Grammar 8:倒装和构词法
倒装(inversion)
指句子的主语与谓语位置颠倒,有两种情况:全部倒装和部分倒装。
1) 全部倒装(full inversion):指句子的谓语完全置于主语前。可分为下列情况:
a. 句首为方位词in,out,away,off,down,up等,谓语动词为go,come等表示位置转移的动态动词。
e.g.Off flew the birds.
In came the old man.
Out rushed the children from the classroom.
Up went the rocket into the sky.
b. 句首为here,there,now,then,hence等词,谓语动词为be,go,come,fall,lie,stand等的一般现在/过去时。
e.g.Here is the book you want.
There goes the bell.
Now comes your turn.
Then came the order to take off.
Hence began the story.
There stood a tall tree in the plain.
但上述两种情况在主语为代词时不倒装。
e.g.Here you are.
There it is.
He came in.
2) 部分倒装(partial inversion)指将谓语的一部分放在主语前。有下列情况:
a. 否定词或带有否定意义的词或词组放在句首时。常见的有never, little, hardly, neither/ nor, rarely, seldom, in no way, by no means, no sooner…than… 等。
e.g.Nowhere was the lost car to be found.
No sooner had I left the room than he came.
Not until quite recently did I know what had happened.
b. only所修饰的状语放在句首时。
e.g.Only when I visited her did I realize how ill she was.
Only by this means can you start to make progress.
Only standing in this land on your own can you understand the secret of civilization.
a. 频度状语、方式状语、地点状语和程度状语放在句首时。
e.g.Often had I intended to speak of it.
Seated on the ground were a group of musicians.
Happy are those who are contented.
In this way will you conquer all the difficulties in the world.
3) 其他情况的倒装。
a.如果前面句子所说的情况也适合后面的句子,且为肯定句,用so代替。
e.g.They can leave now, so can we.
I had a nice time. So did my sister.
但若指的是同一主语的动作,表示对说话内容的肯定,则不倒装。
e.g.---She is pretty.
---So she is.
---He will go on holiday.
---So he will.
b.由as/ though引起的倒装,结构为adj./adv./v./n. + as+ 主语+谓语。
e.g.Young as/ though she is, she has seen much of the world.
Try as/ though I might, I could not bring him round.
Fast as/ though he runs, he can’t keep up with her.
Child as/ though she is, she is courageous.
1. 构词法(word formation)

e.g.blackboard schoolyard toothbrush footprint everywhere maybe

2) 转化(conversion)指词性发生变化。
e.g.It snows.
The food tastes good.
He is watering the flowers.
Let’s hand in the papers.
She cleans the room every day.
3)派生(derivation)指有词根加上前缀或后缀构成一个新词。
a.前缀(prefix)。
dis- disagree disappear dislike
un- unfair untie unlimited
in- incomplete incorrect
im- impossible impatient
non- non-stop non-reader non-smoker
