形容词和副词的基本功能
一、形容词在句中的功能
1.形容词做定语:这是形容词最基本的功能。只需放在一个名词的前面,起修饰的作用。
He is a smart boy.他是个聪明的男生。(smart作定语)
2.形容词作表语:首先关于表语的定语是放在be动词后面的功能。
He is smart.他很聪明。(smart作表语)
3.形容词作补语:补语是起着补充说明的作用。
He found the math problem very difficult.他发现这道数学题很难。
(difficult作补语对宾语the math problem补充说明。)
4.某些情况下形容词也可作状语
①形容词(短语)置于句首常作原因状语
Helpless, we watched our home destroyed before our eyes.
我们束手无策,只能眼睁睁地看着自己的家园被毁掉。
Afraid of being caught, the thief hid himself under a bed.因为害怕被抓,这个小偷藏在床下面。

形容词作定语的注意点:
1.形容词作定语时的位置问题:通常放置被修饰的名词前,但是下列情况需后置:
①形容词短语作定语
This is a language difficult to master.这是一门难以掌握的语言。
In the distance there is a leaning tower about 180 feet high.远处有一座180英尺的斜塔。
He is a student worth of praise.他是个值得表扬的学生。
②表语形容词作定语

③形容词修饰不定代词
Someone strange is asking to see you.有个陌生人要见你。
Something unexpected happened and we had to make some changes to our plan.
发生了一些意想不到的事情,我们不得不对我们的计划做些改变。
④else修饰疑问代词和不定代词
No one else can answer the question. 其他没有人能回答这个问题。
What else do you want to say? 你想还说点什么?
2.多个形容词作定语时的词序为:大小、长短、高低形状/年龄、新旧颜色/来源、国籍、地区、出处/材料/
用途(熟记下列顺口溜:限定描绘大长高,形状年龄和新老,颜色国籍跟材料,作用类别往后靠)。
It’s a _______ clock, made of brass and dating from the nineteenth century.
A. charming French small
B. French small charming
C. small French charming
D. charming small French
3.alone/afraid/asleep/awake/alive/ashamed/ill/well(身体好)等常用作表语而不用作定语
He is an ill man.(错)→He is a sick man或The man is ill.(对)
She is an afraid girl.(错)→The girl is afraid.(对)
4.twoyearold/200metrelong/onethousandword等复合形容词中的名词要用单数,一般只用作前置定语
