概述
如果不是并列的动作,英语小句一般只允许使用一个谓语动词,这个动词是句子的中心。
汉语小句里的谓语不受形态变化约束,充当谓语的有动词、名词、形容词、主谓结构。
1. 你没变。 (动词) You have not changed.
2. 6月5日我生日。 (名词) June 5 is my birthday.
3. 树绿了。(形容词) Trees are green.
4. 这个问题我会解决。(主谓结构) I will solve this problem.
5. 你应该打开窗户换换空气。(连动式)You should open the window to let some fresh air in
6. 我找本书看看。(兼语式) I want to read a book.
英语动词有数、时、体、态等范畴,汉语动词不完全具有以上语法范畴,需要借助其他手段(词汇手段和语法手段)来表达上述意义。时态指的是行为或状态与说话时刻的关系,这是一种外部关系。体是语法范畴,包括视点体和情状体。前者包括进行体和完成体,后者是一个词项内在的体意义特征,包括状态、活动、成就、瞬间、实现。
