形容詞常用來修飾名詞或代詞,表示人或物的特征、性質和狀態(tài),在句中可以作表語或定語。本文我們重點學習三個與形容詞有關的句型。
句型一:It is + adj. + for sb to do sth
該句型中的形容詞多用來表示動詞不定式所具備的特征或客觀情況,意為“對某人來說做某事是……的”。這類形容詞有cheap, dangerous, difficult, easy, exciting, expensive, important, interesting, necessary, possible, useful, wonderful等。如:
It is very dangerous for children to cross the busy street.
對孩子們來說,穿過繁忙的街道很危險。
It’s necessary for you to choose that job.
你選擇那份工作是有必要的。
句型二:It is + adj. + of sb to do sth
該句型中的形容詞多用來描述人的性格或品質等,意為“某人做某事真是太……了”。這類形容詞有brave, careless, clever, foolish, good, helpful, honest, kind, nice, polite, silly, wrong等。如:
It’s careless of you to lose so many things.
你丟失這么多東西,真是太粗心了。
It’s very nice of him to offer me a seat.
他給我讓座,真是太好了。
句型三:It is + adj. + to do sth
該句型中的形容詞多用來表達對某一件事的看法,意為“做某事是……的”。當敘述眾所周知的事情或沒有必要表示出動詞不定式的邏輯主語時,通常不需要加for / of sb。如:
It is useful to remember lots of words before the exams.
考試前記住很多單詞是有用的。
It is impolite to speak loudly in the library.
在圖書館大聲說話是不禮貌的。
