主语是谓语动词的动作的承受者时,即谓语与主语在逻辑上有动宾关系时,要用被动语态。被动语态由“be 过去分词”构成。[真题再练]10、11、12题即考查语态。
(1)查该用主动还是被动。如果是主动语态,句中有行为动词时,不能再用be。如[真题再练]10,“研究”与“表明”是主动关系,已有行为动词show了,就不能再用be,故删除been。
(2)如果要用被动语态,看是否漏掉be;同时注意be的时态是否正确,主谓是否一致,过去分词拼写是否正确(常误写成过去式或原形)。如[真题再练]12,就是过去分词的拼写错误。
3. 查并列动词的形式是否一致。
在A and /or B或A B and C这类结构中,A B C的形式应一致,关键是要找准谁跟谁并列,不要找错对象,尤其当句子有谓语动词又有非谓语动词时更应注意。如[真题再练]8、9。
4. 查主谓是否一致。
有时虽然前后时态是一致的,但主谓不一致。如[真题再练]13,主语clothes是复数,谓语动词却用单数was;[真题再练]14,主语My dream school是第三人称单数,谓语动词look却用复数(原形)。
5. 查情态动词是否用错。
若有情态动词,首先根据语境体会句子所表达的语气与情态,判断是否用错了情态动词。如[真题再练]16,“我明白了,有了耐心,我就一定让我的玩具用得更久”,玩具是否用得久,还受本身的质量或其他因素的影响,用“一定(must)”语气太强了,改用“可能(could)”更好。
另外,我们知道,情态动词有三大特征:
(1)后面一定要接动词原形,并与之一起构成谓语。
(2)没有人称和数的变化。
(3)其疑问式或否定式不借助于do。
因此,我们还要考虑作者是否因不懂情态动词的基本用法而用错了。如[真题再练]15,must后接found,这就错了,应改为原形find。
△考点归纳
谓语动词的错误不但每年必考,而且考得最多,每套题中平均有两处错。到目前为止,仅考查了以下8点:
1. 前后谓语动词的时态不一致。
2. 主动语态中已有行为动词时却多用了be。
3. 被动语态中或者完成时态中,过去分词拼写错。
如:
A little girl was hurted and her mother needed help. (2009大纲卷II)
解析:
“小女孩被弄伤”,用被动语态是对的,但hurt的过去式、过去分词与原形是相同的,即hurt—hurt—hurt,故hurted错了,应改为hurt。
Since then we haven’t see each other much.But we’ve kept writing to each other. (2007新课标卷)
解析:
由since then(自那时起到现在)可知,用现在完成时是正确的,但现在完成时由“have 过去分词”构成,故see错了,要改为seen。
4. 并列谓语的时态形式应该一致却没有一致。
5. 主语与谓语在人称和数方面应该一致却没有一致。
6. 情态动词后本应接动词原形却接了过去式,或者根本没有动词。
如:
So real friendship should able to stand all sorts of tests.
解析:
should是情态动词,后面一定要跟动词原形,而able是形容词,故应加be,构成be able to(能够)。
7. 虚拟语气。
如:
My father was so pleased that he suggested I went to England for a holiday.
解析:
因表示“提议,建议”的suggest后的宾语从句的谓语动词要用“(should ) do”,所以went要改为go。
8. 命题人有时也会利用某些动词的过去式与过去分词拼写相同,将一般过去时故意误写成现在完成时,要求考生删除have或has。
如:
Li Ming came to see me every day. Then his father has changed jobs and they moved to another city. 解析:
由后面的并列句中的moved可知,change也用一般过去时,故删除changed前的has。
提醒: 时态只需注意前后一致,且只需注意现在时与过去时就行了。如[真题再练]2,根据Since then(从那时起到现在),或由下文are growing are small可知,应当用现在时,而had是过去时,应改为have即可。不必按现在完成进行时、现在进行时、一般现在时这样去理解。
