英語(yǔ)中有四種基本的句式:陳述句、祈使句、疑問(wèn)句和感嘆句。
Declarative: Tom'll come to the meeting tomorrow.
陳述句:(湯姆明天會(huì)參加會(huì)議。)
Imperative: Turn to page 232 in your science book.
祈使句:(請(qǐng)把你的科學(xué)課本翻到第232頁(yè))
Interrogative: Where do you live?
疑問(wèn)句:(你住在哪里啊?)
Exclamatory: That's awesome!
感嘆句:(太棒了!)
1.Declarative
陳述句
A declarative sentence "declares" or states a fact, arrangement or opinion. Declarative sentences can be either positive or negative. A declarative sentences ends with a period (.).
陳述句是對(duì)事實(shí)、安排或觀(guān)點(diǎn)進(jìn)行“聲明”或陳述。陳述句可以是肯定句,也可以是否定句。陳述句以句號(hào)(.)結(jié)尾。
I'll meet you at the train station.
(我們?cè)诨疖?chē)站見(jiàn)面吧。)
The sun rises in the East.
(太陽(yáng)從東方升起。)
He doesn't get up early.
(他不早起。)
2.Imperative
祈使句
The imperative form instructs (or sometimes requests). The imperative takes no subject as 'you' is the implied subject. The imperative form ends with either a period (.) or an exclamation point (!).
祈使句是發(fā)出命令(有時(shí)是要求)的一種句式。祈使句中一般沒(méi)有主語(yǔ),you是隱含的主語(yǔ)。祈使句以句號(hào)(.)或感嘆號(hào)(!)結(jié)尾。
Open the door.
(把門(mén)打開(kāi)。)
Finish your homework.
(把你的作業(yè)做完。)
Pick up that mess.
(把這亂七八糟的收拾一下。)
3.Interrogative
疑問(wèn)句
The interrogative asks a question. In the interrogative form the auxiliary verb precedes the subject which is then followed by the main verb (i.e., Are you coming ....?). The interrogative form ends with a question mark (?).
疑問(wèn)句就是提出問(wèn)題的句式。疑問(wèn)句中,助動(dòng)詞位于主語(yǔ)前面,而主語(yǔ)后則跟著主動(dòng)詞(例如:Are you coming..?)。疑問(wèn)句以問(wèn)號(hào)結(jié)尾。
How long have you lived in France?
(你在法國(guó)住了多久呀?)
When does the bus leave?
(公交什么時(shí)候開(kāi)走的?)

(你喜歡聽(tīng)古典音樂(lè)嗎?)
4.Exclamatory
感嘆句
The exclamatory form emphasizes a statement (either declarative or imperative) with an exclamation point (!).
感嘆句通過(guò)感嘆號(hào)(!)對(duì)一個(gè)陳述(陳述句或祈使句中)進(jìn)行了強(qiáng)調(diào)。
Hurry up!
(快點(diǎn)!)
That sounds fantastic!
(聽(tīng)起來(lái)棒極了!)
I can't believe you said that!
(我真不敢相信你會(huì)那么說(shuō)!)
Sentence Structures
句型結(jié)構(gòu)
Writing in English begins with the sentence. Sentences are then combined into paragraphs. Finally, paragraphs are used to write longer structures such as essays, business reports, etc.
英語(yǔ)寫(xiě)作都是以句子開(kāi)頭,句子又組成段落。最后,段落形成更長(zhǎng)的結(jié)構(gòu),如短文、商務(wù)報(bào)告等等。
The first sentence structure is the most common:
第一種句型結(jié)構(gòu)是最常見(jiàn)的:
1.Simple Sentences
簡(jiǎn)單句
Simple sentences contain no conjunction (i.e., and, but, or, etc.).
簡(jiǎn)單句中沒(méi)有連接詞(如and, but, or等)

(弗蘭克飛快地吃了飯。)

(上個(gè)星期六,皮特和蘇去了博物館。)
Are you coming to the party?
(你會(huì)去那個(gè)派對(duì)嗎?)
2.Compound Sentences
并列復(fù)合句
Compound sentences contain two statements that are connected by a conjunction (i.e., and, but, or, etc.).
復(fù)合句由兩個(gè)陳述構(gòu)成,這兩個(gè)陳述由連接詞(如and, but or等)連在一起。
