英语句子语法问题,英文写作底层规范4、主语缺失的不完整句3、附加细节不完整句总结所有的不完整句,大致分为如下四种情况:1、连词或从属词不完整句2、分词不定式不完整句
教学内容:英文写作
适合人群:英语教师、英语专业学生、初高中生等
从语法角度讲,一个完整的句子起码要包括两个部分:主语和谓语动词。如果动词是及物的,则必须要有宾语;如动词时系动词,则应有表语。
任何一个句子都要遵循五种简单句的规则。否则,这个句子就是不完整句。在写作中,不完整句是一种十分常见的语法错误,应该加以改正。
总结所有的不完整句,大致分为如下四种情况:
1、连词或从属词不完整句
2、分词不定式不完整句
3、附加细节不完整句
4、主语缺失的不完整句
连词或从属词不完整句
在英语句子里,连词是起到连接作用的,即连接两个逻辑相关的句子。之所以是连词,就表明必须是两个或两个以上的句子,否则连词就失去了意义。
同学们的经典错误就是:两个句子,直接用逗号连接,不管不顾,咋说都不听。一个逗号走天下,任你耳提面命,我一逗到底!

分词不定式不完整句
无论是doing,还是to do不定式,或是done过去分词,都属于非谓语动词。非谓语动词,顾名思义,是不能做谓语的阉割动词。而一个完整的句子,一定要有动词,所以非谓语动词的出现会导致句子不完整。
- Doing通常放在另外一个句子后面,做伴随状语。或放在名词后面做后置定语。
- To do 通常放在另外一个句子后面,做目的状语或结果状语。或放在名词后面做后置定语。
- Done 通常放在状语从句里面,放在连词后面,省略主语。或放在名词后面做后置定语。

主语缺失的不完整句,通常都是大家因为感觉主语相同而想当然地去掉主语,这样就造成了主语的缺失。

总结
今天讲的这四点以及举例都是上一讲“写出正确的句子”得展开。实际上在学生的作文中,错误类型各种各样。正确的句子往往千篇一律,错误的句子往往各有不同。但是不管怎样,我们这两节课主要的目标是:
写出正确的句子。
如果自己在这方面很难进步,那就找身边的人帮助自己,从翻译句子练起。再多的理论,都不如“说干就干”!
