在現(xiàn)實生活和教學(xué)實踐中,連系動詞的用法可以說是無處不有,其實,有少數(shù)動詞既可作連系動詞又可作實義動詞,下面我們一起看看連系動詞有哪些用法。
一、表示主語的特征或狀態(tài)的連系動詞有:be,feel,look,seem,appear,sound,smell,taste等。例如:

二、表示主語由一種狀態(tài)變?yōu)榱硪环N狀態(tài)的有:become,get,grow,turn,fall,go,come等。例如:

The temperature will stay/keep above zero in the day-time. (白天的溫度一直在零度以上。)
四、不同類型的系動詞有時可以互相換用。如be與feel,seem與appear,become與grow,get與become, remain與stay等。例如:
She was so tired. = She felt so tired. (她太累了。)
He became young. = He grew young. (他變得年輕了。)
She remained calm. = She stayed calm. (她變得聰明了。)
The story seems/appears very instructive. (那故事似乎很有教育意義。)
五、連系動詞的特別用法:
1. 表示突然變化時可以用turn;表示漸變時多用get或grow。例如:

Our teachers hair is growing white. (我們老師的頭發(fā)逐漸變白了。)
2. 表示主語由好變壞或使人產(chǎn)生不愉快的情緒時常用go,與表示意義的或帶前綴un-的形容詞連用的常用come. 例如:

The meat went bad. (肉變質(zhì)了。)
Her beautiful dream has come true. (他的美夢實現(xiàn)了。)
The knot came untied. (繩結(jié)解開了。)
3. 在become 后面接可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)時,名詞前要用不定冠詞,而turn 后面的可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)前則不用。例如:
So people say the world itself is not becoming more and more peaceful. (世界本身變得越來越不太平了。)
