【AEAS考试网】混淆的动词形态

发布时间:2016-08-31

英语是AEAS考试培训中至关重要的课程,2016AEAS考试报名时大家关注较多的就是英语方面。为了更好的提高广大考试的AEAS真题模拟成绩,下面AEAS考试网带领大家一起学习混淆的动词形态。

从观察所得,动词形态错误的一个原因是不规则动词的混淆所引起的。

这里便举些例子谈谈。

㈠ Hang

这动词有两个主要意思,就是“悬挂”和“吊死”。前者的过去式和过去分词是hung,如:

① Mr Lim hung a newly bought oil painting on the wall.

② Who has hung the dirty clothes on the tree?

Hang当“吊死”时用,它的过去式和过去分词是hanged,如:

③ The prisoner hanged himself in the prison.

④ Drug-traffickers, if arrested, will be hanged.

如果贸贸然用hung代替hanged或以hanged取代hung就会令人莫名其妙,如:

⑤ The murderer was caught and hung.

⑥ How can such a nice painting be hanged in the kitchen?

㈡ Lie

这动词的常见意思是“说谎”和“躺下”。前者的过去式和过去分词是lied;后者的是lay和lain.

若不小心,把两个动词的形式搞乱了,很可能会有这样的错误:

⑦ The puppy lied on the carpet and slept.

⑧ Have you lain to your good friend?

⑦里的应为lay;⑧里的是lied.

提到lay,它也是原动词,意思是“生产”或“摆设”;过去式和过去分词都是laid,如:

⑨ That hen has laid its first egg.

⑩ Mother laid the table for dinner.

㈢ Speed

当“急驰”时,这动词的过去式和过去分词是sped;和up连用当 “加速”解时,则用speeded,如:

The boy ran out of doors and sped down the main road.

The new scheme has speeded up the administrative process.

㈣ Bear

这动词有几个意思,包括“生产”和“出生”,过去形式是bore ,过去分词是born/borne,如:

Pat has borne two lovely children.

Lily was born after Singapore's independence.

Born只用在“出生”这意思上,其余的要用borne,如:

The Government's investments abroad have borne fruit.(结果)

David has borne with the unfriendly criticisms with tremendous courage.(忍受)
