一. 教学内容:
英文写作基础——动词
引言
写作的基础是词汇。词汇是表达思想的基本要素。按照大纲要求,高中毕业应掌握2000左右词汇。我们可以将这些词汇分类,找出最常用的几百个。对于这几百个词汇,要做到四会,即听得懂,说得出,会认读,能拼写。
学习一个词汇不仅要知道它的意义,而且要知道它的词性。英文中有名词,动词,形容词,副词,介词,冠词和连词。
动词
文章是由句子组成的。每一个句子都少不了谓语。而担任谓语的是动词。对于一个很活跃的动词,我们应该掌握以下几个方面:
一. 准确的读音和拼写
听得懂,说得出是写作的基础。只有掌握了正确读音,才能做到这一点。只有正确的拼写才能准确无误地传达信息。太多的拼写错误会影响书面表达的得分。
二. 基本意义
三. 常用其它意义
除了基本意义之外,这些词在其它语境中还会有不同的意义,有自己的使用范畴。因此,只掌握基本意义是不够的。
四. 常见搭配
我们所说的搭配,不仅包括动词与介词﹑副词的搭配,而且包括与名词搭配的意义。以动词make为例。make的基本意义是“制作”,而make beds意思是“整理床铺”,make use of意思是“利用”,make money挣钱,make a fortune: “发财”,make faces“做鬼脸”等等。
五. 过去式与过去分词
在书面表达中很少用到一般现在时,除非是表示规律性和反复发生的动作,当涉及时态时,就会用到动词的过去式﹑过去分词和现在分词等形式。因此,熟练掌握一些常用不规则动词的过去式和过去分词是非常必要的。这里,我们为同学们列出书面表达中经常使用的一些动词的形式。为了记忆方便,将它们分成AAA,ABB,AAB,ABA和ABC五种形式。一个字母代表一种形式。
AAA: cut, set, cost, hurt, let, put, set, shut, spread, read
hang – hung – hung (挂
understand – understood – understood
win – won – won
AAB: beat – beat – beaten
run – ran – run
forbid – forbade – forbidden forgive – forgave – forgiven
六. 及物动词与不及物动词
英语动词分为及物动词和不及物动词。这一点与中文差别较大。表达同样的意思时,中文可以接宾语,而英文却不行,需要更换另一个及物动词,或接介词。这种现象是很常见的。如:
arrive(vi.) / reach( vt. ): When did you reach the top of the mountain?
When did you arrive at the top of the mountain?
sit / seat : He is sitting in the sofa.
He seated himself in the sofa. / He is seated in the sofa.
lie / lay: He was lying in bed.
He laid himself in bed.
rise / raise: The prices keep rising.
look / see: We looked at each other and smiled.
此外,常用不及物动词:come, go, run, walk, work, live, stay, sleep, travel, fight (against), think (of / about), speak (to)(speak English除外),talk (to, with), happen, take place, break out, appear, agree (with), belong (to), insist (on), die, fail, succeed (in), knock (at), reply (to), rush, wait (for), worry (about)
七. 后接宾语的形式
在及物动词中,有些后面要求接不定式作宾语,有些要求接动词的 –ing 形式。要分类记忆。

11. resist doing 12. consider doing
13. mind doing / sb.'s doing / if sb. do

八. 瞬时动词
有些动作瞬间发生,不能延续。如:die, begin, start, join, enter, arrive, borrow, lend, buy, marry等等。
